What restrictions has the RBI imposed on the New India Cooperative Bank?

The RBI has imposed restrictions on the New India Cooperative Bank effective from February 13, which will remain in place for six months pending review. The central bank cited material developments as the reason for this intervention, with the primary aim of protecting depositor interests and ensuring financial stability. During this period, the bank is prevented from disbursing funds, which has caused concern among depositors who have been lining up outside bank branches worried about accessing their savings. This regulatory action highlights the RBI's role in maintaining stability in the cooperative banking sector.
