Banks, which have fixed their service charges for out-station/speed clearing for instruments valuing above Rs. 1 lakh as percentage to the value of instruments are, therefore, advised to review the same and fix the charges on a cost-plus basis. Banks may note to ensure that collection charges fixed for instruments valuing above Rs. 1 lakh is lower under Speed Clearing vis-a-vis Out-station Cheque Collection as advised in paragraph 6(d) of our circular dated January 19, 2011 so as to encourage the use of Speed Clearing.
As you may be aware, it has been the endeavour of Reserve Bank of India to put in place clearing infrastructure at all places where there are five or more banks operating but do not have a clearing house with a relaxation to district headquarters where the presence of three banks is sufficient to establish a clearing house. Towards this endeavour, Regional offices of RBI continuously identify locations and banks for opening new clearing houses. As a result of such continuous efforts, there are 1200 clearing houses as on April 2012 across the country of which more than 200 clearing houses have been made operational during the last four years (2008-2012) alone.
CICs may be required to issue guarantees or take on other contingent liabilities on behalf of their group entities. Before doing so, CICs must ensure that they can meet the obligation thereunder, as and when they arise.

If unregistered CICs with asset size above Rs. 100 crore access public funds without obtaining a Certificate of Registration (CoR) from RBI, they will be seen as violating Core Investment Companies (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2011 dated January 05, 2011.
