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.
