New Delhi. The Indian Overseas Bank of the public sector has suffered a major setback. Actually, the Reserve Bank of India ie RBI has imposed a fine of Rs 2.20 crore on the bank. The central bank said on Friday that it imposed a penalty on the bank for non-compliance with rules related to income determination and other deficiencies in regulatory compliance.

This fine has been imposed for violation of the provisions of certain instructions of RBI. These include ‘Prudential Norms on Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisions relating to Advances etc. The RBI said the action is based on deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not concerned with the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers.

The Chennai-based bank failed to make the minimum mandatory transfer of an amount equal to 25 per cent of the declared profit for the year 2020-21 to its reserve fund.

No impact on customer deposits
Due to the imposition of penalty on Indian Overseas Bank by RBI, there will be no impact on the deposit capital of the bank’s customers. The reason for this is that RBI has taken action on the bank for not following the rules. In such a situation, it will not have any effect on the service of the bank.
