Case brief
RBI imposed a penalty of Rs 6 lakh on The Urban Co-operative Bank Limited, Rourkela for non-compliance with KYC and deposit-account maintenance directions.
Impact
The bank must absorb the penalty and address compliance gaps in customer due diligence, identification, and deposit-account handling. The order does not invalidate customer transactions, but it underscores tighter regulatory scrutiny of the bank’s KYC and account-maintenance practices.
Why RBI acted
Regulatory basis
- Section 47 A (1) (c)
- Section 46 (4) (i)
- Section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949
