Case Brief
RBI, by order dated December 29, 2025, imposed a monetary penalty on Sankhya Financial Services Private Limited for non-compliance with RBI directions on the purchase/sale of non-performing assets. The action followed a scrutiny arising from a complaint about assignment of stressed assets to an ineligible entity. After issuing a show-cause notice and considering the company’s reply and oral submissions, RBI sustained the charge that the company had assigned a non-performing asset to an ineligible entity and levied a penalty under the RBI Act, 1934.
Why RBI Acted
Following a scrutiny prompted by a complaint relating to assignment of stressed assets to an ineligible entity, RBI found non-compliance with its directions on 'Guidelines on purchase/sale of non-performing assets'. After a show-cause process and personal hearing, RBI sustained the charge that the company had assigned a non-performing asset to an ineligible entity and imposed a monetary penalty under Section 58G read with Section 58B of the RBI Act, 1934.
Operating Impact
The company must absorb the monetary penalty; the release does not impose a business restriction or suspension. The finding may also leave the company exposed to any other action RBI may choose to initiate separately, but no additional immediate operational obligation is stated in the release.
