Mumbai , Sept. 14

THE Reserve Bank of India has cancelled the banking licence of the Mumbai-based Samasta Nagar Co-operative Bank due to the bank's deteriorated financial health.

A spokesperson for the central bank confirmed the development and said the regulator had cancelled the licence of the co-operative bank on account of the bank's accumulated losses to the tune of Rs 9 crore.

The bank, which has four branches in Mumbai, has a deposit base of Rs 30 crore.

In August, the regulator had imposed restrictions on the business dealings of South Indian Co-operative Bank and Maratha Mandir Co-operative Bank, following a run on the deposits of both banks after reports of their weak financial condition.
