Case brief
RBI has imposed a ₹1.50 lakh penalty on Parbhani District Central Cooperative Bank Ltd., Maharashtra. The action follows findings of non-compliance with banking law provisions and RBI KYC directions.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the compliance lapses identified by RBI, especially around related-party lending controls and KYC/transaction monitoring systems. No depositor or operational restriction is stated in the release, but the bank remains exposed to possible further regulatory action if similar deficiencies persist.
