RBI penalises Deutsche Bank, YES Bank for breaching compliance norms
Mumbai
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed monetary penalties on Deutsche Bank and YES Bank for non-compliance with specific regulatory directions.
A penalty of ₹50 lakh was levied on Deutsche Bank for violating RBI directives on the 'Creation of a Central Repository of Large Common Exposures – Across Banks' and the 'Central Repository of Information on Large Credits (CRILC) – Revision in Reporting'. The bank failed to report credit information of certain borrowers to the CRILC.
These deficiencies were observed during the Statutory Inspection for Supervisory Evaluation (SE) with reference to the bank's financial position as on 31 March 2024.
Separately, YES Bank was fined ₹29.60 lakh for non-compliance with the RBI's directions on 'Financial Statements – Presentation and Disclosures'. The bank did not disclose correct and complete information about customer complaints in its annual financial statements for FY24.
The RBI clarified that these actions are based solely on deficiencies in regulatory compliance and are not intended to question the validity of any transactions or agreements entered into by the banks with their customers.
The penalties are without prejudice to any other regulatory or supervisory action that the RBI may initiate in future.

India needs to be careful, clever while negotiating trade pact with US: Raghuram Rajan
India needs to be 'very careful and clever' while negotiating trade agreements with the U.S., especially with regard to the agriculture sector, which is heavily subsidised by developed countries, former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan said on Friday (July 18, 2025). In an interview with PTI Videos, Mr. Rajan said India's economic growth has sort of settled in the range of 6-7%, and a fraction of percentage point may be affected by the global trade uncertainties. "I think where it is much more sort of difficult (trade negotiations) is in areas such as agriculture, where every country subsidises its producers, and our producers may be relatively smaller, may have somewhat lower flow of agricultural products into the country may create problems for them," he said. Earlier this week, the Indian team was in Washington for the fifth round of negotiations for the proposed Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA). "For example, can we encourage more foreign direct investments from those countries (developed countries) to enhance the value added in some of those sectors, the milk for example, sort of improving the value added in our milk products, milk powder, cheese, etc, could be beneficial to our milk producers," the eminent economist noted. U.S. President Donald Trump has said that the proposed trade deal with India would be on the lines of what America has finalised with Indonesia. Giving access in the agriculture sector is proving to be a political issue for the government. "Are there things we can do, rather than necessarily saying we welcome sort of more milk into the country from other countries. "So all this requires very careful, clever negotiation, and I hope that is what our government officials are engaged in," Mr. Rajan, currently a professor of finance at Chicago Booth, said. India has hardened its position on the U.S. demand for duty concessions on agricultural and dairy products. New Delhi has, so far, not given any duty concessions to any of its trading partners in a free trade agreement in the dairy sector. Noting that the trade tensions are negative for both in terms of exports as well as investment, Rajan said, "But you must remember that there are opportunities also in what is happening to the extent that India is perceived as an alternative route to some of the other regions like the United States." According to him, if the tariffs imposed by the US on China and some other parts of Asia are much higher than tariffs on India, there may be an opportunity for some manufacturing to flow to India. While pointing out that Indian exports in manufacturing to the United States are not that big, he said any kind of tariffs (on India) will have some modest dampening effect, but not a lot. Mr. Rajan said that India's economic growth has sort of settled at a 6-7 per cent range, a fraction of percentage point maybe affected by the global sort of tariff environment. "But in the longer term, this would spell opportunity for India," he added. Trump announced heavy tariffs on a number of countries, including India, on April 2. However, it was soon postponed for 90 days until July 9 and later to August 1. India is seeking the removal of an additional tariff (26%). It is also seeking the easing of tariffs on steel and aluminium (50%) and auto (25%) sectors. As far as tariffs go, Mr. Rajan said he thinks there are certain areas where India has become more protectionist, and added, "certainly we can reverse that protectionism". He said that there are areas where India has been historically protectionist, and bringing down the level of tariffs, increasing competition in those sectors can be quite beneficial. "For example, in car manufacturing, we have some advantages. We produce certain kinds of cars very well, and bringing competition in the automobile sector can actually be quite beneficial," Mr. Rajan observed.
