Financial companies face RBI wrath over KYC violations

Some of the recent instances include restrictions on business payment solutions providers (BPSPS, typically fintech companies) and, most recently, on Paytm Payments Bank. Even in October, RBI had fined the payments bank ₹5.39 crore for noncompliance with some provisions of KYC guidelines, cybersecurity framework, etc.

Others have not been spared either. Through the past year, the regulator has pulled up larger lenders like Axis Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, apart from a clutch of cooperative banks.
