What happened

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has placed The Citizens Co-operative Bank Ltd., Jammu under strict restrictions from August 27, 2026. Depositors can withdraw only up to ₹1,25,000 from their accounts. The bank cannot accept new deposits, give loans, or make payments without RBI's written permission.

Why it matters

RBI took this step because the bank was not addressing serious regulatory concerns and depositor safety was at risk. The RBI had been engaging with the bank's management for improvements but saw no concrete action. This is a protective measure — the bank's licence has not been cancelled and it continues to function under restrictions.

What to check

  • →Check your total deposit balance in this bank and compare it to the ₹1,25,000 withdrawal limit currently allowed.
  • →Find out if your total deposits across all your accounts in this bank exceed ₹5,00,000, as insurance covers only up to that amount.
  • →Ask the bank officials about how to submit your willingness to claim deposit insurance from DICGC (Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation — a government body that protects your savings).
  • →Look at the DICGC website www.dicgc.org.in for details on how and when you can claim your insured deposit amount.
  • →Consider visiting the bank's branch or website to read the full RBI Direction notice displayed there for latest updates.
