|December 30, 2025
While the number of instances rose, the size of the penalty shrank in 2025
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) levied smaller penalties on banks in 2025, with the median fine on lenders almost half of the amount in the past two years, a Mint analysis found.
While the number of instances rose from 26 in 2023, 30 in 2024, to 38 in 2025, the size of the penalty shrank. These include fines on the public sector, private sector, foreign banks, small finance banks, and payments banks. These penalties totalled ₹25.5 crore in 2025, while the median amount was ₹55.7 lakh.
In comparison, RBI fined banks a total of ₹29.5 crore and ₹53.3 crore in 2024 and 2023 respectively. In these preceding years, the median fines were at ₹98.2 lakh and ₹1 crore respectively, data showed.
An email sent to RBI seeking comments remained unanswered.
