Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 1 crore on Dhanlaxmi Bank for violation of its instructions, among other things, on Know Your Customer (KYC) norms and Anti Money Laundering (AML) standards.
The penalty has been imposed in exercise of powers vested in the Reserve Bank under the provisions of Section 47(A) (1) (c) read with Section 46(4)(i) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, taking into account the violations of the instructions/ directions/guidelines issued by the RBI from time to time. The 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 and its customers.
RBI had issued a Show Cause Notice to the bank for not having complied with the KYC and AML guidelines in respect of a current account under investigation of the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Mumbai.
