RBI placed Sadbhav Nagrik Sahakari Bank Maryadit, Chhatarpur, under Section 35A directions restricting core banking activities. The bank can continue operating only under tight conditions, including a ₹5,000 withdrawal cap per depositor account.

The bank must operate under RBI-imposed restrictions, limiting lending, deposit-taking, liability creation, and asset disposal. Depositors can withdraw only up to ₹5,000 per account as specified, while the bank remains under RBI monitoring for possible modification of the directions. This affects customers, depositors, and the bank's management until the order is reviewed or amended.

• Section 35 A of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949
• Section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949

RBI imposed a monetary penalty of ₹1 lakh on Sadbhav Nagarik Sahakari Bank Maryadit, Chhatarpur. The bank was found non-compliant with SAF instructions, including failure to reduce the single borrower exposure limit for fresh lending.

The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and remain exposed to any further RBI action that may arise from the same compliance deficiencies. The release does not itself impose a new operational restriction, but it underscores RBI’s expectation that the bank follow SAF-linked lending exposure limits going forward.
