CIRCULAR TO ALL BRANCHES IN INDIA

Dear Sir,

Re: Takeover of Borrowal accounts from other banks.

Reserve Bank of India (RBI), vide its circular no DBOD.No.BP.BC-
104/21.04.048/2011-12 dated 10.05.2012, has expressed concern over takeover of
loans by banks including on non-sharing of the critical information on the health of the
borrowal account by the transferor bank with transferee bank, resulting in inadequate
due diligence etc. at the time of taking over.

As expected by RBI in said circular, the Banks Domestic Loan Policy 2012, provides
norms in respect of take-over of accounts from other banks including nature of
accounts eligible for take-over; financial and non-financial parameters; powers for
takeover with or without deviation. The Policy also provides guidelines for credit audit
in general, applicable also to takeover accounts. The Bank also has extant guidelines
in respect of examination of Staff Accountability in all NPA Accounts (must in case of
quick mortality i.e. account becoming NPA within one year of sanction) under
Scheme for Examination of staff accountability in Non Performing Accounts
/Operational Areas approved by the EMC on 17.06.2009.

Further, based on experience and issues raised & deliberated with Statutory Auditors
and RBIs Inspection Team, guidelines have been issued from time to time through
circulars i.e.

BCC:BR:103:132 dated 20.05.2011
BCC:BR:103:158 dated 09.06.2011
BCC:BR:103:159 dated 09.06.2011
BCC:BR:103:281 dated 29.09.2011


RBI has advised that henceforth, in order to make transferee bank fully aware of the
irregularities if any, existed in the borrowers accounts with the transferor bank, before
taking over an account, the transferee bank shall obtain necessary credit information
from the transferor bank as per attached format (annex -1) (i.e. the format prescribed
for sharing of information in case of Lending under Consortium /Multiple Banking
Arrangements). The transferor bank, on receipt of request from the transferee bank
shall share the necessary credit information as per prescribed format at the earliest.

RBI has also advised the banks to have proper reporting system in respect of
takeover decisions and put in place proper periodical review and monitoring
mechanism at Board Level Committee, Top Management level etc in respect of all the
take-over accounts.

In the light of guidelines received from RBI, it has been decided to introduce the
reporting and monitoring mechanism with immediate effect (i.e. starting from
30.09.2012 onwards) in respect of takeover accounts as under:

a) All taken over accounts shall be under the scope of quarterly reporting and
monitoring for a period of 12 months from the date of take over i.e. the period for
considering an NPA account a case of quick mortality.

b) The branches shall submit a report on quarterly basis to Regional Offices in
respect of taken over accounts as per format enclosed (Annex-2). The
information should reach from Branches to RO within 7 days from the close of
quarter.

c) The Regional Office shall consolidate the information for Branches and submit
the same to Zonal Office within 10 days from the close of quarter.

d) In respect of accounts taken over during preceding 12 months under Branches
powers, Regional Office shall place the report (with analysis) to the RMCC for
carrying out quarterly review.

e) The Zonal Office shall consolidate the information for Regions and submit the
same to Credit Monitoring Deptt at BCC within 12 days from the close of quarter.

f) In respect of accounts taken over during preceding 12 months under Regions
powers, Zonal Office shall place the report (with analysis) to the ZOCC for
carrying out quarterly review.

g) The Credit Monitoring Deptt., BCC Mumbai shall consolidate the information for
Zones and shall place the report in respect of accounts taken over during
preceding 12 months under Zones /BCCs powers with analysis & comments
before respective COCC-ED for carrying out quarterly review, within 15 days
from the close of quarter.

The guidelines come into force with immediate effect.

Branches, Regional and Zonal offices are advised to take necessary care and ensure
compliance.
