Case brief
RBI imposed a Rs 2 lakh penalty on The Gandevi People’s Co-operative Bank Ltd., Navsari, Gujarat. The penalty was for breaches of RBI directions on inter-bank deposits and fraud reporting.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty; no operational restriction or customer-facing ban is described in the release. The action serves as a compliance sanction for past breaches, particularly around exposure limits and timely fraud reporting, but does not itself impose a forward-looking business restriction.
Why RBI acted
Regulatory basis
- Section 47 A (1) (c) read with Sections 46 (4) (i) and 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949
