Case brief
RBI has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 3.80 lakh on Navi Finserv Limited for non-compliance with directions on recovery agents. The company was found to have contacted customers outside permitted hours and to have breached messaging protocol.
Impact
Navi Finserv Limited must pay the monetary penalty and continue complying with RBI’s recovery-agent and customer-contact requirements. The order itself does not suspend business, but RBI notes the penalty is without prejudice to any other action it may take in future.
