The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a fine of Rs 27.30 lakh on private sector IndusInd Bank . This fine has been imposed for non-compliance of certain provisions of the norms related to interest rates on deposits.
In a statement issued by the RBI, it was said that the central bank had conducted an inspection for supervisory evaluation of the bank regarding the financial position of IndusInd Bank as of March 31, 2023. Based on the findings of the inspection, a show cause notice was issued to the bank.
After considering IndusInd Bank’s reply to the notice and additional submissions from it, RBI found that it was justified to impose a monetary penalty on the allegations related to, among other things, opening of certain savings deposit accounts in the name of ineligible entities. However, the Reserve Bank of India has said that the penalty is based on deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by IndusInd Bank with its customers.
