Kotak Mahindra Bank actively working to address RBI's concerns: CEO
A day after the severe action by the RBI, Kotak Mahindra Bank's chief executive and managing director Ashok Vaswani on Thursday said the lender is "actively working" to address the concerns raised by the regulator.
The private sector lender is in constant communication with the RBI to resolve any issues, he said in a statement posted on Kotak Mahindra Bank's social media handles.

"We are actively working to address the concerns raised and are in constant communication with the regulator to resolve any issues promptly," he said.
Immediately after the RBI action, the bank had on Wednesday said it has taken measures for the adoption of new technologies to strengthen its IT systems and will continue to work with the apex bank to swiftly resolve balance issues at the earliest.
