New Delhi, Feb 7 (UNI) The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a monetary penalty on two private lenders – Federal Bank and Karur Vysya Bank Limited for non-compliance with certain directions on “Interest Rate on Deposits” in case of Federal Bank and “Loan System for Delivery of Bank Credit” in case of second Bank.
A monetary penalty of Rs 27.30 lakh has been imposed on Federal Bank Limited while the Karur Vysya Bank get a penalty of Rs 8.30 lakh, the RBI said in a notification on its website on Friday.

Further, imposition of monetary penalty is without prejudice to any other action that may be initiated by RBI against the bank.
