The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 59.20 lakh on IndusInd Bank for non-compliance with certain provisions of directions issued by RBI on ‘Interest Rate on Deposits’ and ‘Securitisation of Standard Assets’. This penalty has been imposed in exercise of powers conferred on RBI under the provisions of section 47A(1)(c) read with section 46(4)(i) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
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 with its customers. Further, imposition of this monetary penalty is without prejudice to any other action that may be initiated by RBI against the bank.
IndusInd Bank is one of the fastest-growing banks in the banking sector in India.
