“Considering the bank’s liquidity position, no amount from the total balance across all savings bank or current accounts or any other account of a depositor, may be allowed to be withdrawn, but are allowed to set off loans against deposits subject to the conditions stated in the above RBI Directions,” a RBI statement said.

RBI has placed restrictions on deposit withdrawals under the Directions.
Depositors will be allowed to withdraw not more than ₹10,000 of the total balance across all savings bank or current accounts or any other account, subject to the conditions stated in the Directions.
Under the Directions, these UCBs cannot, without prior approval of RBI, grant or renew any loans and advances, make any investment, incur any liability, including borrowal of funds and acceptance of fresh deposits, among others.
The central bank said the issue of the above Directions should not per se be construed as cancellation of banking licence.
The UCBs will continue to undertake banking business with restrictions till their financial position improves.
The Reserve Bank may consider modifications of the Directions depending upon circumstances.
