During the Statutory Inspection for Supervisory Evaluation (ISE 2024), conducted as of March 31, 2024, RBI discovered that Fino Payments Bank exceeded the regulated ceiling on end-of-day account balances several times <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Triggered_the_RBI_Action\"><\/span><strong>What Triggered the RBI Action?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ISE 2024 supervisory audit revealed non-compliance with the licensing conditions specific to payments banks. Post-inspection, RBI issued a show-cause notice to the bank, requesting explanations. Despite reviewing Fino\u2019s written responses and oral defenses, the central bank concluded that regulatory breaches had indeed occurred <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Norms_Were_Violated\"><\/span><strong>Which Norms Were Violated?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payments banks are authorized to offer financial services but operate under stringent rules\u2014such as prohibiting lending and capping the maximum end-of-day balance (recently set at \u20b92 lakh per customer). Fino Payments Bank breached this ceiling across multiple customer accounts <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RBIs_Decision_and_Rationale\"><\/span><strong>RBI\u2019s Decision and Rationale<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invoking its authority under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, RBI imposed a monetary penalty to uphold regulatory discipline. Importantly, the sanction is directed at compliance shortfalls and does <strong>not<\/strong> invalidate any of the bank\u2019s customer transactions or contracts <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Implications_for_Payments_Banks\"><\/span><strong>Implications for Payments Banks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This penalty sends a warning to the rapidly growing payments bank sector: adherence to licensing conditions is non-negotiable.
