Case brief
RBI has imposed a monetary penalty of ₹43.30 lakh on Rajkot Nagarik Sahakari Bank Ltd., Rajkot. The action follows multiple compliance breaches involving connected lending, ineligible savings accounts, and deposit-account maintenance issues.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the underlying compliance gaps identified by RBI. The action does not by itself restrict operations, but it signals heightened supervisory scrutiny around connected lending, account-opening eligibility, and deposit-account maintenance practices.
