Case brief
RBI imposed a penalty of Rs 6 lakh on Bijnor Urban Co-operative Bank Limited, Bijnor. The bank was found to have violated RBI directions on director-related loans and performance guarantee issuance.
Impact
The bank must bear the monetary penalty, but the release does not impose any new operational restriction or suspension. The action serves as a compliance sanction for past violations and does not by itself bar the bank from continuing normal operations.
