The banks were fined 553 million rubles for delaying responses to mass requests from the Federal Tax Service regarding accounts of Russians.
The Federal Tax Service has significantly increased the scope of inspections of banking transactions and transfers of people. According to the current legislation, the credit institutions are obliged to provide cash flow certificates within three working days. Violation of this deadline entails a fine of 20,000 rubles for each late application.
Due to the increased workload, the banks cannot cope with the flow of requests: at the end of eight months, the total amount of accumulated fines reached 553 million rubles.
