Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹5 lakh penalty on The Nakodar Hindu Urban Co-operative Bank Limited, Nakodar. The action was for non-compliance with RBI’s investment directions and breach of the prudential inter-bank exposure limit.
Impact
The bank must absorb the ₹5 lakh penalty and may face further RBI action, as the release explicitly states the penalty is without prejudice to other measures. The order does not itself restrict operations, but it signals continued supervisory scrutiny over the bank’s investment and exposure compliance.
