Case brief
RBI imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 50,000 on The Nawada Central Co-operative Bank Limited, Bihar for KYC non-compliance. The bank had failed to upload customer KYC records to CKYCR within the prescribed timeline.
Impact
The bank must absorb the financial penalty, and the finding highlights deficiencies in its KYC compliance controls. The order does not by itself invalidate customer transactions, but RBI may initiate further action if warranted.
Why RBI acted
Regulatory basis
