Case brief
RBI imposed a Rs 2.50 lakh penalty on Noida Commercial Co-operative Bank Ltd., Ghaziabad for regulatory non-compliance. The lapses included failure to transfer amounts to the Depositor Education and Awareness Fund, sanctioning a director-related loan, and not classifying/reporting a fraud.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty, and the order may be followed by additional RBI action if warranted. The release does not impose a forward-looking business restriction, but it highlights supervisory deficiencies that the bank must address to avoid further enforcement action.
