RBI Imposes Withdrawal Limits and Operational Restrictions on Puducherry Co-op Urban Bank
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed restrictions on Puducherry Co-operative Urban Bank due to its deteriorating financial condition. Withdrawal limits are capped at Rs 5,000 per customer for six months, subject to review. The bank faces restrictions on loans, investments, liabilities, and asset transfers. Eligible depositors can claim up to Rs 5 lakh from the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation. RBI noted insufficient efforts by the bank to address supervisory concerns but clarified this does not imply license cancellation.
