Case brief
RBI imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 23,000 on The Ahmedabad Mercantile Co-operative Bank Limited, Ahmedabad. The bank was found non-compliant for not submitting certain borrower credit information to CICs.
Impact
The bank must absorb the penalty and address the compliance lapse in reporting borrower credit information to CICs. The order does not itself impose a new operational restriction, but it signals possible further regulatory action if non-compliance continues. Depositors and borrowers are not directly restricted by this release, though the bank must strengthen reporting controls going forward.
Why RBI acted
Regulatory basis
- Section 25(1)(iii) read with Section 23(4) of the Credit Information Companies (Regulation) Act, 2005
