1. INTRODUCTION

In exercise of the powers conferred by Sections 21 and 35A read with Section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the Reserve Bank of India, being satisfied that it is necessary and expedient in the public interest so to do, has issued directives that no primary (urban) co-operative bank shall pay interest on rupee deposits of money accepted by it or renewed by it, except in accordance with rates as specified in the Annex 1 & 2, subject to the conditions specified in the paragraphs below.

2. DEFINITIONS

  1. "Demand Liabilities" and "Time Liabilities" shall have the same meaning as defined in Section 18 read with Section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949;

  2. "Demand Deposit" shall mean a deposit received by the bank which is withdrawable on demand;

  3. "Saving Deposit" shall mean a form of demand deposit which is a deposit account whether designated as "Saving Account”, "Saving Bank Account", "Saving Deposit Account” or other account by whatever name called, which is subject to the restrictions as to the number of withdrawals as also the amount of withdrawals permitted by the bank during any specified period;

  4. "Term Deposit” shall mean a deposit received by the bank for a fixed period and which is withdrawable only after the expiry of the said fixed period and shall also include deposits such as Recurring/Cumulative/ Annuity/Reinvestment deposits, Cash Certificates, and so on;

  5. "Notice Deposit" shall mean term deposit for specific period but withdrawable on giving at least one complete banking day's notice;

  6. "Current Account" shall mean a form of demand deposit wherefrom withdrawals are allowed any number of times depending upon the balance in the account or upto a particular agreed amount and shall also be deemed to include other deposit accounts which are neither Savings Deposit nor Term Deposit;

  7. "Budgetary Allocation" shall mean the allocation of funds by the Government made through the budget, wherein all the Government’s expenditure is reflected. Any institution, irrespective of the fact whether it is a Government Department, Semi-Government or Quasi-Government Body, which receives grants, loans or subsidies from the Government is said to depend on budgetary allocation. Government grants to institutions are also in the nature of budgetary allocation. Government's subscription to the share capital of these institutions also forms part of the budgetary allocation. Local bodies like Municipal Corporations, Zilla Parishads, Taluka Panchayats and Gram Panchayats are given grants in the nature of 'compensation and assignments', which also form part of budgetary allocation, although taxes collected by these bodies are not covered under the definition and scope of budgetary allocation of Central and State Governments;

  8. “a member of the bank’s staff” means a person employed on a regular basis, whether full-time or part-time, and includes a person recruited on probation or employed on a contract of a specified duration or on deputation and an employee taken over in pursuance of any scheme of amalgamation, but does not include a person employed on casual basis;

  9. “a retired member of the bank's staff” means an employee retiring whether on superannuation or otherwise, but does not include an employee retired compulsorily or in consequence of disciplinary action;

  10. “family” in the context of the members of staff means and includes the spouse of the member/retired member of the bank's staff and the children, parents, brothers and sisters of the member/retired member of the bank's staff who are dependent on such member/retired member, but shall not include legally separated spouse;

  11. “political party” means an association or body of individual citizens of India, which is, or is deemed to be registered with the Election Commission of India as a political party under the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968 as in force for the time being.

3. RATE OF INTEREST PAYABLE ON CURRENT ACCOUNTS

Primary (urban) co-operative banks may, at their discretion, pay interest at a rate not exceeding half per cent per annum on current accounts. As the discretionary provisions generally lead to increase in cost of such deposits, banks are encouraged not to pay interest on current accounts. Interest on current account balances, wherever paid, shall be calculated on a daily product basis and paid on quarterly or longer rests.

4 A RATE OF INTEREST PAYABLE ON SAVINGS DEPOSITS

4.1 Banks should pay interest on domestic savings deposits at the rates specified in the Annex 1 to this Circular.

4.2 With effect from November 25, 2011, the interest rate on saving bank deposit for resident Indian has been deregulated. Accordingly, banks are free to determine, their savings bank deposit interest rate, subject to the following two conditions: -

  1. each bank will have to offer a uniform interest rate on savings bank deposits up to ₹ 1 lakh, irrespective of the amount in the account within this limit.

  2. for savings bank deposits over ₹ 1 lakh, a bank may provide differential rates of interest, if it chooses, subject to the condition that banks will not discriminate in the matter of interest paid on such deposits, between one deposit and another of similar amount, accepted on the same date, at any of its offices.

4.2.1 The interest rates applicable on the domestic savings deposit will be determined on the basis of end-of-day balance in the account. Accordingly, while calculating interest on domestic savings bank deposits, banks are required to apply the uniform rate set by them on end-of-day balance up to ₹ 1 lakh and for any end-of day balance exceeding ₹ 1 lakh, banks may apply the differential rate(s) as fixed by them. Urban Co-operative Banks may ensure that prior approval of the Board /Asset Liability Management Committee (if powers are delegated by the Board) may be obtained by a bank while fixing interest rates on such deposits.

4.3 Interest on balances in savings bank accounts should be calculated on a daily product basis.

4.4 Such interest should be paid at quarterly or longer rests.

4.5 Banks may continue to credit the interest to the savings bank accounts frozen by enforcement authorities on a regular basis.

4 B Interest on Ordinary Non-Resident (NRO) Accounts and Non- Resident (External) Rupee (NRE) Deposits

Banks should pay interest on NRO accounts and NRE deposits at the rates specified in Annex 1 & 2 respectively. With effect from December 28, 2011, the interest rates on NRE Deposits and NRO Deposit Accounts have been deregulated. Accordingly, banks are free to determine their interest rates on both savings deposits and term deposits of maturity of one year and above under NRE Deposit accounts and savings deposits under NRO Accounts. However, interest rates offered by banks on NRE and NRO deposits cannot be higher than those offered by them on comparable domestic rupee deposits. Prior approval of the Board/Asset Liability Management Committee (if powers are delegated by the Board) may be obtained by banks while fixing interest rates on such deposits. At any point of time, individual banks should offer uniform rates at all their branches. Banks should closely monitor their external liability arising on account of such deregulation and ensure asset-liability compatibility from systemic risk point of view.

Note: Non-Resident Ordinary (Rupee) [NRO]/Non-Resident (External) [NRE] deposits may be accepted only by such banks as have been specifically authorised by Reserve Bank of India in this regard.

5. INTEREST PAYABLE ON TERM DEPOSITS

5 (A) INTEREST RATES ON TERM DEPOSITS OF NOT LESS THAN 15 DAYS (7 DAYS IN THE CASE OF A TERM DEPOSIT OF RS.15 LAKH & ABOVE AND 1 YEAR IN CASE OF NR DEPOSIT)

Banks should pay interest at the rates specified in Annex 1 & 2 of this Circular. Banks are free to offer floating rate of interest at their discretion, clearly linked to an anchor rate for domestic term deposits and with an upper cap as indicated in Annex 2 of this Master Circular for NRE deposits. Prior approval of the Board of Directors should be obtained for fixing interest rates of various maturities.

5.1 Banks are free to fix interest rates on domestic term deposits.

5.2 The banks may at their discretion, reduce the minimum tenor of domestic/NRO term deposits even below Rs 15 lakh from 15 days to 7 days.

5.3 The banks are required to offer uniform rates on deposits below Rs.15 lakh for the same maturity.

5.4 In case of deposits of Rs 15 lakh and above banks may discriminate in the matter of rate of interest between one deposit and another, accepted on the same date and for the same maturity, on the basis of the size of deposit.

5.5 Banks are advised to put in place a Board approved transparent policy on pricing of liabilities. The Board /Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) should ensure that the variation in interest rates on single term deposits of ₹ 15 lakh and above and other term deposits (i.e. deposits less than ₹ 15 lakh) is minimal for corresponding maturities.

5.6 Banks are required to disclose in advance the schedule of interest rates payable on deposits including deposits on which differential rate of interest will be paid by the banks. Interest rates paid by a bank should be as per the schedule and the same shall not be subject to negotiation between the bank and the depositor for domestic deposits.

5.7 Banks are required to review their interest rate structure on domestic term deposits of different maturities and take appropriate action to make them comparable with the rates offered by the commercial banks.

(B) METHOD OF CALCULATION OF INTEREST ON TERM DEPOSITS

Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) code for banking practice is issued by IBA for uniform adoption by the Member Banks. Code is intended to promote good banking practices by setting out minimum standards which member banks will follow in their dealings with customers. IBA, for the purpose of calculation of interest on domestic term deposit, have prescribed that on deposits repayable in less than three months or where the terminal quarter is incomplete, interest should be paid proportionately for the actual number of days reckoning the year at 365 days. It has been reported to us that some of the banks are adopting the model of reckoning the year at 366 days/ 365 days in Leap Year and in other years respectively. While banks are free to adopt their methodology, they should provide information to their depositors about the manner of calculation of interest appropriately while accepting the deposits and display the same at their branches.

6. ADDITIONAL INTEREST PAYABLE

6.1 To Non-Staff Depositors

(i) A primary (urban) co-operative bank may, at its discretion, allow additional interest at a rate not exceeding 1% per annum on all local rupee (domestic) savings deposits, as well as on savings accounts opened by resident depositor(s) which become ordinary non-resident accounts (NRO) on the depositor(s) going abroad.

(ii) While the banks have been permitted to offer, at their discretion, additional interest not exceeding 1% and 0.5% per annum on the saving bank deposits and current account deposits respectively, the discretionary provisions generally lead to increase in the cost of deposits. The banks should, therefore, endeavour:

  1. not to pay any additional interest on the saving bank accounts over and above what is payable by commercial banks; and

  2. not to pay interest on current accounts.

6.2 To Bank's Staff and their Exclusive Associations

A bank may, at its discretion allow additional interest at a rate not exceeding one per cent per annum over and above the rate of interest stipulated in the Annex 1 & 2 and the additional interest payable/paid as per paragraph 6.1:

(A) In respect of a savings or a term deposit account opened in the name of

  1. a member or retired member of the bank's staff, either singly or jointly with any other member or members of his/her family; or

  2. the spouse of a deceased member or a deceased retired member of the bank's staff; and

  3. an association or a fund, members of which are the members of the bank's staff,

Provided that -

the bank shall obtain a declaration from the depositor concerned, that the monies deposited or which may, from time to time, be deposited into such account, shall be monies belonging to the depositor as stated in Clauses (i) to (iii) above.

Provided further that -

  1. in the case of employees taken on deputation from another bank, the bank from which they are deputed may allow additional interest in respect of the savings or term deposit account opened with it, during the same period of deputation;

  2. in the case of persons taken on deputation for a fixed duration, or on a contract of a fixed duration, the benefit shall cease to accrue on the expiry of the term of deputation or contract, as the case may be;

(B) Payment of additional interest shall be subject to the following conditions, namely:

  1. The additional interest shall be payable only so long as the person continues to be eligible for the same and in case of his ceasing to be so eligible, till the maturity of the deposit, in the case of a term deposit account.

  2. In the case of employees taken over pursuant to the scheme of amalgamation, the additional interest shall be allowed only if the interest at the contractual rate together with the additional interest does not exceed the rate which could have been allowed if such employees were originally employed by the bank.

(C) Bank employees' federations in which bank employees are not direct members shall not be eligible for additional interest.

(D) In case of Domestic deposits, it will be in order for banks to give their resident Indian retired staff, who are senior citizens, the benefit of higher interest rates as admissible to senior citizens over and above the additional interest of not exceeding one per cent payable to them by virtue of their being retired members of the banks' staff.

6.3 To Managing Director/Chief Executive of the Bank

A bank may, at its discretion, pay additional interest not exceeding one per cent per annum over and above the rate of interest stipulated in the Annex 1 & 2 and the additional interest paid/payable as per paragraph 6.1 on deposits accepted/renewed from Managing Director of the bank; provided he acts as the Chief Executive of the bank drawing regular salary from the bank and he is not eligible to get similar benefit under paragraph 6.2 above. Additional interest on the deposits of Managing Director of the bank as above shall be payable only during the period of his tenure as Managing Director.

6.4 To Senior Citizens

  1. Banks, with the permission of their Board, may offer higher rate of interest on the term deposits of any size, to senior citizens.

  2. The scheme of term deposits of senior citizens shall incorporate simplified procedure for automatic transfer of deposits to nominees in the event of the death of the depositor.

7 PAYMENT OF INTEREST ON TERM DEPOSIT MATURING ON SUNDAY/ HOLIDAY/ NON-BUSINESS WORKING DAY

In respect of a term deposit maturing for payment on a Sunday or a holiday or a non-business working day, a bank shall pay interest till the next working day at the originally contracted rate, -

  1. on the maturity value in the case of reinvestment deposits and recurring deposits, and

  2. on the original principal amount in the case of ordinary term deposit on the basis of 365 days in a year.

8 PREMATURE WITHDRAWAL OF TERM DEPOSIT

8.1 A primary (urban) co-operative bank, on request from the depositor, should allow withdrawal of a term deposit before completion of the period of the deposit agreed upon at the time of making the deposit. Banks are free to determine their own penal interest rates for premature withdrawal of term deposits.

8.2 Banks should ensure that the depositors are made aware of the applicable penal rate along with the deposit rate.

8.3 Banks, at its discretion, may disallow premature withdrawal of large deposits held by entities other than individuals and Hindu Undivided Families. Bank should, however, notify such depositors of its policy of disallowing premature withdrawal in advance, i.e., at the time of accepting such deposits.

8.4 Conversion of NRE deposit into Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Banks) [FCNR (B)] deposit and vice versa before maturity by a bank allowed to maintain FCNR(B) deposits, shall be subject to the penal provision relating to premature withdrawal.

8.5 DEPOSIT SCHEMES WITH LOCK-IN PERIOD

It has been brought to notice of the Reserve Bank of India that some banks are offering special term deposit products to customers, in addition to regular term deposits, ranging from 300 days to five years, with the following features:

  1. Lock-in periods ranging from 6 to 12 months;

  2. Premature withdrawal is not permitted during the lock-in period. In case premature withdrawal is allowed during the lock-in period, no interest is paid;

  3. Rates of interest offered on these deposits are not in tune with the rates of interest on normal deposits and

  4. Part pre-payment is allowed by some banks subject to certain conditions.

Before launching new domestic deposit mobilization schemes with the approval of their respective Boards, primary (urban) co-operative banks should ensure that the provisions of Reserve Bank of India’s directives on interest rates on deposits, premature withdrawal of term deposits, sanction of loans/advances against term deposits, etc., issued from time to time, are strictly adhered to. Any violation in this regard will be viewed seriously and may attract penalty under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (As Applicable to Co-operative Societies). It is clarified that the special schemes, with lock-in periods and other features referred to above, which have been floated by some banks, are not in conformity with Reserve Bank of India’s instructions. Banks that have floated such deposit schemes are, therefore, advised to discontinue the schemes with immediate effect and report compliance to Regional Office concerned of Reserve Bank of India.

9. CONVERSION OF A TERM DEPOSIT, A DEPOSIT IN THE FORM OF DAILY DEPOSIT, OR RECURRING DEPOSIT FOR REINVESTMENT IN TERM DEPOSIT

In order to facilitate better Asset Liability Management, banks are permitted to formulate their own policies towards conversion of deposits.

10 UNCLAIMED DEPOSITS AND INOPERATIVE/ DORMANT ACCOUNTS

Banks should play a more pro-active role in finding the whereabouts of the account holders whose accounts have remained inoperative.

  1. A savings as well as current account should be treated as inoperative / dormant if there are no transactions in the account for over a period of two years. For the purpose of classifying an account as 'inoperative' both the type of transactions i.e. debit as well as credit transactions induced at the instance of customers as well as third party should be considered.

  2. Interest on savings bank accounts should be credited on regular basis whether the account is operative or not. If a Fixed Deposit Receipt matures and proceeds are unpaid, the amount left unclaimed with the bank will attract savings bank rate of interest.

11 INTEREST PAYABLE ON A DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OF DECEASED DEPOSITOR

The criterion for payment of interest on term deposit standing in the name/s of a deceased individual depositor or two or more joint depositors, where one of the depositors has died to be paid to the legal heir/s/representative/s/nominee/s has been left to the discretion of the individual banks, subject to their Board of Directors, laying down a transparent policy in this regard and the customers being notified at the time of acceptance of deposits. The policy should be non-discretionary and non-discriminatory.

12 ROUNDING OFF OF TRANSACTIONS

Interest payable on deposits and interest chargeable on advances shall be rounded off to the nearest rupee; i.e., fraction of 50 paise and above shall be rounded off to the next higher rupee and fraction of less than 50 paise shall be ignored.

13 MARGIN ON ADVANCES AGAINST TERM DEPOSITS

The decision regarding maintenance of margin on any financial accommodation allowed by the banks against the security of term deposit, has been left to the individual banks, subject to their Board laying down a transparent policy in this regard.

14 ADDITION OR DELETION OF THE NAME(S) OR SPLIT INTO JOINT ACCOUNT HOLDERS

A primary (urban) co-operative bank may, at its discretion, and at the request of the joint account holders of a deposit, if any,

  1. allow the addition or deletion of name(s) of joint account holders, if the circumstances so warrant; or

  2. allow an individual depositor to add the name of another person as a account holder; or

  3. allow splitting up of the joint deposit in the name of each of the joint account holders only;

Provided that in no case, shall the amount, or duration of the original deposit, undergo change in any manner in case the deposit is a term deposit.

15 TRANSFER/SPLIT UP OF THE DEPOSIT ON THE DEATH OF AN ACCOUNT HOLDER

On the death of a depositor, a primary (urban) co-operative bank may allow the deposit to be held in the name/s of one or more legal heirs, or legal representatives, or nominees of the depositor, either jointly in their names, or along with other persons, or separately in their names by splitting up the deposits.

16 PAYMENT OF INTEREST ON ACCOUNTS FROZEN

The following procedure may be followed in case of Term Deposits Accounts frozen by the enforcement authorities-

  1. A request letter may be obtained from the customer for renewal of the deposit on maturity. While obtaining the request letter from the depositor for renewal, the banks may advise him to indicate the term for which the deposit is to be renewed. In case the depositor does not exercise his option of choosing the term for renewal, banks may renew the same for a term equal to the original term.

  2. No new receipt is required to be issued. However, suitable note may be made regarding renewal in the deposit ledger.

  3. Renewal of deposit may be advised by registered letter / speed post / courier service to the concerned Government department under advice to the depositor. In the advice to the depositor, the rate of interest at which the deposit is renewed should also be mentioned.

  4. If overdue period does not exceed 14 days on the date of receipt of the request letter, renewal may be done from the date of maturity. If it exceeds 14 days, banks may pay interest for the overdue period as per the policy adopted by them, and keep it in a separate interest free sub-account which should be released when the original fixed deposit is released.

17 EXEMPTIONS
