with provisions of directions on ‘non-banking financial company – housing finance company.’
The central bank imposed a penalty of Rs 5 lakhs on

After oral submissions and personal hearings, RBI had sustained the monetary penalty, “The company failed to obtain two independent valuation reports before sanctioning certain loans of ₹75 lakh and above”
Aadhar Housing Finance Ltd was fined because the company charged interest on loans for a period prior to the date of actual disbursement of loan cheque to certain borrowers violating

RBI directions

of ‘Fair Practices Code’.
The RBI added that penalties are based on faults in regulatory compliance and not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement made by the housing corporations.
