Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹5 lakh monetary penalty on The Sankheda Nagarik Sahakari Bank Limited for regulatory non-compliance. The violations involved related-party lending/guarantee norms and inter-bank exposure limits.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and ensure future compliance with RBI’s related-party lending, guarantee, and inter-bank exposure norms. The action does not by itself state a restriction on operations, but it signals supervisory concern and may heighten compliance scrutiny going forward.
