Case brief
RBI imposed a Rs 3 lakh penalty on The Gadhinglaj Urban Co-operative Bank Ltd., Gadhinglaj. The penalty was for non-compliance with depositor fund transfer requirements and KYC-related UCIC issues.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and continue complying with RBI's depositor-fund transfer and KYC/UCIC requirements. The order does not by itself invalidate customer transactions, but it signals continued supervisory scrutiny over the bank's compliance systems.
