Case brief
RBI has imposed a ₹5 lakh penalty on The Citizens Urban Cooperative Bank Ltd., Jalandhar, for breaches of lending limits and cyber security requirements.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the compliance gaps identified by RBI, particularly around lending limits for nominal members and cyber security controls such as two-factor authentication. The order does not invalidate customer transactions, but RBI may initiate further action if warranted.
