Tamilnad Mercantile Bank has clarified that a recent media report regarding a ₹1.31 crore penalty imposed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is inaccurate. The bank confirmed that while a penalty was indeed imposed on March 19, 2024, it has not received any new correspondence from the RBI on the matter. The bank emphasizes that the reported details about its background and capitalization were also incorrect.
