“The Registrar of Cooperative Societies, West Bengal has also been requested to issue an order for winding up the bank and appoint a liquidator for the bank. The continuance of the bank is prejudicial to the interests of its depositors. Public interest would be adversely affected if the bank is allowed to carry on its banking business any further”, said official statement issued by RBI.
