RBI Imposes Penalties on YES Bank and Hinduja Housing Finance Ltd
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has taken enforcement action against two financial institutions for non-compliance with certain provisions and directions. In a statement released on Friday, the RBI announced that a penalty of Rs 31.80 lakh has been imposed on YES Bank for failing to adhere to the 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) provisions.
According to the RBI, the bank did not put in place a system to use the KYC Identifier assigned by the Central KYC Records Registry for establishing an account-based relationship with customers. This move is part of the RBI's ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
The RBI's enforcement action follows a statutory inspection for supervisory evaluation of YES Bank, which was conducted on March 31, 2025. The inspection aimed to assess the bank's financial position and identify areas of non-compliance.
