RBI imposed a monetary penalty of ₹3 lakh on Progressive Mercantile Co-operative Bank Limited, Ahmedabad. The bank was found non-compliant with RBI directions on audit systems, KYC, and customer protection for unauthorized electronic banking transactions.

Impact

The bank must absorb the ₹3 lakh penalty, and the adverse finding remains on record as a compliance enforcement action. RBI also noted that the penalty is without prejudice to any other action that may be initiated, so further supervisory or enforcement steps remain possible.
