Kotak Mahindra Bank's share price declined sharply and fell 10% on Thursday, 25 April 2024, after RBI’s punitive actions against it. The Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday directed Kotak Mahindra Bank to stop onboarding new customers through its online and mobile banking channels and barred it from issuing fresh credit cards with immediate effect.
RBI has barred the private sector bank Kotak from new issuance due to deficiencies in the Bank’s IT system in 2022 and 2023.
Kotak Mahindra Bank’s management believes that these directions by RBI will not materially impact its overall business.
