RBI Imposes Restrictions on New India Co-operative Bank: Customers Unable to Withdraw Funds
Mumbai, February 13, 2025 – The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a series of restrictions on the New India Co-operative Bank to protect depositors. This action follows concerns about the bank’s financial health and has led to severe inconveniences for customers who cannot access their funds or make deposits.
RBI Imposes Restrictions on New India Co-operative Bank
Starting on February 13, 2025, the RBI prohibited New India Co-operative Bank from issuing new loans, renewing existing loans, or accepting deposits. The bank cannot make payments or sell its assets either. These measures will last for six months to stabilize the bank’s financial condition and safeguard customers.
Why Did the RBI Impose Restrictions?
The RBI imposed the restrictions after discovering irregularities in the bank’s financial structure. The central bank raised concerns about whether the bank had enough funds to operate smoothly. As a result, the RBI restricted withdrawals from savings, current, and other accounts to protect depositors while the bank resolves its issues.
Customer Reactions: Widespread Disappointment
Customers expressed their frustration as the news spread on social media. Many rushed to bank branches to withdraw their money but found the doors closed. Videos and images showed long lines of customers outside the branches, unable to get inside.
What Does This Mean for Depositors?
Depositors are still protected by the Deposit Insurance Scheme, which guarantees coverage up to Rs 5 lakh in case of the bank’s collapse. Although customers cannot access their funds now, the RBI’s actions aim to ensure the long-term safety of their savings.
Conclusion: What’s Next for New India Co-operative Bank?
The restrictions will remain in place for the next six months, during which both the RBI and New India Co-operative Bank will work to resolve the bank’s financial issues. Customers should stay informed and watch for updates from the bank and the RBI. Further actions may follow, depending on the bank’s progress in stabilizing its operations.
