Dear Sir,
Submission of Data to Credit Information Companies – Format of Data to be submitted by Credit Institutions
Please refer to our circular RPCD.CO.RF.BC.No.17/07.40.06/2010-11 dated September 6, 2010 on the captioned subject.
2. It is observed that many a time, names of Directors of various firms/companies are similar. It is, therefore, necessary to ensure that Directors are correctly identified and in no case, names appearing to be similar to the names of Directors appearing in the list of defaulting borrowers are wrongfully denied credit facilities on such grounds. To avoid such situations, it has been decided that the Director Identification Number (DIN) may be included as one of the fields in the data format submitted by State and Central Co-operative Banks to credit information companies. Such provision of DIN will further ensure that the data relating to credit information is accurate and complete.
