He noted that 42 urban cooperative banks fall under the Mumbai division and 43 under the Pune division, and none have reported issues related to digital transactions or credit card grievances.
On reports of a 42% rise in complaints to the Reserve Bank of India, the Minister said information is being sought from the RBI.
