Case brief

RBI imposed a ₹20,000 penalty on Sahyadri Sahakari Bank Ltd., Mumbai, for non-compliance with supervisory directions under the Supervisory Action Framework. The bank had not reduced its single-borrower exposure limit as required for fresh loans and advances.

Impact

The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and continue complying with RBI’s SAF directions, especially limits on fresh lending exposures. The order does not itself cancel or suspend the bank’s licence, but it underscores continued supervisory scrutiny and the risk of further RBI action if non-compliance persists.

Case brief

RBI imposed a ₹6 lakh penalty on The Sahayadri Sahakari Bank Limited, Mumbai for regulatory non-compliances. The breaches covered DEA Fund transfers, SAF-related deposit pricing, and KYC/dormant account/risk review lapses.

Impact

The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the compliance gaps identified by RBI. Forward-looking expectations include stronger DEA Fund transfer processes, adherence to SAF-linked pricing directions, periodic KYC updation, annual dormant-account reviews, and regular risk categorisation reviews for high-risk customers. The action directly affects the bank and its compliance obligations; customers are indirectly affected through tighter account monitoring and deposit-account governance.
