Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹2.25 lakh penalty on The Yavatmal Urban Co-operative Bank Ltd., Yavatmal, Maharashtra. The action followed violations of lending limits and delayed credit-information reporting.
Impact
The bank must bear the penalty and may also face any other action RBI chooses to initiate separately. The order does not itself restrict the bank’s operations, but it highlights compliance obligations around lending exposure limits and timely credit information reporting.
