Case brief
RBI has imposed a ₹1.30 lakh penalty on Sind Co-operative Urban Bank Ltd., Telangana. The action was taken for failing to deposit the required amount in the MSE Refinance Fund after a PSL shortfall.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and remain compliant with RBI's PSL and MSE Refinance Fund directions. The release does not indicate any additional operational restriction, but it underscores continuing compliance obligations and potential for further RBI action if the underlying non-compliance persists.
