All Public Sector Banks
Dear Sir/Madam,
Half yearly/Quarterly Review of Accounts of Public Sector Banks
Please refer to our circulars DBS.ARS.No.BC.13/08.91.001/2000-01 dated May 17, 2001, DBS.ARS.No.BC. 4/08.91.001/2001-02 dated October 25, 2001 and DBS.ARS.No. BC.17/08.91.001/2002-03 dated June 5, 2003 on conduct of Half yearly/Quarterly Review of Accounts of Public Sector Banks.
2. It is clarified that Concurrent Auditors shall henceforth submit their NPA review reports to the banks and not to Statutory Central Auditors (SCAs) undertaking the half yearly/quarterly review. Concurrent Auditors will therefore give their opinion on NPA figures to the banks and not to the SCAs, who for audit purpose will treat the branches covered by Concurrent Auditors as unaudited branches [para I (ii) of Annexure III of circular dated May 17, 2001].
3. SCAs, as in the past, will continue to review top 20 branches for half yearly/quarterly reviews and take into account review reports of overseas branches of public sector banks audited by the respective statutory auditor. SCAs will necessarily cover advances adversely commented upon in the latest inspection report of RBI, special audit/special scrutiny, if any carried out by the bank, RBI or any other agency, so that all problem accounts are taken care of during half yearly/quarterly review.
4. The balance portion of stipulated 50% of advances and NPAs, to be covered for half yearly/quarterly review, will be reviewed by SCAs through Core Banking System of the banks and management inputs viz. internal inspection reports, review reports by concurrent auditors etc. made available to them by banks. Consequently, the format for “Specimen of the Review Report” to be submitted by SCAs is revised and enclosed as Annex II.
5. The other instructions, as amended from time to time, shall remain unchanged.
6. Please acknowledge receipt.
Yours faithfully
(Indrani Banerjee)
Chief General Manager

Data storage norm splits digital payments industry

Data storage norm splits digital payments industry  India’s nascent digital payment industry could be thrown into disarray due to the demand by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that all user data be stored within the country, fears an industry grouping, which has termed the decision as “heavy-handed”, even as others, including the country’s largest digital payment provider Paytm, have hailed the move.  In a bid to narrow the growing schism, the industry is planning to send a formal representation to the regulator highlighting its concerns, a top official told ET.  “We are trying to build a consensus on the issue," said the person adding that the representation to the central bank will be ready this week.  RBI on April 6, mandated all payment companies—global and local—to set up data storage facilities within India by October. The stringent six-month deadline has attracted the ire of several sections of the industry that fear it will lead to a disruption of wel...

By
The Commodity Derivatives Advisory Committee of the Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi) will meet on Friday with senior officials of the latter, to give a final shape to the rules on options trading in commodity futures, beside revising the warehousing norms to ensure good delivery on settlement. The decision taken, after discussing with the advisory committee, will be placed before the regulator’s board, to finalise the regulations. According to knowledgeable sources, three commodities in each segment, agricultural and non- agricultural, have been proposed for introducing options. It appears commodities from the soya and guar segments are preferred in the former. From the non- agri segment, it is likely that gold, silver and crude oil will be finalised. All these These have better liquidity and both the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange and the Multi Commodity Exchange, respectively, will be able to introduce the options. In the equity segments, options ar...
