State-run lender Allahabad Bank on Tuesday said Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a penalty of Rs 2 crore on it for violation of the Banking Regulation Act.
"The Reserve Bank of India in exercise of power conferred under Section 47 (A) (1) (c) read with Section 46 (4) (i) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, has imposed a penalty of Rs 20 million (2 crore) on our bank," the city-based lender said in a fling to BSE.
