RBI imposes penalty on SBI, Indian Bank, Punjab & Sind Bank
The Reserve Bank on Monday said it has imposed penalties on three state-owned banks, including SBI and Indian Bank, for violation of various regulatory norms. A penalty of ₹1.3 crore has been imposed on the State Bank of India for non-compliance with certain directions issued by the RBI on ‘Loans and Advances – Statutory and Other Restrictions’ and ‘Guidelines on Management of Intra-Group Transactions and Exposures’, it said in a statement.

In another release, the RBI said a penalty of ₹1.62 crore has been imposed on Indian Bank for contravention of certain directions on ‘Loans and Advances – Statutory and Other Restrictions’, KYC, and ‘Reserve Bank of India (Interest Rate on Deposits) Directions, 2016’.
 
A monetary penalty of ₹1 crore on Punjab & Sind Bank was slapped for non-compliance with certain provisions of the depositor education and awareness fund scheme.
 
The RBI has also imposed a penalty of ₹8.80 lakh on Fedbank Financial Services Limited for non-compliance with certain provisions of the directions on monitoring fraud in NBFCs.
 
The RBI, however, added that the penalties on the banks and the NBFC are based on deficiencies in regulatory compliance and are not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by them with their customers.
