Case brief
RBI imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 7.50 lakh on Tripura State Co-operative Bank Ltd. for KYC non-compliance. The bank had failed to upload customer KYC records to CKYCR within the prescribed timeline.
Impact
The bank must absorb the penalty and address the KYC control failure identified by RBI. The release does not impose any fresh operating restriction on deposits or lending, but RBI notes that the penalty is without prejudice to any other action that may be initiated later.
