 "HDFC Bank")
Reserve Bank of India has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs one crore on private sector lender HDFC Bank for non-compliance with Master Direction on Know Your Customer (KYC).
RBI had done a scrutiny of 39 current accounts opened by bank’s customers for bidding in Initial Public Offer. The investigation revealed that the bank had failed to exercise ongoing due diligence in those accounts. The transactions in these current accounts were disproportionate to the declared income and profile of the customers, RBI said in a statement today.
