In a statement, the RBI said the inspection report of the bank based on its financial position as on March 31, 2019 revealed non-adherence/violation of specific directions issued to it under the Supervisory Action Framework (SAF).
Based on the report, a show cause notice was issued.
"After considering the bank''s reply and oral submissions made during the personal hearing, RBI came to the conclusion that the aforesaid charge of non-adherence/violation of RBI directions was substantiated and warranted imposition of monetary penalty," the central bank said.
