The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) says the Maharashtra registrar of cooperative societies (RCS) has appointed a liquidator for winding up affairs of Pune-based Rupee Co-operative Bank Ltd (Rupee Bank). This follows the dismissal of an appeal filed by Rupee Bank before the appellate authority (AA) of the RBI.
On August 10, the RBI had cancelled the licence of Rupee Co-operative Bank Ltd as the lender did not have adequate capital and earning prospects. However, the RBI said that in compliance to an order of the High Court of Bombay, its direction will become effective after six weeks i.e, from August 10 onwards.
