Explanation:
Urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs) in India are regulated and supervised by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) under the provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, after an amendment in 1966. They are not supervised by local boards set up by State Governments. UCBs have the authority to issue equity shares and raise share capital from individuals within their area of operation.
