RBI Imposes Penalty on Ratanchand Shah Sahakari Bank: Background
The Statutory Inspections for Supervisory Evaluation of the bank was conducted by the RBI with reference to its financial position as on March 31, 2024.
RBI found, inter alia, that the following charges against the bank were sustained, warranting imposition of monetary penalty:
- The bank had offered higher interest rates on deposits than those offered by the State Bank of India, in non-adherence to directions under Supervisory Action Framework (SAF).
- The bank had breached the single borrower exposure limit applicable for fresh loans and advances in certain instances, in non-adherence to directions under Supervisory Action Framework (SAF).
- The bank had allotted multiple customer identification codes to certain customers, instead of a Unique Customer Identification Code (UCIC) for each individual customer.
This action is based on deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers. Further, imposition of this monetary penalty is without prejudice to any other action that may be initiated by RBI against the bank.
