The statutory inspection of the bank was conducted by RBI with reference to its financial position as on March 31, 2023. Based on supervisory findings of non-compliance with RBI directions & statutory provision and related correspondence in that regard, a notice was issued to the bank advising it to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed on it for its failure to comply with the said RBI directions and provision of BR Act. After considering the bank's reply to the notice and oral submissions made during the personal hearing, RBI found, inter alia, that the charges of failure to classify certain loan accounts as NPA resulting into divergence in asset classification and not transferring the eligible amount to the Depositors Education and Awareness Fund within the prescribed time period were sustained, warranting imposition of monetary penalty.
