The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 50,000 on The District Co-operative Central Bank Limited, Eluru, Andhra Pradesh, for non-compliance with directions related to Know Your Customer (KYC) norms.
The penalty, issued under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, follows a statutory inspection by NABARD, which revealed that the bank had failed to upload customer KYC records to the Central KYC Records Registry (CKYCR) within the prescribed timeframe.
After reviewing the bank’s response and hearing its submissions, the RBI confirmed the violation and imposed the fine. The central bank clarified that the action pertains to regulatory deficiencies and does not affect the validity of customer transactions or agreements.
