Loan Inspection for Reliance Communications
The Union Bank of India has initiated an inspection of a loan sanctioned to Reliance Communications (RCom). Recent reports revealed that the bank is examining RCom for potential fraudulent practices. The bank is also requesting a response from the company.

Overall, the Union Bank of India’s decision to waive processing charges for home loans and vehicle loans provides relief to new customers. Additionally, their record dividend payout and examination of loans granted to Reliance Communications demonstrate the bank’s commitment to addressing financial matters efficiently.
