Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹3 lakh penalty on The Muslim Co-operative Bank Limited, Pune. The action was for non-compliance with RBI directions on maintenance of deposit accounts.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the compliance gaps identified by RBI. The action does not itself impose a business restriction, but it signals supervisory concerns and leaves open the possibility of further RBI action if deficiencies persist.
