Case brief
RBI imposed a monetary penalty of ₹4.50 lakh on The Urban Co-operative Bank Ltd., Cuttack, Odisha. The penalty was for non-compliance with KYC directions, specifically delayed upload of customer KYC records to CKYCR.
Impact
The bank must absorb the penalty and address the KYC compliance gap identified by RBI. The order does not itself pronounce on customer transactions, but it signals continued supervisory scrutiny and the possibility of further RBI action if the non-compliance persists.
Why RBI acted
