Case brief
RBI imposed a monetary penalty of ₹61.40 lakh on The Nainital Bank Limited for non-compliance with directions on lending rates and customer service charges.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the compliance deficiencies identified by RBI. The order does not invalidate customer transactions, but it signals continued supervisory scrutiny and potential for further action if similar lapses persist.
