Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹1 lakh penalty on Tura Urban Co-operative Bank Ltd., Tura, Meghalaya. The bank was found to have violated SAF directions by overspending on capital expenditure and sanctioning loans beyond exposure limits.
Impact
The bank must absorb the penalty and remain compliant with RBI’s SAF directions going forward, including approval requirements for capital expenditure and limits on fresh lending. The release does not state any broader operational restriction, but the action signals continuing supervisory scrutiny and possible further RBI action if non-compliance persists.
