Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹13,000 penalty on The Co-operative Urban Bank Limited, Parlakhemundi, Odisha. The action was for breaching RBI directions on capital expenditure approval and credit information reporting.
Impact
The bank must bear the monetary penalty, and the finding highlights continuing compliance obligations around prior RBI approval for capital expenditure and timely reporting of customer credit information to all Credit Information Companies. The order itself does not impose a business restriction, but it leaves RBI free to take any further action if warranted.
