Case brief
RBI imposed a Rs 28.30 lakh penalty on Nagpur Nagarik Sahakari Bank Ltd., Nagpur for non-compliance with directions on interest on deposits and KYC. The bank was found to have missed required interest payments and failed to periodically review customer risk categories.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and continue to comply with RBI’s deposit-interest and KYC requirements going forward. The release does not impose a business restriction, but it signals continued supervisory scrutiny and possible further action if similar deficiencies persist. Depositors and customers are affected to the extent the bank must correct interest-payment and KYC monitoring processes.
