RBI fines public sector Punjab and Sind Bank for non-compliance

Mumbai/New Delhi, Mar 26 (UNI) The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 68.20 lakh on public sector lender Punjab & Sind Bank for non-compliance with certain directions issued by RBI on “Creation of a Central Repository of Large Common Exposures – Across Banks”, known as Central Repository of lnformation on Large Credits (CRlLC) – Revision in Reporting and “Financial Inclusion - Access to Banking Services – Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account (BSBDA)”.
The Statutory Inspection for Supervisory Evaluation of the bank was conducted by RBI with reference to its financial position as on March 31, 2023. Based on supervisory findings of non-compliance with RBI directions and related correspondence in that regard, a notice was issued to the bank advising it to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed on it for its failure to comply with the said directions.
After considering the bank’s reply to the notice, additional submissions made by it and oral submissions made during the personal hearing, RBI found that the charges against the bank were sustained, warranting imposition of monetary penalty.
The charges are – i) The bank did not report certain borrowers with non-fund based exposure of Rs 5 crore and above to CRILC; and ii) The bank allowed certain BSBDA holders to open Savings Bank Deposit Accounts, the RBI said in a statement.
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 monetary penalty is without prejudice to any other action that may be initiated by RBI against the bank, it added.
