Case brief
RBI has extended the existing Section 35A Directions on National Mercantile Co-operative Bank Ltd., Lucknow. The directions will continue unchanged until December 10, 2024, subject to review.
Impact
The bank remains under RBI Directions for the extended period, so its operations continue to be constrained under the existing terms. The order affects the bank and, depending on the original Directions, may continue to limit ordinary business conduct until the review date or further RBI action.
