Case brief

RBI imposed a monetary penalty of ₹43.30 lakh on Zoroastrian Co-operative Bank Ltd., Mumbai. The bank was found non-compliant with directions on deposit account maintenance, interest on deposits, and fraud reporting.

Impact

The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and is expected to strengthen compliance around deposit account practices, interest payment processes, and prompt fraud reporting. The order does not state a direct operational restriction, but it signals supervisory findings that may require tighter internal controls and customer-facing compliance improvements.

Case brief

RBI imposed a ₹1.25 crore penalty on Zoroastrian Co-operative Bank Ltd., Bombay. The bank was found non-compliant with RBI directions on LC-based bill discounting and record-preservation rules.

Impact

The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the compliance failures identified by RBI, particularly around LC-related bill discounting controls and record preservation. The action does not itself restrict ongoing banking operations or invalidate customer transactions, but it signals supervisory scrutiny over similar future conduct.
