RBI fined Dhani Loans for asset classification violation — RBI's penalty on Dhani

Continuing its strict regulatory compliance, the Reserve Bank of India has imposed a monetary penalty of ₹2.70 lakh on Dhani Loans and Services Limited. This action was taken under the order dated July 15, 2026, and the case pertains to the company's failure to classify certain loan accounts as non-performing assets.

Highlights

RBI imposed a monetary penalty on Dhani Loans under the RBI Act, 1934 for violating 'Asset Classification' guidelines.
After statutory inspection of the financial position as of March 31, 2025, the company was issued a show cause notice for failure in NPA classification.
RBI clarified that the penalty is due to deficiencies in regulatory compliance and that additional supervisory or enforcement actions may be possible in the future.

Inspection, Notice, and Basis for Penalty

According to the Reserve Bank of India's press release, this penalty has been imposed by exercising powers under Section 58G(1)(b) and Section 58B(5)(aa) of the RBI Act, 1934. The central bank stated that the company did not comply with some of its 'Asset Classification' related instructions, leading to this action.

The RBI conducted a statutory inspection of the company with reference to its financial position as of March 31, 2025. After supervisory findings revealed compliance deficiencies, the company was issued a show cause notice asking why a penalty should not be imposed for non-compliance.

After considering the company's response and additional submissions, the RBI found the charges against it to be substantiated. According to the regulator, the company failed to classify certain loan accounts as non-performing assets (NPA).

Regulatory Impact and Future Scope

The RBI clarified that this action is based on deficiencies in regulatory compliance. The central bank also stated that the penalty is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement between the company and its customers.

The regulator further stated that this monetary penalty does not preclude any other action that the RBI may take in the future. This indicates that the central bank may take additional supervisory or enforcement steps in compliance-related matters.

Our previous report detailed the compounding order issued by the RBI to Apothecon Pharmaceuticals Private Limited for FEMA violations related to foreign investment, which included conditions for settling delays in reporting such as Form ARF, FCGPR, FLA Return, and procedural lapses, indicating that further investigation/action in these matters would cease upon fulfillment of these conditions.
