The Reserve Bank of India has imposed a monetary penalty of ₹20,000 on The Aurangabad District Central Co-operative Bank Limited, Bihar, as of May 14, 2026. This action results from the bank's non-compliance with certain directions pertaining to 'Credit Information Reporting'.

This penalty has been issued under the powers conferred by Section 25 of the Credit Information Companies (Regulation) Act, 2005, which empowers the RBI to enforce compliance among regulated entities.
