RBI record

Every RBI press release since 1 Jan 2024 that names Ujjivan 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 ₹6.70 lakh

    RBI's reason: “for non-compliance with certain directions issued by RBI on ‘Loans and Advances - Statutory and Other Restrictions’”

    What RBI found

    “The bank failed to issue loan agreements to certain borrowers at the time of sanction / disbursement of loans.”

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

Agency rationale

Note: Earlier versions of this page attributed AA- to CRISIL. CRISIL rates only Ujjivan's short-term certificates of deposit; the AA- on deposits is from CARE.

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.
