With an aim to provide comfort to depositors of cooperative and multi-state cooperative banks, the government has said that all urban cooperative banks and multi-state cooperative banks will come under the supervision of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which is applicable to commercial banks.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar said depositor will be assured his money is safe. He said an ordinance in this regard will be promulgated. There are about 1,482 crore urban cooperative banks and 58 multi-state co-operative banks with a depositors base of about 8.6 crore.
The decision assumes significance amid lakhs of depositors facing problems after a scam in the multi-state Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative (PMC) Bank. Earlier, the Cabinet had approved amendment to Banking Regulation Act to strengthen cooperative banks and avoid PMC Bank like crisis.
