Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹25 lakh penalty on Shikshak Sahakari Bank Limited, Nagpur for breaching exposure norms for borrower groups. The bank had renewed credit facilities above the prescribed prudential limit.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and may face further regulatory action, as RBI noted the penalty is without prejudice to any other action that may be initiated. The release does not impose a new operational restriction, but it signals ongoing supervisory concern regarding borrower exposure limits.
Why RBI acted
