RBI restricts Kotak Mahindra Bank over IT failures, halting new customer sign-ups and credit card issuance. Despite reminders, issues remained unsolved. Kotak vows uninterrupted service and audit review. This follows RBI's crackdown on non-compliance by other entities. An external audit and remediation plan aims to lift restrictions.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has taken strict measures against Kotak Mahindra Bank, prohibiting the bank from enrolling new customers and issuing fresh credit cards due to persistent IT system failures. This marks one of the toughest actions imposed on a scheduled bank, underlining the gravity of the situation.
Despite repeated reminders over the past two years, Kotak Mahindra Bank has failed to address serious deficiencies in its IT systems, prompting RBI to impose these stringent restrictions. The regulator cited "serious deficiencies and non-compliances" in a statement, indicating the severity of the situation.

Kotak Mahindra Bank, however, reassures its existing customers, emphasising that services, including credit card, mobile, and net banking, will remain uninterrupted. The bank pledges to swiftly resolve the matter, indicating its commitment to customer satisfaction amidst regulatory challenges.
RBI's action against Kotak Mahindra Bank is part of a broader crackdown on non-compliant entities in the banking and financial sector. Recent bans on Paytm Payments Bank and other institutions underscore the regulator's commitment to maintaining stability and integrity in the financial system.
To lift the restrictions, Kotak Mahindra Bank will undergo a comprehensive external audit, with the regulator's approval. The bank must address all deficiencies highlighted in the audit report and demonstrate compliance with RBI's directives. The timeline for resolution remains uncertain, pending the completion of the audit and remediation process.
As Kotak Mahindra Bank navigates through these challenges, it must also seize opportunities for improvement and innovation in its IT infrastructure and risk management framework. The bank's ability to address regulatory concerns swiftly and effectively will determine its resilience and competitiveness in the digital banking landscape.
