Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) imposed penalties on two private-sector banks – ICICI Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank. The apex bank has imposed a penalty or Rs 12.19 crore on ICICI Bank and Rs 3.95 crore on Kotak Mahindra Bank. The fine was imposed for non-compliance of certain regulatory norms.
RBI informed that it imposed penalty on Kotak Mahindra Bank as the lender failed to carry out annual review/due diligence of the service provider, failed to ensure that customers are not contacted after 7 pm and before 7 am, and levied interest from disbursement due date instead of the actual date of disbursement, contrary to the terms and conditions of sanction.
