On a review, it has now been decided that RRBs should not allow the benefit of additional interest rate on any type of deposits of non-residents. Accordingly, the discretion given to RRBs to allow the benefit of additional interest rate of one per cent per annum as available to bank’s own staff on deposits under NRE/NRO accounts stands withdrawn.
There may be situations where the clients of banks may like to reduce the notional exposure of the hedging derivative contract. In such cases, banks may partially or fully terminate the contract before maturity, at their discretion, thereby reducing the notional exposure of the contract. This reduction in notional exposure would not be treated as re-structuring of the derivative contract provided all other parameters of the original contract remain unchanged.
The Central Government has notified the Factoring Regulation Act, 2011 on January 22, 2012. The Act aims to regulate Factors and assignment of receivables in favour of Factors, as also delineate the rights and obligations of parties to assignment of receivables. Under the Act, factoring companies other than banks, Government companies etc. (as provided in Section 5 of the Act) would be registered with the Reserve Bank as NBFCs and would be subject to prudential regulations by the Reserve Bank. In accordance with the above, it has been decided to introduce a new category of NBFCs viz; Non-Banking Financial Company–Factors and issue separate Directions to them.

The Reserve Bank of India has, in consultation with stakeholders, today rationalised charges that banks can levy on customers for transfer of funds through National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT). Now banks can levy not more than `2.50 (exclusive of service tax) for funds transfer upto Rs. 10,000. Charges for transfers beyond this limit would remain unchanged, that is, Rs. 5 for transfers between Rs. 10,001 to Rupees one lakh; Rs. 15 for transfers between Rupees one lakh and above and upto Rs. 2 lakh; and Rs. 25 for transfers beyond Rs. 2 lakh.

It has been brought to our notice that some banks are insisting on opening of fresh accounts by customers when customers approach them for transferring their account from one branch of the bank to another branch of the same bank. In such cases, insisting on opening of a fresh account or subjecting the customers to the full KYC procedure again causes inconvenience to them resulting in poor customer service. Further, in case of banks that are CBS enabled, the KYC records of a customer could be accessed by any branch of the bank and hence it is not reasonable for such banks to subject the customer again to the full KYC procedure.
A reference is invited to the paragraph 4.2.3 – Notes (iv) of the Master Circular on Capital Adequacy and Market Discipline- New Capital Adequacy Framework (NCAF) dated July 2, 2012, wherein it is mentioned that ‘the net credit balance, if any, in the inter-office account with Head Office/overseas branches will not be reckoned as capital funds. However, any debit balance in the Head Office account will have to be set-off against capital.’
