Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹1 lakh penalty on The United Co-operative Bank Limited, Ahmedabad, for non-compliance with directions on placing deposits with other banks. The bank breached prudential inter-bank exposure limits.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty of ₹1 lakh; the release does not state any suspension or operational restriction. The action is a compliance enforcement measure and does not, by itself, invalidate customer transactions or agreements.
