Case brief
RBI imposed a penalty of ₹1 lakh on Progressive Co-operative Bank Limited, Mumbai for non-compliance with exposure norms and investment-related directions for UCBs.
Impact
The bank must absorb the penalty and remain compliant with RBI exposure and investment norms going forward. There is no indication of a broader operational restriction, but the finding signals continuing regulatory scrutiny over its inter-bank exposures and investment practices.
