RBI Fine Rs 3.95 cr on Kotak Mahindra Bank, Rs 12.19 cr on ICICI Bank

Two well-known banks have been penalized by the RBI for failing to comply with several regulatory norms.

On Tuesday, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) levied a fine of Rs 3.95 crore on Kotak Mahindra Bank and Rs 12.19 crore on ICICI Bank for their failure to comply with certain regulatory norms.

Kotak Mahindra Bank was penalized for neglecting to conduct an annual review or due diligence of its service provider, as well as for breaching contact hour regulations with customers.

The bank received criticism for charging interest from the disbursement due date instead of the actual disbursement date, which goes against the terms of sanction. The central bank stated these findings in a formal announcement.

ICICI Bank faced penalties due to its involvement in granting loans to companies where two of its directors held positions on the board.

The bank was found to be promoting and selling non-financial products, while displaying a careless approach towards reporting fraudulent activities to the RBI within the designated timeframe.

The central bank deemed these accumulated infractions severe enough to warrant the imposition of administrative penalties.

As per the RBI, ICICI Bank was fined for violating sub-section (1) of Section 20 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (BR Act), which was imposed in combination with the RBI's guidelines on 'Loans and Advances-Statutory and Other limitations'.
