The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has, imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 2 Crore on Standard Chartered Bank–India for non-compliance with certain directions under “Reserve Bank of India (Frauds – Classification and Reporting by commercial banks and select FIs) Directions 2016”.
RBI had issued a notice to the bank advising it to show cause for such non-compliance with the directions. After considering the bank’s reply to the notice and oral submissions made in the personal hearing, RBI concluded that the charge of non-compliance with aforesaid RBI directions was substantiated and accordingly warranted imposition of monetary penalty.
