A fine of Rs 1 Crore each had been slapped on public sector banks (PSBs) Union Bank of India (UBI), Bank of Maharashtra and Bank of India by banking regulator Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for delay in detecting and reporting fraud in some of the accounts reports Mint.
One crore each have been imposed on UBI, Bank of India and Bank of Maharashtra said the RBI in three separate statements released on Friday (7 September).
