New Delhi. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has canceled the license of Babaji Date Mahila Sahakari Bank Limited, Yavatmal, Maharashtra. The Reserve Bank said on Friday that the lender does not have sufficient capital and earning prospects, in view of which this step has been taken. Quoting data provided by the bank, the Reserve Bank said that about 79 per cent of the depositors are entitled to receive the full amount of their deposits from the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC).
DICGC has already paid Rs 294.64 crore of the total Sum Assured till October 16, 2022.
Know the reason for cancellation of license
Consequent upon the cancellation of its licence, the Babaji Date Mahila Sahakari Bank Ltd. is prohibited from carrying on the business of ‘Banking’ which, inter alia, includes preventing it from taking and making deposits with immediate effect.
Announcing the cancellation of the license of Babaji Date Mahila Sahakari Bank after the closure of business on Friday (November 11, 2022), the Reserve Bank said that the bank does not have sufficient capital and earning potential. The Reserve Bank said that the bank with its current financial position would be unable to make full payments to its existing depositors, and public interest would be adversely affected if the bank is allowed to carry on with its banking business.
