Case brief
RBI imposed a monetary penalty of ₹1 lakh on The Nizamabad District Co-operative Central Bank Ltd., Telangana. The penalty was for sanctioning certain director-related loans in contravention of the Banking Regulation Act.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty of ₹1 lakh. The order does not itself impose a forward operational restriction, but it signals supervisory concern over director-related lending and may expose the bank to further RBI action.
