Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹25 lakh penalty on The Mehsana Urban Co-operative Bank Limited, Gujarat. The bank was found to have failed to classify certain borrower accounts as NPAs.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the underlying asset-classification compliance lapse. The order does not itself impose an operational restriction, but it signals supervisory concern and may be followed by further RBI action if non-compliance continues.
Why RBI acted
