Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹1.50 lakh penalty on The Kheralu Nagrik Sahakari Bank Limited, Dist. Mehsana, Gujarat. The action was for non-compliance with investment directions and KYC requirements.
Impact
The bank must absorb the penalty, and the order may also leave open the possibility of further RBI action. There is no stated operational restriction on deposits, lending, or other business activity, but the compliance lapses identified remain relevant for ongoing supervision.
