Service Regulations | Acting Beyond Authority in SHG Loan Sanction Constitutes Misconduct Even Without Personal Gain : Madras HC
The Madras High Court has ruled that a bank officer’s violation of Self Help Group lending norms, even without evidence of personal enrichment, amounts to misconduct under service regulations. This sets a critical precedent for disciplinary proceedings in public sector banks, reinforcing that procedural integrity and adherence to lending guidelines are non-negotiable duties, not optional best practices.
