Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹50,000 penalty on Sree Harihareshwara Urban Co-operative Bank Limited, Harihar, Karnataka. The action was for failing to submit statutory returns to RBI on time.
Impact
The bank must bear the monetary penalty, and the order may be followed by further RBI action if warranted. The release does not describe any restriction on banking operations, but it signals continued supervisory scrutiny over statutory reporting compliance.
