Scope: This is the plain-English library. It holds the 405 RBI documents for which BankPulse has published a plain-English summary — not every document we track. BankPulse watches 2318 RBI documents in all; the rest have no summary yet and are not listed here. See the full coverage ledger. Base date 28 Nov 2025, the day RBI consolidated its rulebook (circular DOR.RRC.REC.302/33-01-010/2025-26). Reconciled month by month against RBI's own archive, plus the consolidated Master Directions as listed on RBI's Master Directions index, last reconciled 21 October 2026. Items superseded by the consolidation are marked and kept, never deleted. Every must-read item has been checked for a stated deadline; items with none say so. Found a document we missed? Tell us.

Penalty tracker
What these penalties cost, and who pays them
464 penalties from January 2025 to October 2026. The middle one was ₹2 lakh. Amounts were read from RBI’s own words in 463 of them; 1 could not be read exactly and is left out.
Kind of lenderPenaltiesUsual penalty
Urban co-operative banks195₹1.09 lakh
Rural co-operative banks110₹1.50 lakh
Non-banking finance companies54₹3.10 lakh
Commercial banks50₹50 lakh
Housing finance companies9₹80,000
“Usual” is the middle of the list, not an average: one very large penalty would drag an average away from the ordinary case. 3 further classes of lender had too few penalties for a middle figure to mean anything, so none is given for them. 36 names could not be placed in any kind of lender and are counted in none of the rows above. No month is compared with another, because the record ends on the day it was last fetched and its final month is a part month. Counted from RBI press releases announcing a monetary penalty, held from January 2025 to October 2026. BankPulse stores penalty press releases only, so this is a complete record of the penalties RBI announced and not a complete record of its press releases.
60 most recent of 464 monetary penalties imposed by RBI, the oldest held dating from Jan 02, 2025. Rebuilt from RBI's own press releases on every site update, newest first. Each entry names the entity, the amount and the rules involved, with a link to the official press release.
