Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹1 lakh penalty on Kamaraj Co-operative Town Bank Ltd., Tamil Nadu for breaching specific supervisory directions under SAF. The bank was found to have violated exposure and lending conditions.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and remains subject to any further supervisory or enforcement action RBI may choose to initiate. The release does not say any lending or deposit restrictions were newly imposed or lifted, but it underscores ongoing compliance expectations on borrower exposure, collateral backing, and balance-sheet/deposit growth.
