Director of Treasuries of all States.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Detection and Impounding of Counterfeit
Banknotes- Updated Master Circular (2006)
As you are aware, in order to enable
the banks to have all the existing instructions on the subject at one place,
the Reserve Bank of India had issued a Master Circular on September 30, 2005,
containing guidelines/instructions to banks and Treasuries /Sub-Treasuries on
the procedure to be followed in dealing with counterfeit banknotes detected
at the counters of bank branches or treasury/sub-treasury offices. The referred
Master Circular has now been updated incorporating further instructions issued
till date and is enclosed herewith.
Yours faithfully,
(R.Muralidharan)
General Manager
MASTER CIRCULAR
DETECTION AND IMPOUNDING OF COUNTERFEIT
BANKNOTES
1. Authority to impound
counterfeit banknotes
The counterfeit banknotes can be
impounded by -
(i) all branches of public sector
banks
(ii) all branches of private sector banks
& foreign banks
(iii) all branches of co-operative banks
& regional rural banks
(iv) all treasuries and Sub-treasuries
(v) all RBI Issue Offices.
2. Stamping on the counterfeit
banknote
Each banknote, which is suspected
to be counterfeit or is found to be counterfeit, shall be branded with a stamp
‘COUNTERFEIT BANKNOTE’ and impounded. For this purpose, a stamp with a uniform
size of 5 cm x 5 cm with the following inscription may be used.

3. Issue of Receipt
to the Tenderer:
When a banknote tendered at the
counter of RBI Issue Office or a bank branch or treasury is found to be counterfeit,
an acknowledgement receipt in the format as per Annex I should be issued to
the tenderer, after stamping the note as in paragraph 2 ibid. The receipt, in
running serial numbers, should be in duplicate and should be authenticated by
the cashier as well as by the tenderer. Notice to this effect should be displayed
prominently at the offices / branches for the information of the public. Acknowledgement
receipt may be issued even in cases where the tenderer is unwilling to countersign
the receipt.
4. Counterfeit banknotes
detected in cash tenders received by the branch
The counterfeit banknotes detected
in the cash received by the branch shall be forwarded to local police for investigation
by filing the FIR (Annex II). A copy of the FIR shall be sent to the Forged
(Counterfeit) Banknote Vigilance Cell at the Head Office of the bank (only in
the case of banks) and in the case of the Treasury, it should be sent to the
concerned Issue Office of RBI. Particulars such as name, address of the tenderer
and his /her statement as to how the said banknote came into his / her possession
shall also be forwarded to police authorities. FIRs are required to be filed
in respect of all cases of detection of counterfeit banknotes, including one
or two pieces detected in cash tendered by individuals whose bonafides are not
suspect. If the counterfeit banknotes are sent to Police by insured post, acknowledgement
of receipt thereof by the Police should be invariably obtained and kept on record.
In case of any difficulty, if any, faced by the Offices/Branches due to reluctance
of the Police to accept FIRs, the matter may be sorted out in consultation with
the Nodal Officer of the State concerned. A list of Nodal Officers of State
Police Forces designated to coordinate matters relating to investigation of
counterfeit banknote cases is enclosed as Annex V. In no case, the counterfeit
banknotes should be returned to the tenderers or destroyed by the bank branches
/ treasuries. In case of suspected foreign currency note received for opinion
from police/government agencies, etc., the sender may be advised to forward
the same to the Interpol Wing of the CBI, New Delhi after prior consultation.
The definition of `counterfeiting’ in the Indian Penal Code covers currency
notes issued by a foreign government authority as well. The data on detection
of counterfeit Indian banknotes at bank branches & treasuries should be
included in the monthly returns forwarded to the RBI Issue Offices as shown
in para 9 below.
5. Guidelines on detection
of counterfeit banknotes
With a view to educating the branch
staff on detection of counterfeit banknotes, the design and security features
of all the banknotes shown in Annex IV have been supplied to all the banks /
treasuries with instructions to display them prominently at the branches for
information of the public. The Controlling Offices/Training Centres may also
organise/conduct training programmes on the security features of banknotes.
If necessary, they may take help of the officers from the nearest Issue Office
of RBI.
6. Examination of banknotes
With a view to ensuring detection
of counterfeit banknotes, it is necessary that all the notes received at the
branches are carefully examined. It must further be ensured that in no case,
the counterfeit banknotes are mixed up, even inadvertently, in the cash issued
to the public or remittances sent to other bank branches/RBI offices. Banks
should ensure that they stock their ATMs with good quality genuine banknotes
only. Disbursement of counterfeit banknotes through the ATMs would be treated
as an attempt to circulate the counterfeit banknotes by the bank concerned.
Further, bank branches / currency chests / treasuries are expected to detect
counterfeit banknotes at their end and not to include them in the remittances
sent to RBI Offices. RBI may consider the option of imposing penalty for the
value of counterfeit banknotes detected in the remittances received from the
currency chests from the date of last removal of soiled notes from them.
7. Establishment of Forged
Note Vigilance Cell at Head Office of the bank
Each bank shall establish at its
Head Office, a Forged (Counterfeit) Banknote Vigilance Cell to undertake the
following functions:
(1) To
disseminate RBI instructions on counterfeit banknotes to the branches.
(2) To
monitor the implementation of these instructions.
(3) To
compile the centralised data on monthly basis on the counterfeit banknotes detected
at their branches and report the same to RBI & NCRB in the enclosed format
(Annex III).
(4) To
share the information thus compiled with bank’s CVO and report to him/her all
cases of acceptance /issue of counterfeit banknotes over the counters.
(5) To
coordinate with the designated nodal officer.
(6) To
conduct periodically surprise checks at currency chests where shortages/ defective
/counterfeit banknotes etc are detected.
(7) To
ensure installation of Note Sorting Machines of appropriate capacity at all
the currency chests and closely monitor the detection of counterfeit banknotes
at currency chest branches.
(8) To
ensure that only properly sorted and examined banknotes are fed into the ATMs
and to put in place adequate safe guards both during the processing and in transit
of notes.
(9) Steps
taken in this regard to be advised to the Chief General Manager, Department
of Currency Management, Reserve Bank of India, Central Office, Mumbai 400001
on a quarterly basis, within a fortnight of the next month to which it belongs.
8. Provision of ultra-violet
lamps & other infrastructure
With a view to facilitating the
detection of counterfeit banknotes, all bank branches/ treasuries may be equipped
with ultra-violet lamps. All currency chest branches should be equipped with
verification, processing and sorting machines already conveyed to banks. The
banks may also consider providing other branches with verification, processing
and sorting machines of appropriate capacity for segregating soiled and suspected
counterfeit banknotes from bulk receipts as also at least one counting machine
(with dual display facility ) for public use at the counter.
9. Data compilation and
submission of returns
A statement as per Annex III –
(modified from the earlier format, incorporating the name of the State/UT where
the branch operates) showing the details of counterfeit banknotes detected in
the bank branches during the month shall be compiled and forwarded to the following
offices so as to reach them by 7th of the next month :
