The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a monetary penalty of ₹2.70 lakh on Progfin Private Limited for failing to comply with Reserve Bank of India (Know Your Customer (KYC)) Directions. This penalty was imposed on August 19, 2026, in accordance with the powers conferred by the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, sections 58(G)(1)(b) and 58(B)(5)(aa).
The RBI conducted a statutory inspection of the company's financial position as of March 31, 2025, and found non-compliance with the stated directions. Following the inspection, a notice was issued to Progfin, requesting it to explain why the penalty should not be imposed for the failure to comply with the RBI guidelines. After reviewing the company's response and oral submissions during a personal hearing, the RBI concluded that Progfin had failed to establish a system for periodic review of risk categorisation of accounts at least once every six months.
This action is based on regulatory compliance deficiencies and does not evaluate the validity of any transactions or agreements the company has with its customers. The RBI emphasized that the penalty is without prejudice to any other potential legal actions it may pursue against Progfin.
