RBI record

Every RBI press release since 1 Jan 2024 that names Jana Small Finance Bank, newest first, each linked to RBI. Checked every week; last on 11 Nov 2026.

A monetary penalty is a fine for not following an RBI rule. On its own it does not stop the bank taking or repaying deposits; RBI does that through directions, which are listed here when they apply.

  1. RBI fined the bank ₹1.00 crore

    RBI's reason: “for contravention of provision of Section 12B(5) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (BR Act)”

    What RBI found

    “The bank issued / allotted CCPS to certain persons, which taken along with equity share capital held by them, made such persons to hold more than permitted percentage of the paid-up share capital of the bank. It was not ensured that such persons have obtained previous approval of RBI as required under Section 12B(1) of the BR Act.”

    RBI says: “This action is based on deficiencies in statutory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers.”

Note: Earlier versions of this page showed BBB+ (CRISIL). The ratings we could match to published documents are A from India Ratings (on watch negative) and CARE. As of 28 Oct 2026 we found no India Ratings action after the 30 Jun 2026 watch, so it is shown as outstanding.

How to read these ratings
  • Scale: AAA is the highest long-term grade (lowest credit risk), then AA (very low risk), A (low risk) and BBB (moderate risk, the lowest investment grade). A + or − moves a grade up or down a notch. Short-term ratings such as A1+ cover obligations of up to a year.
  • Outlook: Stable, Positive or Negative is the agency's view of where the rating is likely to go over the next one to two years. Rating watch means the agency is reviewing the rating after a specific event, such as a change of owner.
  • Instrument: a rating belongs to a specific instrument, not to the whole bank. Tier I (AT1) and Tier II bonds can be written down if the RBI declares a bank non-viable, so they are usually rated no higher than the bank's deposits.
  • Headline grade: we use the rating on fixed deposits where an agency gives one; otherwise the issuer or Tier II rating. We take each agency's latest rating and show the lowest, so the headline is never more generous than any agency's latest view.
  • A rating is an opinion about the ability to repay on time. It is not a guarantee or a recommendation. Whatever the rating, deposits in a bank are insured by DICGC up to ₹5 lakh per depositor per bank (principal and interest together).

Sources: we list a rating only when we can point to the document that states it: the agency's own rating rationale, the bank's Regulation 30 filing on the NSE or BSE, a rating letter, or the bank's own rating page. A weekly automated check re-opens each linked document to confirm it still shows the grade and scans stock-exchange announcements for new rating filings. Last checked: 9 Nov 2026.
