Mr. John a reputed customer alleges that the Bank has wrongfully debited his account with Rs. 50000/-, without
his mandate. On scrutiny you find that his son had cleverly forged his signature and withdrawn the money from
the account. The Bank has sent statement of account for the past 6 months in time. Discuss the Bank's position.
A forged cheque is no mandate from the customer. The Bank is obliged to refund the money to the customer.
 However if it can establish contributory negligence/connivance on the part of the customer which has resulted
in the forgery, it can refute the claim of the customer
As per Indian law, there is no duty cast on the customer to scrutinise the statement of account; He can

question a wrong debit at any time when he finds it in the account.

would you proceed in the matter as a Branch Manager?

Mr. 'Arjun' presents a cheque for payment. But he does not turn up for getting payment. Next day, he calls on
the bank and explains that he felt uneasy and had to rush for medical attention. Bank is satisfied about the
reasons given by Mr. Arjun and agrees to effect payment. Before the payment is made, the bank receives stop
payment instructions followed by a Garnishee Order on the account. Mr. 'Arjun' contends that the cheque was
presented on the previous day and hence it should be paid. Discuss.
If payment is not made on same day, On the next day it is treated as a fresh entry and this has no relevance to

the previous day's transactions.
Thus the bank has to accede to the stop payment instructions received from the account holder. Also, the

garnishee order will be given effect to.
Mr. X has opened a current account in your branch on 01.01.2017. He got a cheque bearing date 18.12.2016
(sunday) and you have received the same clearing on 17.01.2017. Now, will you pay the cheque?
A cheque is valid even if it is ante-dated (i.e. before date of opening of account) at the time of issue. Hence the

cheque can be paid if otherwise in order.
Mr. Sunil has a gold loan of Rs.500000/- in Down Town branch. His wife comes to the branch and tells that Mr.
Sunil is missing for the past five years. As the outstanding in the gold loan account at present is only Rs.10,000/-
she wants to close the loan account on the condition that the jewels have to be delivered to her. The branch
manager directs her to meet the Accountant of the branch. The accountant accedes to her request and delivers
the ornaments to Mrs. Sunil. Discuss.
 The Bank will be liable to Sunil, if he turns up after the ornaments are delivered to his wife.
She (Wife) may be permitted to close the gold account, subject to obtaining an undertaking from her to the
 effect that she will not claim the gold ornaments and also the amount remitted towards closure of the gold loan
account in future.
Manoj, whose actual age is 15 years, misrepresents his age as 19 and avails an overdraft from the Bank. The
Accountant of the branch sanctions an overdraft by including Chandru as a guarantor who is a major. After
some time the account becomes irregular. The branch approaches Manoj to regularize/close the account. By this
time he actually becomes a major. But Manoj refuses to regularize/close the account. Therefore the branch
explores the possibility of invoking the guarantee given by Chandru.
 Bank will not be able to recover the over dues.
 The undertaking given by Manoj on attaining majority at the time of availing Overdraft has no consideration
A Bank sanctioned a term loan to Mr. X guaranteed by Mr.Y. The Bank came to know that the borrower is not
in a position to pay the instalments and therefore it re-phased the term loan instalments. This was not informed
to the guarantor. After a few months Mr. Y approached the Bank and informed that the financial position of Mr.
X is bad. The Bank recalls the term loan by issuing notices to Mr. X and Mr. Y. Is Mr. Y liable as a guarantor?
Re-phasement of term loan is a material change in the contract. It requires the consent of the guarantor under

Section-133 of Indian Contract Act.
 As the consent of the guarantor is not obtained, therefore Mr. Y is not liable.
A partnership firm was sanctioned a cash credit limit of Rs.20 lacs on 02/05/2016. The documents were signed by
partner A on 02/05/2016. But partner B signed the documents on 08/06/2016. Discuss the legal implications.
It is preferable that the documents are executed by all the partners/guarantors on the same day. However,
 Where it is not possible, the documents may be executed on two or more different dates. Each signatory
should put the date on which he executed the documents.
The document should be treated as executed on 02.05.2016 and the limitation would commence from

02.05.2016.
 The personal liability will commence from the date of signature of each partner.
Mr. Arvind and Mrs. Anuradha have safe deposit locker with mode of operation E or S. Arind telephones the
Bank and tells that the locker key is lost and Mrs. Anuradha has become insane. At this point of time Mrs.
Anuradha comes to the Bank to operate the locker. How will you handle the situation?
There may be possible dispute between them. It is preferable to persuade them to close the locker in view of

the disagreement between them.
Your customer Mr.Arvind Kumar Patel draws a cheque for Rs.50,000 in favour of Y and writes to the bank not
to pay the cheque because he has intentionally signed as Arvind Kumar Patel, whereas his specimen signatures
are “A.K. Patel”. This letter was received by the bank after it has already paid the cheque. Shri Patel claims the
amount from the bank on the plea that his signature on the cheque does not tally with the bank‟s record. Hence,
the pay is wrong.
The general proposition that the bank need not pay the cheques signed by the customer in a different mode

than the specimen provided by him is well established.
Can the bank pay a cheque signed by the account holder himself in a different mode than the specimen

furnished by him? The answer is “Yes” as it is a valid mandate to pay.
In fact, in the instant case, he has advised that he himself had signed as Arvind Kumar Patel and not A.K.
Patel, as provided in the specimen. Hence, there is no dispute that the signature has been put on the cheque by

the customer. The cheque has been paid in due course and hence it is binding on the customer. He cannot now
contend that the signature varies from that on record.
 Practically : The cheque should have been returned with the reason “Signature differs”.

Discuss the position of the paying banker in following case:-
(a) An uncrossed order cheque for Rs. 12000/- is presented on the counter for cash payment. The cheque is in
order in all respects including the signature of the drawer and there is adequate balance in the drawer’s account.
(b) S.B account holder draws a cheque for Rs.500/- in favour of Shruti, his daughter aged 13 years. When Shruti
presents the cheque for payment across the counter, the Single Window Operator refuses to pay the cheque
because in his view, Shruti being a minor cannot receive payment of a cheque. How will you handle the situation?
(a) As per Section 85 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 where a cheque payable to order purports to be
 endorsed by or on behalf of the payee, the drawee is discharged by payment in due course. Proper care has
been taken to ensure that the payment has been made to the person entitled to receive the payment.
(b) In terms of Section 26 of N.I.Act a minor can draw, endorse, deliver and negotiate any negotiable
 instrument so as to bind all parties to the instrument except himself / herself. As such a minor can become a
payee of cheque without any legal impediment. Hence payment of cheque can be made to Shruti.
Mr. Anupam is maintaining an account with your branch. An amount of Rs. 25,000/- was credited to his account
of by mistake. Mr. Anupam took advantage of the situation and utilised this money after withdrawing. Your
branch detected the mistake after a lapse of three months. Your branch has claimed interest on the said amount
for three months from Mr. Anupam. Is the account holder (Mr. Anupam) bound to pay interest to the bank as
claimed?
Anupam has to repay to the bank the amount of Rs. 25,000/- credited to his account by mistake, in terms of
Section 72 of Indian Contract Act. The beneficiary, Mr. Anupam, will become a constructive trustee of bank‟s

money. In terms of Section 4 (2) (b) of Interest Act 1987 and Section 34 (1) of Civil Procedure Code, interest
has to be paid by Mr. Anupam, more so because he knew of the wrong credit and utilised the amount.
Mr Raj approaches your branch at 4.45 p.m. after the general banking hours with a cheque of Rs 5000/- issued in
his favour by one of your account holder. He informs you of the urgency of getting the cheque enchased and
conveys regrets for the inconvenience and for coming after the banking hours. How will you handle?

There is a joint current account in the name of Akbar & Birbal on E or S basis. A cheque for Rs. 3 Lacs was
presented by Akbar at 2:30 pm. Thereafter he went to the BM's cabin for some discussion. The working hours of
the Bank is only up to 4.00 pm. The bank paid the cheque at 4.45 pm. On the same day Mr. Birbal comes to the
bank with a letter to stop the payment of the said cheque which was withdrawn by Mr. Akbar. He also says that
the bank paid the cheque after the business hours and therefore he will sue for damages. The stop payment
instruction was given by Mr. Birbal at 5:00 pm. Discuss the bank's position.
As per Section 65 of the NI Act, payment of a cheque presented for payment after the banking hours is not a
 payment in due course. However, in this case, Mr. Akbar presented it within the banking hours and the cheque
was paid in due course. Hence, it is a payment in due course.
The Bank cannot accede to the stop instruction given by Birbal. In the present case, the Cheque was presented

within the working hours.
Mr. X maintaining, a satisfactory Current account issues a cheque for Rs 10,000/- in favour of his supplier Mr. Y
who endorsed it In favour of Mr. Z who takes it for value. Mr.Z deposits the cheque in his bank for collection.
The cheque is presented in clearing at your branch but due to oversight the cheque is wrongfully dishonored.
Your branch receives a notice from Mr. Z for wrongful dishonour and demands payment and also claims
damages. How will you handle the notice?
In case of wrongful dishonor of a cheque, the drawee banker is liable for damages to the drawer only. Hence

claim of Mr. Z is not acceded to.
Mr. H maintaining a Current account with your branch issues a cheque in favour of his supplier. The cheque is
presented in the clearing and since the cheque was in order and there was sufficient balance the same was passed
by your branch. He now requests you to return the instrument to him. How will you act on his request?
As per Section-45Z of Banking Regulation Act, paid instruments are customer's property and he has every

right to get the same. But as per sec-45Y of BR Act, bank has rights to have copy of the same for its record.
You have received a notice from an advocate that you should not pay any cheques in the account of Akbar in
your books. He has stated that the employer of Akbar is his client and that the employer has filed a criminal
complaint of embezzlement against Akbar. How would you act?
 The contractual banker-customer relationship is of paramount importance.

 Only a valid court order prohibiting payment/attaching the balance in the account will be binding on the Bank.
The advocate has to be advised accordingly. Meantime, the Bank has to honour any cheques issued by the

customer.
An open cheque for Rs. 1,00,000/- issued by 'A' on his account was presented by B, the payee. As the balance was
only Rs. 99,900/- the cheque could not be paid. 'B' suggested that he would remit Rs. 200/- into the account to
enable the Bank to pay the cheque. Discuss.
It is not in order to accept credit into the account of a customer from unauthorised persons; it will lead to

income tax problems for the account holder.
In the instant case, if the exact amount of Rs.200/- is accepted, 'A' may allege that the position of the

account was revealed to a third party, thereby violating bank's duty of secrecy.
An advocate - customer of yours refuses to sign at the back of a bearer cheque tendered by him for encashment.
How will you deal with the case?
The Bank cannot legally insist on a signature by the payee/endorsee of bearer cheque at the time of

encashment as there is no such requirement under NI Act. A Bearer cheque is payable on presentation.
But this well-established practice of getting the signature is adopted to readily find out the recipient of the
 cash, if a need arises, for any investigation. In case he is not convinced of this argument, the advocate may be
requested to give a stamped receipt on a separate paper for the money received by him.
Mrs. Sangeeta maintains a Savings bank account in your bank. One day a well dressed gentleman comes to your
branch with a pass book of Mrs. Sangeeta and said that she is his wife and he wants to know the balance of the
pass-book. What will be your course of action?
A customer's account details have to be kept confidential by the bank. Otherwise, the bank will be liable to the
customer for breach of secrecy. The details can be revealed to the husband, only if he is known agent of his
wife It is therefore necessary to confirm with her over phone that it is in order for the bank to update the

passbook and hand it over to her husband after establishing his identity as husband of the customer.
As he has come with the pass-book we can reasonably presume that he has been authorised by the customer
to have the transactions done i.e to have the pass-book completed
On verification of the bank account X notes that a Cheque for Rs. 18,900/- was paid. He claims that he has not
issued such a cheque but a cheque for Rs. 1890/- was issued by him. On scrutiny, it is observed that the amount
has been altered as Rs. 18,900/-. Discuss
 As per sec-89 of NI Act, If the alteration could not be detected with reasonable care, the bank is not liable.
Mr. Sahu handed over Rs. 25,000 to the Branch Manager for issue of a Term Deposit. The Branch Manager
issued the receipt under his seal but after forging on it the signature of the Accountant. He misappropriated the
amount. On the due date when Mr. Sahu approached the branch for payment, he was advised that as the receipt
had been forged and as no entries had been found in the books of the Bank, the bank was not liable on it.
Under the law governing Master & Servant (i.e. Employer & Employee), if a fraud is committed by the
employee in the course of his master's business and if the employee acts within his actual or ostensible
 power/authority, then the Master is liable for damages vicariously.
In the instant case the Branch Manager has obviously acted within his capacity in accepting the deposit.
Hence the Bank is liable for the fraudulent act of the Manager provided Mr. Sahu is not a party to it.

You are a Branch Manager of a Single Man Branch. You are near to achieve your deposit target of Rs. 1.50
Crore in the current F.Y. but still has to bring deposit of Rs. 2.00 Lacs and only one day is left in the current
financial year. Mrs. Amna, a Mohamedan pardanashin lady, approaches you to open a Term deposit a/c in her
minor son's name for Rs. 2.00 Lacs. Her husband is in America. Will you open the a/c? How will you help her?
As a matter of rule a minor account can be opened only by the natural guardian. Mother is not a natural
 guardian in the case of a Mohammedan minor. Father and after his death the person named by the father in his
Will will be the natural guardian. Hence, Mrs.Amna cannot open an a/c jointly with her minor child .
 TDR a/c (without guardian) in the name of the minor (singly) may be opened upto the ceiling of Rs. 2 Lacs.
ABC & Co is a partnership firm with ABC as partners. An income tax attachment order is received attaching a
sum of Rs.75, 000/-. The balance in the account is Rs.7500/- (credit) and the balance in the individual accounts of
the partners is as given below. A- Rs. 40000/- B- Rs.30000/- C-Rs. 15000/-. How will you act?
When the I.T attachment order is received, the amount of Rs.7500 available in the firm's account will be

attached first.
The balance amount should be recovered in equal proportions from the partners' personal accounts (i.e.

Rs.22,500 each). But C has only Rs. 15,000 in his account. It will be attached.
 The shortfall of Rs. 7,500 will be recovered in equal proportions from A and B.
How will you deal with the situation? Give reasons.
Following cheques have been presented for cash payment at the counter.
a) A Cheque for Rs.6,000 payable to Ashok or order marked "A/c Payee" WITHOUT two transverse lines, i. e.
crossing.
b) A cheque for Rs.5000 payable to Sunil or order bearing the words "Not Negotiable" WITHOUT two parallel
transverse lines across the cheque.
c) A crossed A/c payee cheque with "Not Negotiable" words, payable to Amul or Order is presented by ABC Co-
op Bank across the counter for cash payment with a certificate "Payees a/c will be credited on realisation"
a) Two transverse lines are essential to constitute a crossing. In terms of NI Act, the cheque is not a crossed
cheque as two transverse lines have not been put. However, in view of the fact the words "A/c Payee" has

been written, it will be safer to persuade the payee to credit it to his account. However, if the payee insists, the
cheque can be paid in cash on strict identification.
b) Writing of the words "Not Negotiable" without two transverse lines does not constitute a crossing; hence
 the cheque can be paid in cash after identification of the payee. The effect of a Not Negotiable crossing is that
the endorsee(s) would not get a better title than the transferor.
c) In terms of S 126 of NI ACT, payment of a crossed cheque should be made only to a bank. It can be paid to

a bank by credit to its account or across the counter. Hence, it is in order to pay cash to the bank.
Mr. Santkumar is having a saving bank account with your branch with Shri Hemkumar as nominee. Legal heirs
of Shri Santkumar approach your branch with death certificate and also succession certificate. How will you
handle the situation?
Legal heirs will be asked to bring injunction order from the court restraining the bank from making payment

to the nominee failing which balance will be released to the nominee.
Succession certificate is not the order of the court establishing the supremacy of the legal heirs over the

nominee.
Further, nominee after receiving the payment will give the valid discharge to the bank but he will not become
 the absolute owner of the money. Legal heirs on the basis of succession certificate can claim from the
nominee their share through court.
Your customer Mr. Vaibhav is maintaining a Current Account with your branch having a credit balance of Rs.
25,000/-. A credit remittance of Rs. 15,000/- is received from Mr. Sulabh for credit in the account of Mr. vaibhav.
Next day, Mr. Sulabh informs that money was erroneously remitted and it should be returned back to him. Bank
has credited the money to the beneficiary’s (Vaibhav’s) account and has been informed about the credit. Discuss
the position of the bank.
As the customer (Vaibhav) has been informed about the credit, the bank cannot reverse the entry because the
 customer has become the owner of the money. Mr. Sulabh will be advised to take up the matter directly with
Mr. Vaibhav.
Mr. N.C.Sodha a valuable client of your branch having sizeable deposits and has extended a great support to the
branch in bringing high value customers and business to branch portfolio. He requests you to send an adverse
opinion about him to Yes Bank who has been persuading him to stand guarantee for credit facility proposed to be
granted to his close relative for which he is not willing. How will you deal with the request of Mr. Sodha?
Bankers seek and give opinions about their customers, their financial status, dealing with bank etc., in good
 faith to help each other do business with credible individuals. As such, we will handle Mr. Sodha tactfully and
express bank’s constraints in furnishing incorrect information.
Mr. Naveen, the payee of a draft payable at your branch, reports that the draft has been lost and requests that its
payment be stopped. The same day the draft is presented in clearing by ABC Bank. The draft is purportedly
endorsed by the payee and the collecting banker has guaranteed the endorsement. What will you do?
Draft is a negotiable instrument and the bank is bound to pay it when presented by a bonafide holder, provided

it is otherwise in order.
Since the collecting banker has also guaranteed the 1st payees endorsement, the paying bank is protected

under Sec. 85A of N.I. Act and is discharged by making payment in due course to ABC Bank.
It will be legally in order for the bank not to accede to the request of Mr. Naveen, however, it would be

prudent and more practical to get in touch with ABC Bank and clarify the position.

Mr. A owes a certain amount of money to Mr. B. Since he does not know the exact amount, he draws a blank
cheque in favour of Mr. B and delivers it to him in good faith. Mr. B fills in an amount in excess of the dues
payable by Mr. A and endorses the cheque to Mr. C for full payment of the amount due from him. The cheque is
dishonoured. What recourse do Mr. B and Mr. C have?
The rights of B and C have to be examined in terms of the provisions contained in Sec. 44 of N.I. Act which

deals with the consequence of partial absence of consideration.
Since B has filled in an amount in excess of what was actually due from A, B is entitled to recover from A

only the amount due and not the amount filled in the cheque.
 The right of C, who is a holder for value, is not affected and he can claim the full amount of cheque from B.
A customer of your branch misplaced a packet containing valuables in the banking hall. The packet was found by
an employee who handed it over to the B.M. The B.M kept the packet safely and also spent bank’s money in
trying to trace the true owner. After a year the true owner was traced but the B.M. refused to hand over the
packet to him until he paid the bank, the Safe Custody charges and the expenses incurred by the branch in
tracing him. Is the stand taken by B.M is tenable?
The finder of lost goods is treated as bailee of the goods and is therefore charged with the responsibility of a

bailee, besides the responsibility of making reasonable efforts in finding the true owner.
The finder of lost goods also enjoys certain rights;
a) Right to retain the goods (Sec.168 of Indian Contract Act) until he receives compensation for the money
 spent in preserving the goods and also the amount spent in finding the true owner and,
b) The right to sell (Sec. 169) when the owner refuses, upon demand, to pay the lawful charges of the finder.
BM’s stand is correct.
The Superintendent of Police informs you over the telephone that he suspects at one of your locker hirers is
involved in fake currency notes racket and has hidden fake currency notes in his safe deposit locker with your
branch. The SP wants to carry out a search of the locker. How will you handle such a situation?
The locker hirer will be informed. However, if he is not available or does not respond, his presence is not

essential. An order from the S.P. will be taken and kept on record.
The locker will be broken open in the presence of two bank officers, two independent witnesses and notary

public, if possible.
Inventory of the contents of the locker will be made and signed by all the above persons i.e., the S.P. or his

authorised agent, both bank officials, both witnesses and the notary.
The inventory will be entered in branch documents and a copy thereof will be handed over to Police

authorities against acknowledgement.
The contents of the locker along with the copy of inventory will be kept in Safe Custody till final disposal of

the case by the police.
Recently there have been reports of few incidents of burglary in branches of our circle. After the Demonetization
has been implemented, there have been large scale deposit of old currency and availability of new currency in
branches. With the devaluation of old high denomination currency with criminals etc., Such criminals would now
want new currency thus leading to a spurt in crime by way of Burglary, Dacoity, loot etc to the extent of targeting
Banks also. This present scenario has increased the security risk in your branch which has been complicated
further. Being the branch head what would you do?
by present law and order issues in society
Overnight cash retention to be kept to bare minimum. This will minimize losses/risk. Cash/Gold should be

kept in cash safe only.
Sensitive entry points like strong room/cash room/locker room doors should be fitted with magnetic sensors to

detect un-authorised entry and trigger alarm.
All Security & Fire equipment like CCTV, Burglar Alarm, Fire Alarm(AFDS), Autodialer, Time Lock should

always be functional and kept ON 24X7
Adequate no of CCTV cameras should cover all important areas. CCTV must have mandatory back up of

minimum 90 days recording.
Branch keys should never be handed over to unauthorised people like temporary staff (Canteen boy/Generator

Boy/Safaiwala) for opening the branch in morning for cleaning purpose.
 Police verification of character and antecedents of temporary staff should be done and available in branches.
Shri “X”, an individual Business Correspondent linked to your Branch, has committed a fraud amounting to
Rs.5,94,696/-, which was unearthed after receipt of a complaint on 17.06.2017 from Shri 'Bachchan', holder of SB
account maintained at the CSP. Shri 'Bachchan', in his complaint had alleged that the BC has withdrawn Rs.
30,000/- from his account without his mandate and also did not deposit Rs. 50,000/- given to him for credit to his
SB account. Subsequently, several customers have also submitted their complaints to your Branch alleging by
and large the similar charges against the BC. What are your views?
The BC used to do manual entries in the pass books and cash receipts are issued on Bank's Pay-in-slip in

Contravention to the Bank's instructions. We have to educate customers not to get entries updated manually.
Visits of CSPs by the Controllers should be made at regular intervals as per the Bank's norms to check the

activities of BCs and receiving feedback of customers regarding their operations.
Discuss the implementation of Preventive Vigilance committee in the branch / Office.
 Vigilance Week should be observed in the month of November of every year.
 Preventive Vigilance Committee (PVC) meeting is observed Once in every quarter (i.e. Quarterly)
Branches having minimum 10 Staff Members should arrange for Vigilance Meeting. And and at

CPCs/Cells irrespective of their staff strength.

Sl. No. Points on AEPS (Aadhaar Enabled Payment System)

Micro-ATM is a Card Reader and PIN Pad device with interoperability for withdrawal transactions. The
transactions are permitted by swiping Debit Card and PIN authentication at BC channel. All types of Debit
ATM Cards ( Rupay / Master / Visa) of State Bank group as well as other Banks are accepted. The
135 withdrawals upto the maximum of Rs.10,000/- per day per customer is permitted at CSPs.

Micro-ATM devices of M/s Ingenico International India Pvt Ltd.(iCT 220) and M/s VeriFone India Sales Pvt
Ltd. (VX 520) have been enabled at our Kiosk Application.

The Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS) is an interoperable payment platform offered by NPCI to
Banks which uses Aadhaar number and online biometric authentication from UIDAI for conducting financial
transactions at BC CSP outlets.
136
The AEPS functions through the National Financial Switch of NPCI which is also used for routing Inter Bank
ATM transactions and Inter Bank Mobile Payment Services (IMPS).

AEPS empowers the Bank customer to:

137  Use Aadhaar as identity to access his Aadhaar enabled Bank account
 Perform basic banking transactions (Cash deposit, Cash withdrawal, Aadhaar to Aadhaar Funds
Transfer, Balance enquiry) that are intra bank (On Us) or inter bank (Off Us) in nature, through our
BC channel thereby ensuring inter-operability across banks in a safe and secured manner
AEPS transactions are classified as either:

138  On Us - Kiosk Customer of SBI visits the SBI CSP outlet


 Off Us (Acquirer) Other Bank customer visits SBI CSP outlet
 Off Us (Issuer) SBI Kiosk Customer visits Other Bank CSP outlet

AEPS (On-Us) facility in SBI Kiosk Banking enables our Banks FI customers, to conduct financial and non-
financial transactions using Aadhaar number and Aadhaar based biometric authentication. Only finger print is
139 validated from UIDAI using NPCI platform. If validation is successful then the transactions will happen
online in Kiosk Platform, as per normal Kiosk Transactions. The transaction limit has been kept at Rs.
10,000/.

In AEPS (OFF-Us) Inter-Bank transactions, the authentication request first travels to UIDAI via NPCI. On
140 successful authentication of biometric/Aadhaar no, the transaction is routed to the Destination Bank for
payment and response travels back to the Originating Bank via NPCI.

Title Investigation Report (TIR) As per circular no. CCO/CPPD-ADV/70/2017 – 18 dated 25.09.2017
Obtention of two TIRs:
Point-1: If our exposure is collaterally secured by the following types of properties, a satisfactory Title Investigation
Report (TIR) from two different empanelled advocates should be obtained, irrespective of amount in all segments
(including Housing Loans):-
i.) Properties offered by third party guarantors whether individual or non-individual.
ii.) Properties acquired through Gift deed.
iii.) Properties sold by Power of Attorney holders to our borrower/guarantor.
Point-2: In case of Housing Loans where properties do not fall into the abovementioned categories, a satisfactory Title
Investigation Report (TIR) from two different empanelled advocates should be obtained in the following cases:
i.) In respect of Housing Loans where the RERA registration is available and Loan amount is above Rs.5 crores
ii.) In respect of Housing Loans where RERA registration is not available and Loan amount is Rs.1 crore & above.
iii.) Second Sales and Loan amount is Rs.1 crore and above.
In respect of all cases where the loan amount is less than Rs.1.00 crore, the advocate has to make search of the title of
the property for not less than 13 years if it establishes clear and marketable title. However, if the flow of title is not clear
or in the event of any ambiguity about the title after search for 13 years, the Advocate may make search for not less than
30 years.
In respect of all cases where the loan amount is Rs.1.00 crore and above, the advocate has to make search of the title of
the property for not less than 30 years irrespective of the fact that clear and marketable title is established by a shorter
search of 13 years.
In case of Builder Tie Ups (in case of Home Loans), for approval of the project search of the title for not less than 30
years is mandatory.
Similarly professional fees/expenses charged by the advocate should be paid by the Bank directly to them and recovered
from the concerned customer.
The Advocate / Solicitor /Law Firm shall within 10 days (except in case of Housing Loans) furnish to the Bank the title
certificate and search verification report after receipt of the entire papers in respect of property
Registration of EM with ROC / CERSAI:

resolutions of the corporate.
Title deeds along with related mortgage documents to be kept separately from other documents.
Valuation Report shall not be kept along with the title deeds. However, TIR has to be kept along with the Title deeds
In respect of properties already mortgaged to the Bank, Encumbrance Certificate (EC) has to be obtained (in states/UTs
where available) every year at the time of renewal of limits, irrespective of the exposure. If the account is reviewed
(continuation of limits is permitted), then also EC has to be obtained invariably. However, this is not applicable in case
of Housing Loans / P-segment loans. (i.e. Encumbrance Certificate is not required in HL case)
Henceforth, a letter would be sent to all the borrowers/guarantors, who had mortgaged their properties with the Bank,
stating that the borrower/guarantor has to collect the original title deeds within 60 days of full and final payment of
Bank’s dues (Loan). In case they do not collect the original title deeds within the prescribed time limit, applicable Safe
Custody Charges would be levied. Waiver of these charges on a case to case basis shall be vested with the Branch
Managers not below Scale-IV incumbency / AGM (Controller).
As per Bank’s Risk Rating Policy, higher risk borrowers or problem exposures, must be subject to more frequent review.
To implement the policy, framework for Dynamic Review Of Internal Ratings was introduced in Nov 2014.
 This framework covers all borrowers having total exposure of Rs. 10 Crores & above for trigger based review and
Rs.500 crores and above for non-trigger based review and it is applicable for all Business Groups including IBG.
 Dynamic Review of CRA is “purely subjective”, based on both qualitative and quantitative information.
