Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹1 crore penalty on The Mehsana Urban Co-operative Bank Limited, Mehsana (Gujarat). The action was for violations involving lending to directors/relatives, KYC/AML, and group exposure norms.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the compliance failures identified by RBI. While the release does not describe an operating restriction, it signals regulatory findings on lending discipline, AML/KYC controls, and exposure management that may require remediation and tighter internal controls going forward.
