Case brief
RBI imposed a monetary penalty of ₹13.30 lakh on Sindhudurg District Central Co-operative Bank Ltd., Maharashtra.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty of ₹13.30 lakh; the order does not by itself direct operational restrictions, but it signals supervisory non-compliance and leaves RBI free to initiate any further action as permissible. There is no stated immediate impact on depositors or customers beyond the penalty and compliance implications.
