What Stood Out

Each finding is grounded in precomputed metrics. Open it to inspect the supporting numbers and the limits of the claim.

01

Penalty values rose, but the distribution became less concentrated

The 27 disclosed penalties totalled ₹1.14 crore, compared with ₹94.9 lakh across 19 actions in May 2026. The median rose to ₹2.7 lakh from ₹2.0 lakh, while the top five accounted for 63.4% of the total, down from 72.7%.

02

Co-operative banks drove the increase in disclosed penalty value

The disclosed penalty total rose by ₹19.0 lakh, from ₹94.9 lakh to ₹1.14 crore. Co-operative banks’ disclosed value rose from ₹26.6 lakh across 9 actions to ₹49.4 lakh across 19 actions, representing a 119.4% share of the increase. That share exceeded the overall increase because payment entities and banks moved in the opposite direction.

03

The number of action records increased from May

RBI published 35 action records in June 2026, including 30 fresh actions and 5 extensions. May 2026 had 26 records, including 23 fresh actions and 3 extensions.

04

The share of severe actions was broadly unchanged

Eight actions were severe, or 22.9% of the total, compared with 6 actions and 23.1% in May 2026. June included 2 cancellations and no supersessions, against 3 cancellations and no supersessions in May 2026.
