The bank had breached the minimum net worth requirement for two quarters in the financial year 2019-20, the RBI said in a statement.

However, Subhadra Local Area Bank has enough liquidity to pay all its depositors, it added.
"Public interest would be adversely affected if it is allowed to continue to do the business in the manner in which it is functioning", the RBI said, adding that the general character of the management is considered prejudicial to the interest of the present and future depositors.
