The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed penalty on Bank of Baroda (BoB) for violating 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) as well as anti money-laundering norms (ALM). The central bank fined BoB Rs 25 lakh and cautioned other banks like State Bank of India, Axis Bank and State Bank of Patiala that they should review and comply with KYC norms. RBI reviewed the KYC and ALM processes of the bank after it received a complaint from a reputed statutory organisation in August 2013.
Bank of Baroda registered 5.46% fall in its net profit at Rs 1104.22 crore for second quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to Rs 1168.10 crore for the same quarter in the previous year. However, total income of the bank increased 13.11% at Rs 11817.32 crore for Q2FY15 as compared Rs 10447.31 crore for the corresponding quarter previous year.
