It has imposed a monetary penalty of Sri Lankan rupees (LKR) two million, which is approximately Rs 5.8 lakh, Indian Bank informed the stock exchange on Monday.

In Sri Lanka, Indian Bank is operating with two branches in Colombo and Jaffna. “The bank and its branches in Sri Lanka have taken necessary preventive actions to avoid such recurrence in future,” the bank further said.
