DCB Bank receives RBI Ombudsman order for ₹31 lakh, plans to appeal
The financial impact of ₹31 lakh (₹30 lakh reversal + ₹1 lakh compensation) is minor for a bank of this scale. However, it highlights operational lapses and deficiencies in services, which could have a minor reputational impact.
The bank received an order from the Reserve Bank Integrated Ombudsman directing it to reverse ₹30 lakh and pay ₹1 lakh compensation due to identified deficiencies in services and operational lapses.
DCB Bank Limited announced on September 17, 2025, that it has received an order from the office of the Reserve Bank Integrated Ombudsman at Bhubaneswar. The order, passed on September 16, 2025, directs the Bank to: * Reverse an amount of ₹30,00,000/- (Rupees Thirty Lakhs) to a complainant’s loan account. * Pay ₹1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh) as compensation for mental agony and harassment arising out of deficiency in services.
The Ombudsman concluded that the Bank failed to reconcile glaring contradictions and its omissions to submit a credible investigation report, reflecting gross operational lapses and serious deficiencies in internal control and compliance mechanisms. DCB Bank is currently in the process of exploring filing an appeal against this order.
