INSTRUCTIONS

VOL. - 4

( DEPOSITS )

PART - I

UPDATED UPTO 30.11.2006

FOREWORD
Any financial entity is as strong or weak as the systems are. Therefore, in the liberalized and deregulated
environment, the sustenance of the Bank depends to a large extent on internal controls and compliance with
operational guidelines on a continuous basis. It is imperative that such guidelines are modified from time to time
to suit the ever changing socio-economic environment. As the bank comes out with circulars at frequent intervals,
it is simultaneously necessary to revise the manuals which codify the operational guidelines in a subject-wise and
organized manner.
The Banks Manuals of Instruction were last published in 1998. In order to keep pace with the changed
scenario, we have initiated steps to revise the manuals as under :
1.

Volume-I

Cash

2.

Volume-II

Remittance

3.

Volume-III

Bills

4.

Volume-IV

Deposits (Part-I, II & III)

Volume-V

6.

Volume-VI (I & II)

7.

Volume-VII

9.

Volume-VIII

Advance PS (SSI & Others)

10.

Volume-VIIIA

PMRY / SGSRY / Rural Housing Finance


Scheme / SLRS

11.

Volume-IX

Foreign Exchange

A separate Manual for Computerized branch operation has been circularized. Necessary efforts have been
put in to recast each of the manuals by incorporating the changes that took place during the intervening period of
more than five years. It is expected that the revised manuals will prove to be useful and refreshing to all the staff
members particularly for improving their operational efficiency and confidence. Though utmost care has been
taken in updating the manuals of instruction, any provision thereof which does not conform to the latest
instructions on the point may be brought to the notice of the concerned Department.
It is fervently hoped that these manuals will prove to be useful to the members of our staff for improving
the quality of their work through proper understanding of the significance of the tasks to be performed by them.

1.
GENERAL

1.2 In

current

accounts,
as

the

money
deposited
can

be

withdrawn
at any time,
as there is
no limit as
to

the

number of
withdrawal
s, there is
significant
work
involved
for

the

bank.
Considerin
g this, the
bank does
not pay any
interest on
such
accounts.

2 . HOW TO
OPEN AND
WHO MAY
OPEN THE

MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

UCO BANK

It is to be carefully noted by all branches/offices that non-adherence to the above discipline could be
perceived by RBI to be abetting the siphoning of funds and such violations would make the Bank
liable for penalty under Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
n) Where the due diligence is carried out on the request of a prospective customer who is a
corporate or large borrower enjoying credit facilities from more than one bank, the branch may
inform the consortium leader, if under consortium, and the concerned banks, if under multiple
banking arrangement.
Branches may open current accounts of prospective customers in case no response is received
from the existing bankers after a minimum waiting period of a fortnight. If a response is
received within a fortnight, branches should assess the situation with reference to information
provided on the prospective customer by the bank concerned and are not required to solicit a
formal no objection, consistent with true freedom to the customer of banks as well as needed
due diligence on the customer by branch.
Branches are advised to be guided by the need for effective due diligence in these matters as
also the objective of customer satisfaction and ensure prompt and serious attention to references
received from banks in this regard.
2 . 3 PHOTOGRAPHS
For all operative deposit accounts opened on or after January, 1, 1994, branches should obtain
photographs at the time of opening of the accounts of the deposits/account holders who are authorised
to operate the accounts. These photographs should be affixed on account opening forms and specimen
signature cards. Cost of such photographs would be borne by the customers. Operative deposit
accounts for this purpose would mean all deposit accounts which are operated by cheques.
Authorised operators would mean all the persons who are authorised to operate the account as per
declaration made at the time of opening of the account or as per declaration subsequently made by the
account holders in modification of their earlier instructions Authorised Operators would also mean
the persons who are authorised to operate the Bank account on behalf of the firm/ company as is
mentioned in the Deed/Memorandum & Article of Association or in similar other papers.

However, Banks, LIC, subsidiaries of GIC, Local authorities, Government departments, Semi
Government bodies, Provident Funds etc. would remain outside the purview of this requirement. This
requirement may also be waived for staff members opening current account, at the discretion of the
Branch/Managers.
2.4 Current account in the name of a minor should not normally be opened.
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

UCO BANK

2.5 A Current account should not be opened which is to be operated under a thumb impression, cross
marks or signature by hand of another person.
2.6 Nomination facility is available in respect of Current account of individuals and sole proprietorship
firms.
2.7 For the benefit of credit discipline, depositors while opening current account should be insisted upon
for furnishing a declaration that they are not enjoying any credit facility with any other bank or
declaration giving particulars of credit facilities enjoyed with other Banks. Our current account
opening form D-1 (Revised) already bears such a declaration clause.
Branches are not only to be meticulous in obtaining this declaration from the current account holders,
but also where the applicant is enjoying credit facility (fund based and non-fund based) from the
banking system, the account will not be opened without specifically obtaining a No Objection
Certificate from the leading bank.
2.8 Current account holders should be made well aware that they must not issue cheques without first
ensuring sufficient funds in their account to meet the amount of cheques, so issued. If they do not
adhere to the above financial discipline, they would incur criminal liability under the provision of
section 138 of NI Act, 1881. In addition, the Bank reserves right to take steps to get the account closed
if frequent return of cheques due to want of funds is noticed. A suitable clause to that effect has already
been incorporated into our current account rules.

2.9 Current account is meant for genuine banking requirements only and branches are to ensure that the
facility is not misused.

3 . INTRODUCTION
3.1 Every current account should be properly introduced.
3.2 Introduction of a current account is not merely a formality to get protection u/s 131 of NI Act, 1881,
but also to enable proper identification of the person(s) opening such account, so that it would be
possible to trace the person(s) later in case of need.
3.3 Full particulars of the introducer like full name, address, profession/business, Bank account number
etc. must be available to the bank and be properly recorded.
3.4 The introducer is usually expected to come to bank personally for the purpose. In exceptional
circumstances, when he is unable to call at the branch, the fact of having introduced a new account
should be confirmed by him in writing. For obtaining such confirmation,
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

UCO BANK

branch may, immediately on getting the account opened, write a letter to such introducer thanking him
for introducing the account and send the same by Registered Post.
3.5 When the account opening form bears the signature of Manager/official of other branch as introducer,
apart from verifying their signatures with the specimen signature available on record, a written
confirmation to that effect should be obtained from such introducer(s).
3.6 Till such time the confirmation is received, (as in case of point no. 3.4 and 3.5 above) branches should
not collect instruments through these newly opened accounts.
3.7 Such letters of confirmation must be well stitched with the Account Opening forms and be preserved.

3.8 Who can introduce a Current Account :


i)

Any current account holder whose account is at least six months old and is being operated in a
satisfactory manner.

ii) A responsible member of the locality, know to the Manager or any officer of the branch,
although the introducer himself may not be an account holder of the branch.
iii) Introductory letter from the commanding officer of the concerned military unit along with the
identity card of the military personnel shall serve the purpose of introduction.
iv) Any officer of the bank having signing power.
v) Any other confirmed staff member of the branch.
NB : Before accepting introduction from a member of staff, the Manager/Asst. Manager/ Officer in
charge of the Deposit Department should have a detailed discussion with the staff member
concerned as to what extant he knows the prospective account holder. Introduction from
member of staff should not be accepted unless after such discussion the Officer concerned is
satisfied that the staff member introducing and the introduced are sufficiently known to each
other to eliminate all possibility of accepting a fraudulent account in the books of the branch.

3.9 When an account is opened by a party who is not personally known to any of the Officers of the
branch, one of the not-too-junior employees of the branch living in the vicinity of
the new customer should be asked to make casual confidential inquiries about him and submit a report
on the following form, within 48 hours.

Such report should be insisted upon in all cases where the accounts opened are with initial deposit by
other than cash and/or with balances of Rs. 10,000/- and above. These reports should be held along
with the Account Opening Form of the party and should be followed by the usual detailed reports by
the Asst. Manager/Head Cashier.
3.10 The introducer should be required to sign at the column introduced by at the bottom of Account
Opening Form. In this connection the following points should be kept in view.
a) If the introducer is an account holder, his signature should be verified by officer concerned.

b) If the introducer is not an account holder but prominent member of local community known to
Manager or any other Officer of the branch, the Manager/Officer knowing the introducer should
give a certificate to the effect that introducer is known to him and signed in his presence.
c) If the introducer is a member of staff, he should sign introduction in his personal capacity and
not on behalf of the Bank.
Sometimes, the introduction has been signed in Account Opening Forms of customers as under :

account holder(s) should be required to fill up and sign account opening form and other papers
in the presence of officer concerned.

The account holder should be properly introduced as has been mentioned infra.

There are chances that a branch may receive request for opening an account whose title is same
or has great similarity to an existing account. In such cases the undernoted procedure should be
followed.
a) Accounts in the same name by different parties :
The branch can request the customer to slightly alter the title of his account or to use a
suffix.
Suppose branch is having an account in the name of M/s Ram Trading Company, who are
cloth merchants. Another party M/s Ram Trading Company, dealing in Iron and steel
approaches the branch for opening current account. In such case, branch may request the
second customer to add the word Steel Merchant in brackets after the title of the
account. In the same way, branch may request the first customer (who has already opened
the account) to add the work Cloth Merchant in brackets after the title of the account,
but only after explaining to him the situation, and that too, only if the account holder
agrees.
b) Account in same name by same party :
In case, an account holder already has one account titled Mohan Trading Co., Later the
same account holder wants to open another account in the same name i.e. Mohan Trading
Co. In such cases, branch should request the party to use the suffix like Account No. 1
and Account No. 2.

account opened is operated under signature in the regional language and it is possible to
get such signature verified by an officer at the branch. As far as possible, the person
witnessing the Vernacular Signature Indemnity Letter (D-43) should be an independent

birth should be noted thereon so that the dates on which they would attain the age of

For Kamal & Bros.
KAMAL NATH
Partner
Proprietor
d) Vernacular Indemnity Letter (Form D-43), wherever necessary, should be obtained.

V. Partnership Accounts :
a) Section 4 of Indian Partnership Act 1932, defines Partnership as the relation between
persons who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any of them
acting for all
b) When two or more persons join together to carry on a business, they form a partnership
firm.
c) Accounts may be opened in the of partnership provided;
In the case of a partnership carrying of banking business, the number of partners
does not exceed 10 and
In the case of any other partnership carrying on business with the object of making
gain the member of partners does not exceed 20.
Note : The number of persons forming a partnership should be computed as under :
1) where the partnership includes one or more firms among its members, the partners
constituting the firm should be added up individually as members of the
partnership.
2) Where a partnership includes a limited company the company is to be treated as
one member.
3) Where the partnership includes a Hindu Undivided Family, the number
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

18

UCO BANK

of adult coparceners of the family will be individually added up to ascertain the


strength of partnership.
d) Power of an individual partner to bind partnership firm between the firm and its
partners there is an implied agency, each partner being an agent of the firm for the
purposes of the partnership business. Each partner can therefore bind the firm and his
fellow partner or partners by all acts done in the usual course of their business. All
partners are not liable on contracts entered into by another partner of the firm outside the
scope of the business of the firm. Unless duly authorised by all the partners in writing no
partner has power to do the following.
1) Submit disputes relating to the firm to arbitration
2) Open a banking account on behalf of the firm in his own name.
3) Compromise or give up any claim by the firm.
4) Withdraw a suit filed by the firm.
5) Admit any liability in a suit or proceeding against the firm.
6) Acquire or transfer immovable property on behalf of the firm.
e) The implied power to bind the firm is however not affected by any secret arrangement
between the partners and any party who enters into contract made by a partner in the
usual course, will be entitled to enforce it against the firm, notwithstanding any limitation
of authority, provided he was ignorant of such limitation. Every partner in a trading firm
has an implied power to bind his co-partners by the drawing and endorsing of cheques,
drawing, accepting and endorsing of bills of exchange and making and endorsing of
promissory notes. He has also an implied power to borrow money on behalf of his firm
and sell or pledge any of stock in trade. However, such implied power cannot be inferred
where the Deed of Partnership is explicit on the powers of the partners. It is necessary
that signatures of all the partners are taken on any document charging immovable
property of the partnership as a cover for a loan or overdraft given in the firm. But, in the
non trading firm a partner has no such power unless his acts are authorised by his copartners.
f) A partner is entitled to open a banking account for the firms business provided he opens
it in the firms name but it is established banking practice to obtain the authority of all the
partners. Any one partner has power to countermand the payment of cheque drawn by
another. The death, retirement of bankruptcy of a partner ordinarily puts an end to the
partnership and as
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

19

UCO BANK

such the authority of any one partner as the agent of the firm is revoked. But the rights
and obligations of the surviving or remaining partners continue for the purpose of
winding up the business. They can therefore deal with the account for winding up the firm
and could consequently confirm any cheques outstanding at the time of death, retirement
or bankruptcy of one of the partners.
g) All partners should join to authorise an outside person to operate on the firms account
and in such cases a mandate to operate accounts signed by the partners is to be obtained.
h) A partner has no authority to pay the firms cheques into private account where a cheque,
even an open bearer cheque, drawn in favour of a firm is sought to be credited to the
partners private account. Bank should make proper inquiries from other partners since
the bank would be considered negligent if it did not make such enquiries in what
apparently appear to be irregular.
i)

In the case of a legal mortgage, all partners must sign, for the partner has no implied
power to bind his co-partners by executing a deed in the name of the firm, unless he is
specifically authorised to do so, in which case the authority itself would have to be by a
deed.

Execution of Guarantee by a Firm :


Where a firm signs jointly with another for the sole benefit of the latter, it would be necessary to have
the authority of all partners, because otherwise it might be held that the guaranteeing of loan was not
the ordinary business of the firm and therefore the partner was not competent to bind the firm.

Dissolution of a Firm :
a) Unless there is an agreement to the contrary, a partnership firm is dissolved on the death,
insanity or insolvency of a partner. In case of such an agreement, the firm will continue even in
the contingency mentioned earlier, as insanity by itself does not dissolve the firm but a partner
or near relative of the insane partner can file a petition in court for dissolution of the firm.
b) When a partnership a dissolved by death, retirement, insanity or bankruptcy the credit balance in
the firms account vests in the remaining partners, who can give the bankers a valid discharge
for the balance outstanding. They can however form a new partnership and open a fresh account.
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

20

UCO BANK

c) If the account is showing a debit balance at the time of death, insanity, retirement or bankruptcy
of a partner, the operation of firms account should be stopped to preserve the banks right
against the estate of the partner who has died, retired, became insane or bankrupt. If this is not
done the Claytons case will operate.

Claytons Case : Its importance


The important old case has left two lessons
1) Where a debtor keeps two or more accounts with a creditor and pays such a creditor a sum of money in
reduction, the debtor has the right to allocate or appropriate his payment to such account as he may
choose. If the debtor does not exercise this right of appropriation, the creditor is free to do.
2) The rule in Claytons case is of great importance to bankers. The rule is as follows :
In a running account payments in are presumed to be appropriated to payments out
in the order in which the items occur
In a credit account therefore, credits are paid in before debits are paid and the money paid into the
bank is regarded as being available to meet the debits in date order. In an overdrawn account the
credits paid in are similarly allocated towards repayment of the debts and therefore in reduction of the
overdraft. This reduction is often concealed by the payment of fresh debits. The avoid the operation of
the rule, an overdrawn account must be ruled off on notice of certain events (notice of a second
mortgage, notice of death of a partners, expiry of notice of termination of a guarantee) to protect the
banks position. A new account must be opened to continue the customers business and will normally
be maintained in credit. The overdrawn balance of the old account is left as it stands and must not be
taken into account in the working of the new account. If the overdrawn account is not broken in this
way as the running account continues to operate, credits as they are paid in are deemed to repay the old
overdraft while fresh debits, as they are paid gradually build up a new overdraft which is not secured
or in respect of which there is no claim against a person or his estate.

Registration of a firm :
Registration, though not compulsory is advisable. A firm which is not registered cannot enforce its
claims against third parties on the Civil Courts and any partner of the firm cannot enforce his claims
against third parties or his fellow partners. Where a firm is not registered, the Act does not make any
agreement between the partners or any transaction between the partners and third parties void but it
only denies the right of suit. The Act however does not affects the rights of a third party to sue the firm
on any contract even though the firm is unregistered.
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

UCO BANK

Minor admitted to the benefits of Partnership :


a) Minors have no contractual capacity. But a minor can be appointed as an attorney of a person. A
minor cannot be a partner of a firm but can be admitted to the benefits of partnership, but for
debits of the firm, only his share in the firm is liable and the minor cannot be personally held
liable nor can his other property, if any, be attached for debts of the firm.
b) The date of birth of the minor partner should be noted in the partnership letter and the account
opening form should be recorded in the Register of Date of Birth of minors. As soon as the
minor attains the age of majority, it is essential, that a fresh partnership letter is obtained as he
becomes full fledged partner fully liable for the acts of the firm like other partners. A minor shall
give notice within six months after attaining the age of majority as to his election to be in the
partnership.
Documents to be taken :
a) Account Opening Form. The indemnity letter for collection of bills cheques etc. have been
incorporated in the account opening form itself.
b) The Partnership Deed in original for inspection and registration in the books of the of the branch
(in the Power of Attorney Register) and retaining a properly
authenticated copy of it.
OR
When there is no written Partnership Deed and when the account is to run in credit only and the
partners are not willing to register their Partnership Deed with Bank, Partnership Letter (A-5)
signed by all the partners of the firm.
c) A certified copy of the Certificate of Registration issued by the Registrar of Firms, if the firm is
registered under the Indian Partnership Act. (In case the firm is not registered under the said Act,
the fact is required to be confirmed by the partners in a declaration in the Account Opening
Form).
If a certified copy is not available, the Certificate of Registration should be called for in original
for inspection and returned and one authenticated copy thereof retained with the Bank.
Note : The purpose of calling for the certificate of Registration or its certified copy is to check
up and ensure that the Account Opening Form is signed by all the partners of the firm.
Execution of Documents :
1) Account Opening Form should be signed by all partners in their personal names as shown under :

any operations which are not mentioned in the memorandum of Association.

(iii) Certificate of Registration :


According to Companies Act, all limited companies must be registered with the registrar
of Joint Stock Companies. Once the Certificate of Registration is issued to the company,
it is entitled to commence business.
Original of Certificate of Registration should be returned after inspection but a true copy
thereof duly authenticated by Officer concerned should be kept in branch files.
Note : In case of Private Limited Companies, this Certificate is not required.
(iv) Board Resolution :
This is a kind of statement given by Board of Directors resolving that account be opened
with the named bank and stating as to who will open and operate on the account and do
other acts such as dealing with securities deposited with bank etc.
This resolution should be passed on the lines suggested on the Account Opening Form. A
copy of resolution certified to be true copy by Chairman and another competent official
of the company should be kept on branch files and operation on the account allowed in
terms of this Resolution.
Note : The resolution itself will contain a clause as to which officers are competent to certify copy
of resolution as correct and true copy. Branches in this connection are referred to clause
(f) in the proforma of resolution on the Account Opening Form.
(v) A certified list of the Present Directors should be obtained. The company should be
requested to notify changes, if any, from time to time and also to supply published
balance sheets.
Note : The signature of the Chairman of the company on the certified copy of the resolution of its
Board of Directors authorising the bank to open the account and or of its
Director(s)/Secretary or any other authorised Officer (s) of the company in the Account
Opening Form or other documents executed for or on behalf of the company or appearing
in documents sent by it for examination or filling with the bank should, as far as possible,
be known to the branch and in any case, must be verified to the satisfaction of the
Manager before opening the account of or having any dealing with the company.
Special Precautions in case of Limited Company Accounts :
a) Instances have occurred where unscrupulous persons have succeeded in opening accounts in the names
of companies with spurious copies of the Memorandum and
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

26

UCO BANK

Articles of Association and Certificates of Incorporation/Commencement of Business etc. and


encashing cheques through such accounts drawn in favour of or payable to a real company with
identical or very similar names.
b) While agreeing to open accounts of limited companies, the branches should take following
precautions.

It should be ensured that the directors of the company are well known and respectable people
and the chairman and/or one or more of the directors of the company are personally known to
Manager or to a responsible officer of the branch.

In the ordinary course of business, the rule should be that no account of a limited company is
opened in the books of a branch whose directors are not known to the Manager or to any of its
other responsible officers. Where, in special cases, such an account is opened after proper
introduction by a respectable and creditworthy constituent, immediate steps should be taken to
make independent enquiries regarding the company and its directors. And pending the
completion of such enquiries no cheques should be accepted for collection in the account of the
company or withdrawals allowed against them.

Except in the case of old established or well-known companies or new companies whose
directors are well-know in business circles, or are known to the Manager, a check up of the
records of the company in the office of the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies both with regard
to the names of its directors and to verify the correctness of the documents lodged by the
company for the opening of their account with the branch should be made.

In case the Registered Office of the company is situated in a centre other than
the one where the branch is established, the check up as referred to above may be
made through a sister branch.

Acting as Bankers to Newly Floated Companies :


a) A branch should not agree to act as bankers to a company to be floated without the prior approval of
Head Office. Whenever a branch is approached for including our banks name in the prospectus of the
company as their banker, a urgent reference should be made to Head Office, giving details regarding
its worth and credit worthiness of each director. While advising its approval Head Office will also
advise the charges to be recovered from the company in this regard.
b) Where the company desires that all branches of our bank should handle applications of its shares,
Head Office should be informed in time to enable it to issue necessary circular. Precise information
should be furnished with regard to dates on which the list opens and
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

27

UCO BANK

closes as well as branch to whom proceeds of application money should be remitted. Application
forms for share should be supplied to the branches directly.
c) After obtaining permission from Head Office for opening account in the name of a newly floated
company, branch should open the account in the name of the company and all amounts received as
application money should be credited to this account. Operation on this account should not be allowed
unless the company obtains and produces the certification on incorporation.
d) Allotment money should not be received unless special arrangements are made for the purpose.

VII. Accounts of Clubs, Societies, Associations, Schools etc.

These bodies whether registered under the Societies Registration Act or not are governed by
their Memorandum and Articles of Association or Constitution or Bye Laws. It should be noted
that these bodies, if not registered, have no legal entity.

The following documents should be obtained :


a) Account Opening Form (D-1) should be signed by person (s) authorised to open and
operate on the account in their capacity as officer bearer such as :
For Mohan Sports Club

Secretary, Chairman
The declaration B of the account opening form should be signed by the Chairman/
President and the Secretary of the Society/ Club etc. i.e. by the office bearers, who have
signed the resolution authorizing the opening of the account. The blanks appearing in the
paragraph should be duly filled in by mentioning the name(s) of the person(s) authorized
to open the account.
b) Indemnity Letter for collection of bills, cheques etc. has been incorporated in the AOF.
c) Vernacular signature Indemnity Letter (D-43), wherever necessary, should be obtained.
Note : Where account of a club, association, society etc. is to be operated by person(s) signing
in vernacular, it is necessary to obtain the resolution authorising the opening and
operation of account, specific authority in favour of the person(s) concerned to operate
on the account by signing in vernacular. In doing so, it should be seen that the
important provisions of Indemnity Letter (D-43) are incorporated in the resolution so
as to

MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

28

UCO BANK

give adequate protection to the bank for allowing such operations on the account.
d) A copy of the constitution and Bye-Laws certified to be true and latest by the Secretary
and/or other authorised persons should be obtained.
e) A copy of the Certificate of Registration with the original should be obtained. Original
may be returned after inspection and copy duly authenticated by Officer concerned kept
on branch files.
f) A copy of the resolution certified as true copy by the Chairman and counter-signed by the
Secretary authorizing the opening and operation of the account and specifying the mode
of operation should be allowed in terms of this resolution.
g) In case of co-operative societies, approval of Registrar of co-operative Societies to open
the account with the bank, if required by Co-operative Societies Act of that state, should
be obtained. Sometimes the Registrar, while giving such permission may impose
conditions on such account, for instance, the Registrar may allow such accounts upto a
certain maximum limit or for a limited period. Such conditions should be carefully noted
by branch and any violation there of by Society should not be permitted.
h) Accounts of Funds which have no regular rules drawn up and are held only temporarily
may be allowed to be opened in individual name(s) of reliable person(s) of standing and
status with the additional words such as Cyclone Fund, Sports Fund, Memorial
Fund etc. Before allowing opening of such accounts, Manager must be thoroughly
satisfied with the bonafides of the party and the circumstances under which such an
account is opened.
VIII. Trust Accounts
a) In case of Trust Account, sums deposited with the bank for credit of an account are, in the
absence of any notice or circumstance putting the bank on notice, presumed to be the property of
the depositor and any claim of any other party, subsequently, to right, title and interest in the
said deposit shall not be recognised by the bank, and such a claimant could only look to the
depositor for redress.
In other words, where there is no such notice, the mere fact that, unknown to the bankers,
moneys are held by the depositor in a fiduciary capacity in no way affects the bankers right to
treat them as the absolute property of the depositor. But if the banker has such notice, either
from information or otherwise, prior to acceptance of the deposit or after that the account is
affected with a Trust, express or implied,
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

29

UCO BANK

and that the customer is in possession, or has control, of the money in a fiduciary capacity, he
must regard the money and account strictly in that light and refuse to accept the deposit or
continue it except strictly under its true nature.
Therefore, due diligence and care should be taken while opening current account in the name of
a Trust.
b) Great care is required in conducting trust accounts as in the event of breach of trust by the
trustees, the bank may render itself liable.
c) In the absence of express provisions in the Trust Deed to the contrary.
(vi) All the trustees must sign cheques in the account.
(vii)

Trustees cannot delegate their authority to anyone or more of themselves or to third

parties.
(viii)

Trustees have no implied power to borrow for the purpose of trust.

d) The following documents should be obtained :


Account Opening Form (D-1) duly signed by all the trustees.
(Indemnity Letter for collection of bills and cheques etc. has been incorporated in the
Account Opening Form.)
Vernacular Language Indemnity Letter (D-43), wherever necessary, duly signed by all the
Trustees.
Note : Where account of a trust is to be operated by person(s) signing in vernacular, it is necessary
to obtain in the resolution authorising the opening and operation of accounts, specific
authority in favour of the person(s) concerned to operate on the accounts by signing in
vernacular. In doing so, it should be seen that the important provisions of our Indemnity
Letter (D-43) are incor-porated in the resolution so as to give adequate protection to the
bank for allowing such operation on the account.
Trust Deed in original. A certified true copy of the Deed should be held in branch records and
original returned after inspection.
A resolution signed by all the trustees for opening and operation of the account.
Note : Operation in the account is to be allowed strictly in terms of the Trust Deed. Unless
operation on the account by a lesser number of trustee is authorised specifically in the
Trust Deed all the trustees should be required to operate upon the account jointly.

IX.

Executors and Administrators Accounts :


a) An Executor is the person appointed in a will by the testator to administer his estate according to
the instructions of his will. The will has to be probated in the court. The court will issue under
its seal and signature of competent official Probate Letter which certifies that the original will
was duly proved on a certain date and to this is attached a certified copy of the will of which
probate has been granted.
b) Where a deceased has left no will or an executor is not named in the will, the court may appoint
an Administrator to deal with the estate of deceased and to wind up his affairs.
c) The duties of both are practically the same except that an Administrator settles the deceaseds
affairs according to law while the Executor settles them according to the terms of the will. The
will or letter of administration therefore comprise the authority of the representatives of the
deceased to deal with his estate and the branch should be thoroughly acquainted with the
contents of the relevant documents before it can open an account for them.
d) Account Opening Form (D-1), Specimen Signature Card and Indemnity Letter for collection of
bills and cheques etc. should be signed by Executor/Administrator.
e) If there are more than one Executor/Administrator, account should be opened in the joint names
of all the Executors/Administrators as follows :
A and B Executors to the Estate of C Deceased.
OR
A and B Administrators to the Estate of C deceased.
All of them should be required to sign Account Opening Form and other documents.
f) Original Probate Order and Will/Letter of Administration should be called for perusal and be
returned and a certified copy thereof should be kept on branch records. The date of the Probate
or Letter of Administration and the name of the court granting it and a brief note of the powers
of the Executors/Administrators should be entered in the ledger folio.
Note : Branches should be very careful in opening accounts in the name of Executors or
Administrators and should thoroughly acquaint themselves with the documents
appointing them and should have no dealing with the estate, until the Official Probate
or Letter of Administration has been produced.
g) Legally, any Executor or Administrator can deal with the funds of the estate on behalf of the
others, unless there is an arrangement to the contrary, but it is always better,

MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

31

UCO BANK

when opening an account, to get a letter of authority signed by all the Executors/ Administrators
embodying precise instructions as to how cheques and bills etc. are to be signed and endorsed. If
such a letter of authority distinctly provides that cheques are to be signed by two or more of
several executors/administrators, the signature of one should not be accepted and should the
letter of authority be subsequently revoked by one of the parties, cheques must be signed by all
of them thereafter, unless they jointly authorise otherwise. Notwithstanding any arrangement to
the contrary, if an Executor or Administrator notifies the bank that cheques are to be signed by
all the parties, the bank must carry out such instructions.
Note : Although Executors/Administrators may delegate their authority to one of them, they
cannot empower an outside person to operate on the account and such authority must
not be accepted.

1 0 . SPECIAL PRECAUTION IN OPENING ACCOUNT OF SOLE PROPRIETARY FIRMS


AND UNREGISTERED PARTNERSHIP FIRMS
10.1 In view of the fact that registration of firms is not compulsory under Indian law, very few firms of
either of the above two types get themselves registered. In opening account of such firms. branches are
not able, on the reference to the records of the Registrar of Firms, to authenticate or get verification of
the constitution of the firms and of the declaration of the persons claiming themselves to be the sole
proprietors or partners of the firm. The branches therefore have in a very large measure to depend upon
the unauthenticated declaration of the persons claiming to be their sole proprietors or partners.
10.2 The risk that may be involved in opening accounts of firms in this manner and in handling their
collection business cannot be overstated. Accounts of bogus firms may be opened or
false declarations may be made by the so-called sole proprietors or partners about the constitution of
the firms with the purpose of getting collected through their accounts cheques and other negotiable
instruments belonging to genuine firms with similar names but to which the firms in question have a
defective title or no title at all. Branches thus run the risk of being charged for conversion by the true
owners of the negotiable instruments handled and collected and may be even denied the statutory
protection available to banks in the matter of collection of crossed cheques on behalf of their
customers under section 131 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
10.3 In order that branches may be able to resist charges of conversion and may successfully lay claim to
the statutory protection, referred to above, they should take the following steps and precautions in the
opening of accounts, particularly accounts of the firms of the type under reference.
a) An account of the firm should be opened only if introduced by a party of high
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

32

UCO BANK

business integrity, possessed of good means and who is fully known to the branch. It must also
be ensured that the person introducing the account is in no way directly or indirectly connected
with the firm or the partners of the firm.
b) Simultaneously with the opening of the account of a firm, confidential credit checking should be
made from the market and other sources to verify the correctness of the constitution of the firm
as declared in the Account Opening Form. The result of such credit checking should be recorded
in the folder of the account and other relevant records of the bank.
c) Our foreign branches, if registration of firms is compulsory under the local laws
of the

places at which they are established, should make a search in the office

of the
Registrar of Firms to verify the correctness of the constitution of the
firms, as declared by their partners or as may be given in their Account Opening Forms.

1 1 . STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT/PASS BOOK


11.1 Statements of accounts should be supplied to current account holders once a month or at shorter
intervals if they so desire. They should be sent by post or through bank messenger unless constituents
call at the bank personally to receive them.
11.2 While writing statements of accounts, the following points should be noted :
a) They should be written regularly. The work should not be allowed to fall in arrears. Whenever
the work of the ledger is not heavy and the ledger keeper has sometime to spare, he should
devote his time in preparing statements of accounts.
b) They should be written accurately, legibly and neatly. Brief and intelligible particulars of
transactions must be recorded therein.
c) Care should be taken to see that no entry is missing.
d) Statement should be ended with closing debit and credit summations and a closing balance. If
statement runs into number of pages each page should contain debit and credit summations and
a balance. The closing debit and credit summations and summations at the end of each page
should be done independently and verified with closing balance and tallied with summations in
the ledger. This will prevent possible omission of any entry through oversight or error in
copying the entries.
e) The final balance shown in statement should be written in words also.
11.3 The statement should be initialed by the Ledger Keeper in token of his having correctly copied the
entries from the ledger.
Note : Manager/Asst. Manager should ensure that statement of accounts are in fact
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

33

UCO BANK

initialed by the ledger keepers before these are delivered to account holders, For this
purpose, a test check of some of the statement of accounts, may be made at random basis
from time to time by Officer concerned Manager/Asst. Manager or by any other officer
authorised to do so.
11.4 The ledger keeper should affix on ledger folio a rubber stamp Statement sent on
Against the last entry up to which statement has been sent and initial it.

11.5 The statement of account should thereafter be entered in Statement of Account Register and
delivered to customer in person or sent to despatcher against his initials in Register.
11.6 In case of big accounts having large number of daily operations and who required the statements of
their accounts to be sent to them either daily or biweekly, it would be advantageous, if the branches
maintain ledgers with duplicate folios where one page of the ledger may serve as statement of account.
The folios of such ledgers will be in duplicate. The first page printed on the ledger paper will remain
fastened to the bound ledger and the duplicate printed on a thin ordinary paper will have perforation.
After a page is completed that duplicate perforated sheet should be torn from the ledger and sent to the
account holder, after the entries in the statement have been initialed by the Ledger Keeper as
mentioned above. It should be noted that such ledgers should be used for keeping highly operative
accounts where the number of operations are not less than 15 to 20 per day. One side of the ledger
folio as also of the statement of account will remain blank.

Note : Such ledgers should be written with a ball point pen and good carbon should always be used for
a clear and legible impression on the copy meant to be sent to the account holders as
statements of accounts. Faint and illegible impression will only annoy the account holder and
sending of such statements of account will, in a large measure, defeat the purpose of this
procedure.
11.7 At the request of account holder, pass book may be issued in lieu of statement of account and this
fact should be noted in the ledger. For instructions regarding handling of pass books, refer Chapter No.
II Savings Bank Deposits.

1 2 . TRANSFER OF ACCOUNTS
12.1 Bonafide accounts may be transferred from one branch to another free of charge. But if an account
was recently opened with the deliberate object to transfer funds from one place to another free of
charge, a demand for the transfer of the account should be complied with on reasonable charge being
paid by the party.
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

34

UCO BANK

12.2 Instructions of a customer for transfer of his account to another branch must be carried out
immediately on receipt of, and in accordance with, the instructions. It must be ensured that along with
the balance of the account, the relative Account Opening Form, Standing Instructions etc. are also
simultaneously sent, under advice, without fail, to the customer, care being taken to ensure that the
advise is sent to him both at his last and present addresses. Failure to carry out the work relating to
transfer of an account promptly and in entirety causes great inconvenience to account holder and
affects banks image adversely.

12.3. Transferor Branch

from another branch, it should take up the matter with the transferor branch by letter/telegram, on
branch account, in case it has not received the balance of the account and/or other related papers even
after a reasonable transit time.

1 3 . UNDESIRABLE ACCOUNTS
13.1 Accounts with petty balance frequently running below the prescribed minimum, cause a strain out of
proportion to the value of accounts to the bank. Such accounts may
therefore, be closed after giving due notice, to the constituents concerned that unless they maintain at
all times the minimum balance in their accounts commencing from, say a fortnight from the date of
notice, their accounts would be closed without further reference to them. On expiry of the notice
period, if an account has not been regularised, it may be closed and a Pay Order for the balance sent to
the constituent by registered post with a request in the relative covering letter to return the unused
cheques leaves in his possession. It should, however, be understood

that

encashment

of Pay Order should not be refused because the party has not

yet

surrendered

the unused cheque leaves to the bank.


Note : Manager should use their discretion in the matter and in case of constituents, who give other
remunerative business or whose connections are for any other reason worth retaining, no
action need be taken about closing of such accounts.
13.2 Another type of undesirable and often dangerous account is that of constituents, who issue cheque,
without funds in their accounts, to meet them. It is essential that constituents, who are frequently guilty
of such practice should be warned that a repetition of such a conduct would result in their accounts
being closed. If after, say two warnings, they party still persists in such undesirable practice, a final
notice may be sent advising that
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

39

UCO BANK

account will be closed after a certain period, say, fortnight from date of this notice, On expiry of notice
period account should be closed and a Pay Order for the balance sent to the constituent by Registered
post with a request in the covering letter to return the unused cheques leaves in his possession.
13.3 Some constituents follow the practice of issuing cheques in anticipation of realisation of effects sent
by them or who pay in funds almost always at the last moment to meet cheques already presented.
Even effort should be made to discourage this unhealthy practice.
(For detailed instruction, kindly also refer to Chapter No. XII Return on Cheques)

1 4 . CLOSING OF ACCOUNTS
14.1 Wherever possible, a letter should be taken from the account holder requesting the bank to close his
account. His signature on the letter should be verified.
14.2 Charges, if any, to be recovered should be debited to the account.

can be accepted for collection. Even in such cases, only those cheques, demand drafts and dividend
warrant should be collected as are made out or drawn in favour of the account holder and not endorsed
to him i.e. cheques and other instruments drawn in favour of third parties are not to be credited to
Savings Bank accounts.

must be transmitted only by means of Registered post failing which the Bank will be absolved of all
liability arising from any fraud in respect of such instruments being lost or stolen in transit.

UCO BANK

amount of such a withdrawal slip provided the withdrawal slip is accompanied by the relative
pass book and is presented by the concerned depositor himself. There is no restriction on
amount of withdrawals in cheque operated accounts.
11.4 Withdrawals in Savings Bank accounts whether by cheque or withdrawal slip can only be permitted
against sufficient balance and in no case against cheques etc. in course of collection.
11.5 In making the withdrawal, whether by cheque or withdrawal slip, an account holder must see that no

11.6 Every withdrawal slip/cheque should bear the number of the account. In case of cheques, at the time
of issuing of cheque book, account number should be written by branch on each cheque leaf under the
initial of Officer concerned.
11.7 No withdrawal by withdrawal slip is permissible unless the relative passbook is presented
simultaneously with the withdrawal slip.
However, there may be unusual circumstances when our insistence upon the production of passbook
would seriously inconvenience a valued account holder. Discretion has
been given to Manager to allow withdrawal without pass book. Such discretion is to be used very
sparingly and only under such circumstances as would otherwise cause great hardships to the depositor
and where the depositor is personally known to the Manager.
The procedure to be followed for permitting such withdrawals is as hereunder :
a) A special withdrawal form (DS-3A) should be used by depositor. In case of joint accounts, this form,
must be signed by all persons, as stipulated in the Account Opening Form.
b) A Register, as per specimen given below, should be maintained to record all cases of issuing
withdrawal slip in Form DS-3A.

(7)

c) The register should be under the frequent scrutiny of the Manager in order to ensure that there is no
unusual delay on the part of the account holder in presenting the pass book to be written upto date and
in cases, where necessary, the matter should be followed up with the account holder so that column 6
of the register does not remain blank for long.

MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

65

UCO BANK

d) Withdrawal by withdrawal slip (DS-3A) should be permitted under the above conditions only to the
account holder himself. In other words the account holder must call personally for withdrawing from
his Savings Bank Account by means of withdrawal slip in Form (DS-3A).
e) Where an account holder fails to produce his pass book after being allowed to withdraw from his
account by means of withdrawal slip (DS-3A), no further withdrawal by another such withdrawal slip
should be permitted until unless the relative pass book is produced for entry.
f) Whenever a withdrawal is permitted against a withdrawal slip in Form (DS-3A) a note
should be made against the corresponding entry in the ledger, Not entered in the pass book.

1 1 . 8 Principles and precautions for payment through withdrawal slip :


a) It is to be noted that Withdrawal slip is not a Negotiable Instrument. Thus, the provision of NI
Act, 1881 will not be applicable to withdrawal slip. It is an internal instrument of the Bank
containing authority of depositor to withdraw money from the account and it is devised for
convenience in operation in Savings Bank account.
b) Normally, a withdrawal slip should be presented along with the relative pass book by the
depositor himself/herself or one of the depositors in case of joint accounts and by the authorised
operator in case of accounts of club/society etc.
c) In the exceptional circumstances, payment can be made, at the sole discretion of the branch, to
the bearer of the withdrawal slip, provided that

The withdrawal slip is presented along with the relative pass book

The branch is satisfied about the genuineness of the reason for the depositor/ authorised
operator not being in a position to come to branch for doing the transaction.

The bearer is well known to the branch

The amount to be withdrawn through bearer of the withdrawal slip does not exceed Rs.
5000/- only.

Permission to pay to bearer of the withdrawal slip shall be granted by the Manager/Asst.
Manager/Officer-in-charge of Deposit department.

d) Normally a withdrawal slip has to be pesented at the branch for payment on the same date on
which it is drawn. Under exceptional circumstances, where the
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

66

UCO BANK

withdrawal slip is presented through a Bearer (as provide in point no. c above), the branch at
its sole discretion may make payment against a withdrawal slip within a maximum of two
working days, following the date on which it is drawn, provided that

The branch is satisfied that the depositor is not in a position to draw a fresh withdrawal
slip on the day of presentation.

That no payment against the ante-dated withdrawal slip would put the depositor or his
family into great inconvenience.

That all the terms and conditions of point no. c above are satisfied.

e) Primarily, the withdrawal slip is used for withdrawing cash from a savings bank account.
However, a withdrawal slip can also be used as a debit authority for internal transfer of fund
from one account to another or for the purpose of remittances within the same branch. In such
cases, the depositor has to specifically mention the way of disposal of fund on the reverse of
withdrawal slip or on a separate piece of paper attached to the withdrawal slip.
f) No withdrawal slip of any other branch should be accepted for the purpose of clearing,
collection or purchase. This restrictions would be equally applicable to the withdrawal slips,
drawn by staff members on their account.

The receipt should advise the customer the date when he will come to the bank and collect the pass
book. The receipt form is to be prepared in duplicate, one copy to be handed over to the customer

6 . Interest calculation in irregular/discontinued Recurring Deposit Account


6.1 Methodology for calculation of interest in irregular discontinued Recurring Deposit
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

94

UCO BANK

Accounts (whether paid before or after due date) is changed now in view of the tedious calculation
involved in certain method. A simpler method has been introduced where interest is calculated on
monthly products reckoned on minimum balance lying in the account between tenth and last day of the
month. This means that the methodology is similar to that applicable to Savings Bank Account except
that interest rate is dependent on the period for which the deposit has remained with the bank and
whether it is being withdrawn before the due date. Penalty as applicable is to be levied to the interest
rate applicable for the period for which the deposit has remained with the Bank. Where such
withdrawal is made after due date, interest would be calculated at the contracted rate up to the due date
in the similar manner.
The extant guidelines in respect of penalty to levied to the interest rate on premature withdrawal of
term deposits are as under :
For deposit amount of

Penalty

Less than Rs.15 lacs

No penalty

Rs.15 lacs & upto Rs.1 crore

1% p.a.

Above Rs.1 crore

Applicable card rate for non-incentive deposits for the


period of the deposit kept with the bank will be paid.

As the amount is less than Rs. 15 Lakhs, as per extant guidelines no penalty is applicable on the deposit.
Hence, the interest rate applicable will be that applicable for the actual period, the deposit remained with the
Bank, i.e. from 21st April 2005 till 1st January 2007 which is 20 completed months. Hence the rate
applicable for this period as on the date of opening of the account is the one applicable for 1 year and above

issue, the period for which the deposit has been accepted, the due date and also the applicable rate of
interest.
1.2 Fixed Deposit, Kuber Yojana and Deposit Certificate are the old deposit schemes, of our Bank coming
under term deposits as they are repayable after an agreed period. The interest of the deposit is
payable either periodically (for FDR) or at maturity (for KY and DC). The minimum amount accepted
under this scheme is Rs. 1000/- for FDR, Kuber Yojana and Deposit Certificate and the agreed period
of deposit should be 15 days or more but should not exceed 10 years (120 months). However the Bank
shall accept deposits for a minimum period of 7 days, provided the deposit amount is Rs. 15 lakhs or
more. Further under Court Orders deposits can be accepted for more than 10 years.
1.3 Kuber Yojana is a scheme for Fixed Deposit where interest on Fixed Deposit is compounded at
quarterly intervals, principal with interest payable on maturity.
1.4 Deposit Certificate is actually a Kuber Yojana and the rules are same as applicable to Kuber Yojana
scheme. Only major difference is its issue price will be in fraction of rupee and the maturity value will
be in round sum.
1.5 Each Fixed deposit/Kuber Yojana/Deposit Certificate is a separate contract between the bank and the
depositor.
1.6 Generally, the longer the period of term deposit the higher is the rate of interest.
1.7 Fixed Deposits can be accepted for odd amounts and for odd periods but is subject to the stipulated
minimum period and amount.
1.8 The deposits in the name of minors can be accepted for more than 10 years i.e. till he/
she attains majority provided the branches are otherwise satisfied to the effect that the funds deposited
are to safeguard the interests of the minors and the branches are convinced that it is necessary to do so.
Direction of court/tribunal for accepting such a deposit of longer period is also to be accepted as a
mandate by the Bank.

holder. It is essential that the introducer should know fully well the prospective account holder whom
he is introducing. The introducer should be in a position to identify or be able to give more particulars
about the account holder from his personal knowledge, should there arise any occasion at a later date.
This is to be brought to the attention of the introducer. In other words, it is absolutely essential for the

MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

107

UCO BANK

3.4 It should be borne in mind that a person who introduces an Account holder to the bank is
in no way responsible for any act of the Account holder or a Bank as for that matter in his dealings
with the said account holder. Bank also cannot defend its action on the ground that a responsible and
respectable person signed the account opening form as an introducer and that there was no cause for
suspecting the bonafide of the customer. It is reiterated that a reference from a third person as an
introducer is only a means and not an end in itself in the matter of opening new account.
3.5 Branches should consider Passports, Personal Identity Cards as adequate introduction for Opening
Accounts in the name of such passport Identity Card Holders. However, photostat copies of passport
Identity Cards should not be considered as adequate introduction. Particulars of passport and identity
cards are to be noted in the introduction column of the ledger after certifying from the original.
3.6 Reserve Bank of India has advised all banks to follow uniform procedure in respect of accounts
opened with them by the employees of other banks. Whenever an employee of another bank opens an

special attention to following :
a) Account is properly introduced
b) Full name and address of the account-holder has been given

proceeds) and C (Declaration of Joint Account Holders, as to premature payment, premature
extension and granting of loan against deposit).

MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

109

UCO BANK

relevant clause of Savings Bank account)

Signature Card have been signed by all the joint account holders. (For detailed instructions,
please refer Chapter-XV Account of Joint Persons)
5.9 a) Nomination facility is available to depositors. Banks should obtain separate nomination form
for each Term Deposit Receipt (TDR). It is irregular and risky to add the details of TDR issued
to the depositor subsequently, in the nomination form obtained at the time of the first TDR. The
nomination form is a statutorily prescribed document bearing a specific date and thus valid for
the transaction(s) covered on that specific date as executed by the depositor. (For details refer
the chapter on Nomination in Part-III).
b) In case of minors account, whether self operated or otherwise nomination should be made by a
person lawfully entitled to act on behalf of the minor.

5.10 In case of joint Accounts, as per guidelines issued by IBA, branches may obtain from joint
depositors, if they so agree, letter duly signed by all of them for opening a term deposit account, which
would allow the bank to make premature payment or a loan against a deposit in joint name of
either/the former/the latter/any one or to the survivor(s). Such a letter where obtained is to be
considered as an integral part of the set of account opening form in respect of the Joint Deposit
Account, when signed by all depositors it will be legally permissible and valid for the bank to allow
payment of a loan against a term deposit under a discharge as per directions in the letter of
authorisation. The joint deposits should be advised that such letter when signed only help the in prematurely encashing and raising a loan even without discharge of all the Joint Depositors. The format of
the letter is reproduced below :

5.11 The Fixed Deposit and Time deposit application form as well as Specimen Signature Card should be
carefully scrutinised by the Officer concerned and if he is satisfied that all the particulars are properly
written, he should sign the Fixed and Time deposit application form and Specimen Signature Card. He
should also fill in columns about state of operation i.e. singly or jointly and name of account at the left
hand bottom corner of Specimen Signature Card.
If any cage is left blank in Specimen Signature Card, a small curvy line in ink should be drawn in the
cage so that there is no chance of it being misused.
5.12 For paying in money as deposit there is no need to fill in pay-in-slip separately. The application form
DT-2 serves as pay-in-slip as well. But the customer sending a letter of authority requesting for
issuance of a term deposit receipt to the debit of the account should send
a cheque along with the letter
application for (DT-2)
any other requisite papers
The signature of customer on the letter requesting issue of Fixed Deposit receipt should be verified and
initialled by authorised officer. A debit voucher should be prepared for the amount of the Fixed
Deposit. The letter should be cancelled with an oblique line with notation EP for entry passed. The
cancellation should be dated and initialled by the Officer signing the debit voucher and letter should be
attached to the relative debit voucher.
Sometimes a customer may send through a messenger a cheque drawn payable to the bank for issuing
a Fixed Deposit Receipt. In such cases, the cheque should be accom-panied by a covering letter
requesting issuance of Fixed Deposit Receipt and containing all other necessary particulars. The
covering letter should be signed by the person(s) authorised to operate on the account. Without such
authority, the cheque should not be utilised to issue Fixed Deposit receipt as tendering of cheque in
favour of the bank is no authority to issue Fixed Deposit Receipt by debiting the drawers account.
5.13 Fixed and Time deposit application form (DT-2) bears two distinct parts, the top portion serves as
Application form-cum-credit voucher whereas the lower portion contains (A) Declaration regarding
nomination. (B) Declaration of joint account holders as to disposal of maturity proceeds of (C)
declaration of Joint account holders as to premature payment, premature extension and granting loan
against deposit while the top portion serves as voucher, the lower portion after being detached be filed
in a separate file and be preserved carefully.

5.14 In fact, in our Bank, three different categories of Fixed Deposit accounts are there.
a) Fixed deposits having a duration of less than 6 months.
Duration of such Fixed Deposits are mentioned in days and the principal and interest for the
period of deposit is paid in lumpsum on the due date.
b) Fixed Deposits having duration of 6 months or more but up to 120 months.
Duration of such fixed deposits are mentioned in months and the interest on the deposit
amount is paid at quarterly intervals, whereas the principal amount is paid on due date against
the remaining balance of interest due.
c) The same type of Fixed Deposits as described in point b) above, but interest at
discounted rate paid at monthly intervals, whereas the principal amount is paid on due date. So,
it is desirable to maintain separate set of Fixed Deposit Registers (DT-3) for different types of
fixed deposits in order to have a better control over the matter.
5.15 But, for Kuber Yojna and deposit certificate account the entry will be made in newly introduced
Register-cum-Ledger (RCL).
5.15.1Separate set of RCL is to be maintained for KY account. RCL meant for Kuber Yojna
account may be numbered as KY-1, KY-2 etc. Each deposit under KY scheme is to be entered
in separate folio of the RCL in chronological order.
5.15.2Similarly, separate set of RCL is to be maintained for DC accounts and entry for each deposit
under the scheme will be entered in separate folio of the RCL in chronological order.
5.16 The name of deposits as entered into FD Register (DT-3)/RCL for KY account or RCL for DC
Account are also to be entered into Index Register in order of first letter of their first name.
5.17 Besides entering into fixed deposit register or Register-cum-Ledger, each deposit is to be entered first
into the respective folio of account opening registers, where each account will be allotted with a yearly
serial no. with suffix of the year like 05-06, 06-07 etc.
This serial number in addition to the printed number of the Receipt is to be mentioned in Fixed
Deposit Register/Register-cum-Ledger.
5.18 Issuance of Term Deposit Receipts
With effect from 12.05.1994 two different types of Fixed Deposit Receipts are in use in our Bank. One
for Kuber Yojna and another for Fixed Deposits, but each is having the provision on reverse for
renewal for ten times, without changing the receipt i.e. there is
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

113

UCO BANK

no need of issuing a fresh receipt at the time of each renewal. For deposit certificate, however, our FD
receipts bearing distinct No. DT should be continued to be in use.
While issuing Receipts under Fixed Deposit Account, Kuber Yojna account or Deposit Certificate
account, due care should be taken on the following points.
a) Date 11.12.2000 should be written as 11th December 2000 rather than 11.12.2000. 02/01/2001

nd

should be written as 02 January 2001 rather than 02/01/2001.


b) Name : Name should be written in full. In case of joint account name of all joint deposits should
be written and the mode of operation also stated.
c) Rate of Interest : The rate of Interest should be written in words.
d) Period of Deposit : Period of Deposit should be written in terms of months for deposits for
period below six months period of deposits should be written in terms of days instead of month.
e) Due Date :

th

Due date should be correctly calculated and written. It should also be written as 11
December 2002 rather than 11/12/2002.
When the due date falls on Sundays or Bank Holidays, the rule is that amount is to be

paid on the next (succeeding) working day. Thus in such cases succeeding working day
should be written as due date. Further, it has been clarified that when the due date of
deposits falls on a holiday/non business working day irrespective of the fact whether the
depositor seeks repayment on the immediately succeeding working day or later on,
interest is to be paid for the holiday or non-business working day. Interest amount so
payable should be on maturity value in case of investment deposits whereas it should be
on the original Principal amount in case of ordinary FDR and at contractual rate.

When the term deposit is placed in months, say 39 months and date of deposit is
12/11/2000 the due date will be 12/01/2004 i.e. the due date is arrived by, adding the
number of months with the month, in which the deposit is made, keeping the date
unchanged.

However, in case where period of deposit has been expressed in terms of days and not in
months the due date should be calculated as per the following procedure.
a) Calculate the days and not months. If February has 29 days calculate 29 days.
b) Include date of deposit
c) Exclude date of payment
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

114

UCO BANK

Thus, due date of term deposit receipt dated 21


as under :

st

December 2001 for 91 days will be calculated

December 2001

11 days (including the date of deposit)

January 2002

31 days

February 2002

28 days

March 2002

21 days

91 days

Thus due date will be 22

nd

March 2002.

f) Notice of Withdrawal :
Where the depositor deposits the amount in Fixed Deposit he also decides about the period it
means, when he deposits the amount, he also gives notice to the bank that the amount and the
interest on it (except where interest is paid monthly/ quarterly/half yearly) should be paid to him
on a particular day. This notice of withdrawal is given by the depositor on the same day on
which he deposits the amount. Therefore, the date of notice of withdrawal and the date of
deposit will be same and it should be written on Fixed Deposit Receipt.
g) Serial Number :
In addition to printed number, Fixed Deposit should also be given a year-wise running serial
number. Running serial number is allotted in Account Opening Register.
h) Fixed deposit receipt should be issued free of alteration, if any alteration is made in the Receipt,
it should be authenticated under the signature(s) of Officer(s) signing it. If there are alterations
in amount it is advisable to cancel and issue fresh Receipt.
i)

Fixed Deposit receipt may be either got types or may be written in hand. If written in hand it
must be neatly and legibly written. Fixed Deposit Receipts shabbily written or having cutting
through authenticated make a poor impression on the depositor.

j)

Indelible ink should be used in the writing of Fixed Deposit Receipt. Branches having pin point
typewriters should preferably issue Fixed Deposit Receipts typed on such
typewriter. Where computer operated Fixed

Deposit Receipt

writing machines

are provided, the same must be used.


The protectograph machine should be used

for superscribing

the amounts in

Fixed Deposit receipt.


Note :
(i) The marking by protectograph machine should be clear and faint impression

115

UCO BANK

should be avoided, it should not be made near to the top of a receipt so as to guard against
such a marking being clipped off by cutting a small part of Receipt.
ai) Attempts should not be made to rectify mistakes in marking by protectograph machine either
by way of substituting the previous marking by fresh impression or by over marking in all
such cases, a fresh receipt should be issued and receipt containing incorrect markings should
be cancelled on reference to the Manager/Asst. Manager.
5.19 The printed number and branch serial number as appearing on Fixed Deposit Receipt should be
noted on the application form at the space in the left hand bottom side of the application form.
5.20 The particulars on counterfoil should also be carefully filled in.
5.21 Particulars of Fixed deposit (but not the KY & DC) should be posted in Fixed Deposit Ledger (Form
DT-4) in the account of depositor existing or new.
5.22 Entry should be made in due date diary for all term deposits i.e. FD, KY and DC Accounts.
5.23 The FD/KY/DC Receipt should be signed by two authorised officers of the branch.
5.24 Before signing a Fixed deposit receipt the Officer(s) should
a) satisfy himself that the branch has received the amount of receipt. The application form (DT-2)
should bear Cash Received stamp account debited stamp duly signed by Chief/Head cashier
authorised Officer or deposit department.
b)

Ensure that all the particulars as mentioned in paragraph 5.18 have been correctly filled in the
receipt.

5.25 The counterfoil should also be checked and initialled by concerned officer(s).
5.26 The Officer(s) should also initial the printed and serial number of fixed deposit receipt noted on the
application form (DT-2) at the space in its top. This is necessary precaution to obviate the possibility of
more than one receipt being issued against one application form.
5.27 The concerned officer(s) should also check and initial
a) fixed and time deposit register
b) fixed and time deposit ledger
c) due date diary
d) Account opened and closed register
e) Register-cum-Ledger ( in case of KY/DC)
f) Index Register
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

116

UCO BANK

5.28 The Fixed Deposit receipt should be delivered to depositor against his signature on the reverse of the
voucher (DT-2).

6 . SPOILT FIXED DEPOSIT RECEIPTS


6.1 When a fixed deposit receipt form is spoilt in preparation, the fact should be noted on the relative
counterfoil under the initials of a singing official. The spoilt form should be effectively cancelled by
writing words cancelled thereon in red ink and by tearing off the space meant for the signatures of
the signing officials and the term deposit receipt form should thereafter be stapled to the counterfoil.

7 . CUSTODY OF FIXED DEPOSIT RECEIPT BOOKS


7.1 Fixed Deposit Receipt is security form. Its receipt from Head Office and custody at the branch and use
in department should be governed by the same precaution as are prescribed for cheque book and other
security printing materials.
7.2 Fixed Deposit receipts Book in use should remain in the custody of the Officer concerned in locked
box. It should be handed over to the clerk concerned at the commencement of the business of a day.
7.3 At the end of the day, when days transactions are over, the Fixed Deposit Receipt leaves in the book
should be verified by actual counting by concerned officer and taken to custody.
7.4 There is always a danger of Fixed deposit receipt leaf being surreptitiously taken away from the book and
fraudulently used. Great care must, therefore, be taken in ensuring that no leaf is so removed. The
number of Fixed deposit receipt issued during the day and the receipt forms on hand should be
carefully reconciled at the close of office every day. The books should be locked in a steel box to be
kept in an almirah in the strong room.

8 . FIXED DEPOSIT RECEIPTS


8 . 1 General Guidelines
a) The minimum amount of deposit under the scheme is Rs. 1000/-, but for option of payment of
interest at monthly interval the minimum amount of deposit is Rs.10,000/-.
b) The minimum period of deposit is 15 days.
c) The maximum period of deposit is 120 months.
NB : However, under the order of court/tribunal the period of deposit may be accepted beyond
120 months.
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

117

UCO BANK

d) If the period of deposit is less than six months, it is expressed in terms of days and the entire
amount of interest is to be paid in lumpsum at maturity.
e) If the period of deposit is 6 months and above, it is expressed in terms of months and at the
option of the depositor the interest may be paid at quarterly/monthly intervals.
8 . 2 Mode of Interest Calculation
8.2.1

Where the deposit is received for a period less than 6 months, while calculating Interest, the

following rules should be adopted :

One year should be considered as 365 days for the purpose of interest payment

The calculation of interest for a deposit of Rs. 10,000/- for 91 days at rate of interest of
10% p.a.
10,000 x 91 x 10

8.2.2

= Rs. 249.31 i.e. Rs. 249 (Rounded off to nearest rupee)

365 x 100
Interest in such cases is to be paid at maturity.

For the Fixed Deposits, having a tenure of 6 months or more, the interest is calculating on

the basis of the following months.

Interest is to be paid at quarterly intervals.


NB : For convenience in making payment, interest due for the first fraction period of the quarter
up to 30th June/30th September/31st December/ 31st March is to be paid on the first
working day of July/October/January/ April respectively.

Interest payable for a full quarter is the 1/4th of interest due for a year.

Interest payable for a month is the 1/12th of interest due for a year, irrespective of the
days of the month being 30/31/28/29.

Interest payable for a day is 1/365th of interest due for a year.


Example :
A Fixed Deposit of Rs. 10,000/- was opened on 10/02/2001 @10% interest for a period of 36
months. The due date is 10/02/2004.

Interest to be paid on 01/04/2001


(From 10/02/2001 to 31/03/2001 49 days)

10,000 x 10 x 49
= Rs. 134.24 i.e. Rs. 134
365 x 100
Interest is to be paid for subsequent eleven quarters. On the first working day

MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

118

UCO BANK

of July, October, January and April

10,000 x 10 = Rs. 250.00


4
Interest to be paid for the period 1/1/04 to 9/2/04 = Rs. 250 Rs. 134 = 116.00

Thus total interest to be paid= Rs. 135/- + (250x11) Rs.2750 + Rs.116 = Rs.3000/-

8 . 3 Other Formalities
8.3.1

A letter should be obtained from Depositor(s) requesting for periodical payment of interest.

In case of Joint Depositors all of them should sign the letter.


8.3.2 The signature of the deposit on letter should be verified and held in separate file. Those
instructions should be carefully recorded in Fixed and Time Deposit Register, Ledger and
Standing Instruction Book.
8.3.3

The amount of interest paid periodically should be marked on the reverse of Fixed Deposit

Receipt/ Fixed Deposit Register.


8.3.4

The amount of interest payable periodically should be credited to a Savings Bank Account of

the depositor.
Note :
a) Every persuasive effort should be made to induce the depositor to open a Savings Bank
Account for payment of such interest.
b) In case of joint accounts, the Savings Bank account to which interest amount is credited
should also be opened in the same joint names.
c) In such cases, payment of interest should be made through Standing Instruction Register.

8.3.5

If depositor insists for payment in cash, branch may issue him an uncrossed Managers

cheque, which can be encashed by him over the counter.


8.3.6

Date of payment of interest should be carefully marked in Fixed and time deposit register

and register of monthly payment of interest on fixed deposits. Officer and clerk concerned
should be very careful in this regard as omission to mark date of payment of interest in Register
is likely to result in double payment of interest for that period.
8.3.7

As an additional precaution, it is suggested that a note should also be made on the reverse of

Fixed Deposit Receipt for such periodical payment of interest and duly initialled by concerned
Officer. If the cages on the reverse of Fixed Deposit Receipts are found to be inadequate, an
alonge may be attached to Receipt. Where
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

119

UCO BANK

interest is credited to account of depositor, this requirement may be waived, as a definite record
would be available from such account.
8.3.8

All Fixed Deposit Receipt should invariably contain the periodicity of payment of interest,

amount of interest payable at such periods or at maturity. A rubber stamp should be prepared
reading as
a) The interest is payable at rests
b) The interest payable on this deposit every month/quarter or at maturity works out to Rs.

8 . 4 Fixed Deposit Accounts : Monthly Interest at discounted Rates
In consultation with the Reserve Bank of India it has been decided that while banks should calculate
interest on a quarterly or longer intervals or required in terms of RBIs directive, it would be open to
pay interest to the depositors on a monthly basis provided, the amount of interest paid every month is
not more than the discounted value of the interest for one month so that even if interest is allowed on
the interest so paid, the aggregate amount (i.e. amount of interest paid monthly with the interest that
may accrue on the amount so paid in one month) would not exceed one months interest on the deposit
calculated on a quarterly basis.

Example-I (Fixed Deposit where interest is to be paid at maturity)
Say, a Fixed Deposit of Rs. 10,000 was opened for 91 days on 10/01/2001 @6.5% interest per
annum. The depositor requested to close it prematurely on 08/03/2001. The period for which the
deposit remained with the bank is 57 days. Rate of Interest applicable for a Fixed Deposit for 57
days as was prevailing on 10/01/2001 was 6.5% per annum. The effective rate of interest will be
6.5% p.a. (no penalty).
The amount of interest payable

10,000 x 5.5 x 57
365 x 100

= Rs. 101.51 i.e. Rs. 102/-.

9 . KUBER YOJNA AND DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE


9 . 1 General Guidelines
a) The minimum amount of deposit is Rs. 1000/- for Kuber Yojna Accounts.
NB : It is desirable to accept amount of deposit in KY account in multiple of Rs.100/-but in
exceptional circumstances KY receipts can be issued for odd sums also.
b) The maturity value of Deposit Certificate Accounts should be Rs. 1000/- at minimum or
multiple thereof above that
c) The minimum period of deposit is 6 months.
d) The maximum period of deposit is 120 months.
NB : However, under the order of court/tribunal the maximum period of deposit may be
extended beyond 120 months.
e) Interest is compounded under the schemes at quarterly intervals.
f) The total amount of interest is paid at maturity.
g) Both the head of accounts are known as Cumulative Fixed Deposit (CFD) Accounts.
9 . 2 Determining the maturity value under Kuber Yojna Scheme
The master chart is to be followed to arrive at the figure.
Example : A sum of Rs. 10,000/- was deposited on 10/7/2000 for 36 months at an interest rate of 10%
p.a. The due date is 10/07/2004. As per Master Chart, a deposit of Rs. 100/-earns an interest amount of
Rs. 34.4889 at 10% rate after 36 months.
For Rs. 10,000/- the interest amount will be Rs. 3448.89 = Rs. 3449.00 So, the
maturity value = Rs. 10,000/- + Rs. 3449/- = Rs. 13,449/9 . 3 Determining the Face Value (Initial Deposit of Deposit Certificate)
Example : A depositor approached Bank on 10/07/2000 to deposit certain amount for 36 months, so
that he would get Rs. 10,000/- at maturity. The rate of interest prevailing on that day for a period of 36
months was 10% p.a.
As per Master, Chart, a deposit of Rs. 100/- will earn an interest of Rs. 34.4889 after 36 months at 10%
rate. Thus, the maturity value will be Rs. 100/- + Rs. 34.4889 = Rs. 134.4889
Putting it in otherway :
Rs. 134.4889 is the maturity value for

Rs.

100.00

Re. 1 is the maturity value for

Rs.

100.00

Rs

134.4889

= Rs.

7435.56

Rs. 10,000 is the maturity value for


100 x 10,000
134.4889

i.e. Rs. 7436

It means, he has to deposit Rs. 7436/- to get Rs. 10,000/- after 36 months at 10% rate. Thus, the face
value of Deposit Certificate will be Rs. 7436.00.

9 . 4 Maintenance of Books
9.4.1

At the time of opening of a new account under Kuber Yojna or Deposit Certificate Scheme,

all the deposits about the depositor and the deposits viz. Name, address, telephone number, other
term deposits held at the branch, SB/Current Account Number and amount of deposit, rte of
interest, period of deposit, date of maturity etc. are to be mentioned in Register-cum-Ledger
(RCL).
9.4.2

Each folio of the RCL is to be used for one deposit account only.

9 . 5 Quarterly Provision of Interest


9.5.1

Provision of interest shall be calculated at the end of each quarter i.e. on 30th June, 30th

September, 31st December and 31st March every financial year.


9.5.2 Interest for a broken period of a quarter is to be
calculated on day basis e.g.
A KY deposit of Rs. 10,000/- was received on 10th
April 2003. The rate of interest
applicable was 6% p.a. The deposit remained with the bank for 82 days till 30/6/2003. Interest
accrued till 30/06/2003.
1000 x 6 x 82
=
= Rs. 134.79
100 x 365
= Rs. 135/9.5.3 Thereafter, at the end of subsequent full quarter, interest is to be calculated by the help of Master
Chart.
e.g. Amount held inclusive of interest at the end of 30/06/2003 = Rs. 10,000 + Interest Accrued
Rs. 135/- = Rs. 10,135/For 3 months @6% p.a. for a deposit of Rs. 100/-, interest accrues Rs. 1.50 (See Master chart)
Thus, for Rs. 10,135/-, Interest shall accrue
= 1.50 x 10,135
=
Rs. 152/100
It means, interest for the above deposit shall be provided for on 30/09/2003 = Rs. 152
+ Rs. 135 = Rs. 287/Interest provision on 31/12/2003
At the end of 30/09/2003, the total amount inclusive of interest in the above account would be
Rs. 10,000/- + Rs. 287/- = Rs. 10,287/MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

127

UCO BANK

Additional interest that will accrue for the quarter

= 1.50 x 10,287 = Rs. 154/-

100
Total amount of interest to be provided for on 31/12//2003 = Rs. 135/- + Rs. 152/- + Rs. 154/- =

Rs. 441/Interest provision on 31/03/2004


At the end of 31/12/2003 the total amount inclusive of interest in the above account would be
Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 441 = Rs. 10,441/Addl. interest that will accrue for the quarter
=

Rs. 10,441 x 1.50 = Rs. 157/100


Total amount of interest to be provided for on 31/03/2004 = Rs. 135 + Rs. 152 + Rs. 154 + Rs.

157 = Rs. 598.


9.5.4

The provision amount may be written in Balance book or in a separate provision register.

9 . 6 Crediting interest to the account


On 31st March every year, the interest amount calculated as above shall be credit to the amount in
RCL.
NB : Income Tax, wherever applicable as per TDS rule of Income Tax Act, 1961 is to be deducted

with the Bank will be paid.

Illustration :
A depositor deposited a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- on 02.02.2004 for 60 months. The due date is
02.02.2009 and rate of interest applicable is 5.75% per annum. The said depositor requested the branch
to foreclose the account on 02.01.2007. Thus, the deposit actually
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

131

UCO BANK

remained with the branch for 339 days i.e. less than one year. The rate of interest as was prevailing for
a term deposit of 180 days to 364 days was 6.75% p.a. on 10/04/2002. So the applicable rate of interest
in the case of foreclose will be 6.75% p.a. (no penalty).
b) If the deposit has actually remained in the Bank for a minimum period of six months, then it
fulfils the criterion of Kuber Yojna. In that case, the interest on deposit will be compounded on
quarterly rests.
If the deposit has actually remained with the bank for a period less than 6 months the interest
thereon shall be paid on day basis at simple rate.
In the above example, the deposit has remained for more than 3 quarters,. It is completed 3
quarters on 09/01/2003 and remained with Bank 64 days thereafter.
As per master chart, after 9 months, an interest of Rs. 5.1484 shall accrue for a deposit of Rs.
100/- @ 6.75% p.a. So, the deposit of Rs. 1,00,000/- will fetch an interest of Rs. 5148.40, say
Rs. 5148/-. So, the maturity value will come to Rs. 1,05,148/- at the end of 9 months.
For balance 64 days, the interest will be :
1,05,148 x 6.75 x 64
36500

= Rs. 1244/-

So, the total amount payable = Rs. 1,05,148 + Rs. 1244 = Rs. 1,06,392.00
c) Vouching
In case of above example, the concerned CFD account would show a credit balance of Rs.
1,00,000/- (entry dated 10/04/2002)
The following interest amount must have been credited to CFD Interest account in respect of the
above account in the process of quarterly provision of interest.

d) Other Important Points :

The officer concerned should check the calculation of interest meticulously.

When the CFD Account is debited for the face value of the receipt (i.e. amount deposited
with Bank), the KY/DC Receipt itself will be treated as the debit voucher.

But, when the CFD Account is to be debited for an amount more than the amount
deposited, a separate debit voucher is to be prepare for the full amount, where the KY/DC
receipt will be attached as annexure.

The debit voucher and/or the KY/DC receipt shall be duly posted in the concerned CFD
account in RCL and shall be released putting a line thereon with remarks, paid on date
under initial of officer concerned.

The debit voucher debiting Interest Paid (CFD) account or CFD Interest account will be
signed by the Officer-in-charge of the department and it must be countersigned by the
Manager/Sr. Manager of the branch.

In case of foreclosure of account, the request letter of the depositor is to be attached along
with the debit CFD account voucher.

MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

UCO BANK

At the time of closure of account, summation of Debit and Credit columns should be
made on RCL folio to ensure that both the totals tally with each other.

At the bottom of the folio, the officer concerned should affix a rubber stamp which would
read as Account closed on dt. with signature of officer concerned.

Necessary entry must be made in Account Opened & Closed Register.

1 0 . PREMATURE EXTENSION OF FIXED DEPOSITS (FD, KY, DC)


The depositor may exercise his option to extend the period of deposit and when Bank accedes to his

d) No fresh fixed deposit receipt needs to be issued, rather suitable noting in bold letter and red ink
is to be made on the original receipt.
e) The new interest rate as would be applied for extended period shall not get retrospective effect
to the date of request for extension.

0 . 2 Procedure

10.3.1 Kuber Yojna
A depositor deposited a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- in Kuber Yojna account on 01/01/1998 for a
period of 60 months at an interest rate of 11.50% per annum. The rate of interest of term
deposits for a period of three years and above was increased to 12% per annum w.e.f.
28/12/1998. The depositor requested on 10/02/1999 to extend the KY deposit. The remaining
period of deposit is 55 months 20 days. So, he must request for a minimum period of extension,
which should be longer than 55 months 20 days i.e. at least for 56 months.
If he requests for extension for 56 months, that 56 months must run from 10/02/1999 only. In no
case, the depositor will be given the benefit of higher rate of interest retrospectively, even
though the rate of interest has been increased from 28/12/1998.
In the above case, the period of deposit that would remain with Bank shall be divided in two
parts.
a)

from

01/01/1998 to

09/02/1999

132 days

b)

from

10/02/1999 to

09/10/2003

56 months

The rate of interest for 132 days will be as prevailing on 1/10/1998 for the said period i.e. 7%
p.a. No penalty will be levied on interest rate. Thus, the amount of interest
1,00,000 x 7 x 132
= Rs. 2532/100 x 365
But, the rate of interest applicable from 10/2/1999 to 9/10/2003 will be @12% p.a.
payable up to 09/02/1999 =

The amount of interest due up to 09/02/1999, i.e. Rs. 2532/- can be paid to the depositor on
10/02/1999 or at his option, the amount can be clubbed to the principal. In such case, the
principal amount will be changed to Rs. 1,02,532/- w.e.f. 10/02/1999.
10.3.2 Certificate of Deposit
In case of Deposit certificate, usually such a request should not be entertained. But, in
exceptional circumstances, the procedure as illustrated above for Kuber Yojna will be adopted.
However, in such case, the basic feature of Deposit Certificate that the depositor receives a
round sum at maturity cannot be adhered to.
10.3.3 Fixed Deposit
In case of Fixed Deposits, the excess interest already paid is to be recovered from the depositor
at the time of extension.

for a period of 56 months.
As calculated above, he is entitled to an interest amount of Rs. 2532/- from 01/10/ 1998 to
09/02/1999.

i.e. Rs. 2875/- Rs. 2532/- = Rs. 343/- is to be recovered from the depositor at the time of
extension.

meticulosity as required for a fresh deposit.
Entry and marking the date of payment etc. should be made in the respective ledger, register and
account opening and closing register as required for regular closure of account.

1 4 . RENEWAL OF OVERDUE TERM DEPOSITS (FD/KY/DC)


When a term deposit was neither paid to the depositor nor renewed for a fresh term, the deposit
becomes overdue term deposit. The depositor may approach the Bank to renew the deposit after the
due date. In such a case, the overdue deposit can be renewed subject to following terms and
conditions.
14.1 In case the overdue period does not exceed 14 days on the date of request for renewal the interest
rate for the renewed period will be the rate, prevailing on the date of maturity and the renewed deposit
shall take effect from the date of maturity of original Term Deposit.
14.2 Where overdue period exceeds 14 days, renewal will be permitted if the depositor agrees to renew
for a further period of at least equal to the period, the deposit remains overdue.
The renewed term deposit in above case will take effect from the date of renewal i.e. the date on which
the depositor approaches the Bank for renewal.
The rate of interest on the renewed deposit will be as per the rate prevailing on the date of renewal not
from the date of maturity.
The interest for the overdue period will be the interest rate prevailing on the date of maturity or on the
date of renewal whichever is less.
14.3 Where overdue period exceeds 14 days and depositor does not agree to renew the same

146

UCO BANK

for a further period equal to the period of overdue, interest may be paid at Savings Bank rate for the
overdue period. In such case, interest will be paid for completed months only and fraction of a month
will be ignored.
1 5 . INTIMATION OF DUE DATE OF TERM DEPOSIT IN ADVANCE TO THE DEPOSITOR
Branches are to maintain Due Date Diary meticulously for all term deposit accounts Letter of
intimation (D-27) is to be sent to the depositor, whose term deposit is due for maturity at least 10 days
before the due date.
As the revised guidelines of Renewal of term deposits have an adverse effect on the interest of
depositor if he fails to request for renewal within 14 days after due date, the importance of intimation
of due date to depositor has become manifold. So, branches must adhere to the above stipulation
without fail.

1 6 . CASH PAYMENT & INCOME TAX (2nd AMENDMENT) ACT, 1981


16.1 Any cash payment against a term deposit can be made only as per guidelines contained herein below
based on Income Tax (Second Amendment) Act, 1981, Section 269T.
No company (including a banking company), co-operative society or firm should repay to any person
any deposit otherwise than by an account payee cheque or account payee bank draft or where the
amount of such payment is Rs. 20,000/- or more.
Provided that where the repayment is by a banking company or co-operative bank, such repayment
may also be made by crediting the amount of such deposit to the account (if any) with such company
or bank of the person to whom such deposit has to be repaid.
All deposits which are repayable after a period where the amount of deposit or the aggregate amount
of deposit together with interest is Rs. 20,000/- or more, then the repayment of such deposits has to be
made by account payee cheque or account payee bank draft. Such repayments could also be made by
crediting the amount of such deposit to the account of the person to whom such deposit has to be
repaid.
16.2 The guidelines received from Indian Banks Association on the above cited Income Tax provisions
are furnished below :

In order to know whether the repayment of a particular deposit attracts the provisions of the Act
or not, it would be necessary to find out the aggregate amount of all term deposits held in the
name of the depositor and the amount to be repaid with interest at maturity or otherwise. Where
the aggregate of deposits of a party or the aggregate of the deposit and the interest to be paid
thereon is Rs. 20,000/- or more, the repayment will have to be effected in the modes prescribed
under the ACT.

Payment of periodical interest could be effected in cash.

Where there is a loan against a deposit, while effecting repayment of the deposit on maturity or
otherwise, the loan transaction is to be ignored. In other words, the gross amount of deposit and
interest repaid should be considered (along with other deposit, as per first paragraph above) and
not the balance or net amount to be repaid after adjusting the loan liability.

Renewal of a deposit does not amount to repayment. Deposits could be renewed by splitting into
smaller deposits in the name(s) appearing in the original deposit receipt. No undue benefit,
however, would be available to the depositor since even after splitting each of the deposits could
be repaid only in the manner provided in the Act when aggregate of all such deposits or the
aggregate of the deposits and the interest to be paid thereon is Rs. 20,000/- or more.

MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

148

UCO BANK

Splitting of deposits other than in the name(s) of original depositor(s) should not be permitted
without effecting repayment of the deposit(s) in either of the modes prescribed in the Act to the
original depositor(s).

In respect of the deposit held in the joint names payment could be effected to any one or more of
the depositors as per the terms of the original contract between the bank and the depositor(s) in
accordance with the directions of all the joint depositors.

16.3 Therefore Branches should


a) obtain details of earlier deposits from the depositors while accepting fresh deposits
b) Maintain a record of all term deposits depositor-wise (i.e. through maintaining FD Ledger and
Index Register)
c) While paying any deposit in cash, obtain a letter as per the following proforma.

1 6 . 4 ILLUSTRATIONS
Illustration-1 : A depositor has more than one term deposit (amount of each deposit at maturity being
less than Rs. 20,000/-) and all these deposits are maturity on the same date/different dates. Even
though the amount of each deposit is less than Rs. 20,000/- and they mature for payment on the same
date or different date, the aggregate of all the term deposits should be taken into account after deciding
whether the said deposits attract the provisions of the IT (2nd Amendment) Act.
In cases where the aggregate of deposits together with interest payable, if any, is Rs. 20,000/- or more
it would be required to be paid by Account Payee cheque or Bank draft or by crediting the relative
amount in the party SB/Current account (and not in cash).
Illustration-2 : A Kuber Yojna deposit of Rs.10,000/- is kept to a person of 7 years. The aggregate of
the principal and the interest accrued thereon to be paid on maturity exceeds Rs. 20,000/-. Such a
deposit could be paid in any of the modes specified in the I.T. (2nd amendment) act and not in cash. If
the periodical interest however, had been paid quarterly/half yearly as and when due or at monthly
rests (at discounted value) and the aggregate amount of unpaid accrued interest together with the
amount of deposit on repayment is less than Rs. 20,000/-, the aggregate of the deposits of the
depositor(s) including this deposit and the unpaid interest may be seen and if such aggregate is also
less than Rs. 20,000/- then only the amount may be paid in cash.
Illustration-3 : A Fixed Deposit of Rs.20,000/- is kept against which a loan of Rs.15,000/-has been
granted. Suppose on the date of maturity, the loan amount due is Rs. 16,245/-. Though the net amount
to be paid to the depositor may be less than Rs. 20,000/- the net amount may not be paid in cash as per
the Act.
Illustration-4 : A Fixed deposit of Rs. 5,000/- is kept against which a loan of Rs. 3,500/-has been
granted. Suppose on maturity, the net amount is to be paid to the party. If the loan amount due with
interest is Rs. 3,600/- and if the amount of accumulated unpaid interest is Rs. 1,725/- what we have to
do is to ignore the loan transaction, calculate the amount payable on maturity which is Rs. 6,725/- =
(Rs. 5,000 + Rs. 1,725), and add to it the other Term Deposits of the party at the branch. If the
aggregate amount so arrived at is less than Rs. 20,000/- then only the amount may be paid in cash.
Otherwise the mode of payment as specified in the Act will be applicable.

1 6 . 5 Penalty for Failure to comply with the above provisions regarding cash payment
The penalty when we fail to comply with the above provisions regarding cash payment has been
provided for in section 276E of the Income Tax (2nd Amendment) Act, 1981.

1 7 . PAYMENT TO THIRD PARTY


17.1 A term deposit receipt is not a negotiable. One of the conditions of term deposit receipt is that the
receipt is not transferable. The depositor, therefore, cannot endorse it in favour of another person. The

17.2 In case the depositor wants the payment to be made to one of his agents/employees, the term deposit
receipt must be discharged by depositor and a request should be made by him/her in a covering letter
to the bank to make payment to such agent or employee. The signature of such agent/employee should
be attested in the letter by the depositor.
17.3 In case of joint account, the authority and discharge of the depositor must be according to
instructions given in Term Deposit Receipt. If the instructions are to pay to deposits jointly, then all the
joint depositors should sign the letter and discharge the term deposit receipt.
17.4 When payment of term deposit receipt is to be effected to an authorise person in the manner
described above, it is essential that
a) The signatures of depositor(s) on the Receipt in discharge thereof are carefully verified.
b) Proper and satisfactory identification of the person receiving the payment is obtained.
c) To pay by Pay Order marked A/c Payee and Not Negotiable favouring the depositor when
the amount of payment so warrants as per section 269T of Income Tax (2nd Amendment) Act
1981.
d) To exercise greater care when amount involved is large.
17.5 All payments to Limited companies should be by Pay Order or by crediting their Current Accounts
with the Bank.

1 8 . ADDITION AND DELETION OF THE NAME(S) OF JOINT A/C HOLDERS


At the request of the joint account holders the Bank may allow the addition or deletion of name(s) of
joint account holder(s) if the circumstances so warrant or allow an individual depositor to add the

incorporated to GL accordingly.

not paid (or renewed) transferred to Overdue Fixed & Time Deposit Account.
This process should be accomplished as frequently as possible, but must be done at the time of each
quarterly closing of accounts.

in cycles till these are encashed by the depositor by a separate instruction :
OR
b) Such Fixed Deposit would be renewed without the accrued interest for further consecutive
periods of 46 days in cycles till these are encashed by the depositor
by a separate instruction and the accrued interest at the end of every such period of 46 days
would be credited to the depositors Current/Savings Bank Account.

OPERATIONAL FUND
All depositors should specify the amount that has to be left in the account over and above the minimum

present and future. Proforma of such an instruction is given hereunder. Since the Fixed deposits would
mature within a period of 46 days only, premature encashments would be few. However, it should be noted
that for premature encashments no interest would be payable if encashment is made before completion of 30
days from the date when the amount was credited to the Fixed Deposit account.

TERMINATION OF TWD
In case the depositor wants to discontinue his TWD account he may do so by giving a termination letter in
writing. On receipt of such a termination letter all outstanding FDs (TWD) in his name should be paid back
to his current/SB account on maturity or prematurely as the case may be Standing instruction register, FD
(TWD) ledger folio should also be appropriately marked as Instructions cancelled in red ink.

CHARGES TO BE RECOVERED
Since the branch would do all the transaction of transferring fund/renewal/repayment etc. on behalf of the
depositor without requiring him to call on every time such transactions take place and since the number of
such transactions would presumably be large over a period of time, the branch should recover a handling
charge @15/- per quarter for each depositor. Such amounts may be recovered to the debit of the depositors
Savings Bank/Current Account for which the letter of option (Clause No. 4) contains the requisite authority.

STANDING INSTRUCTION REGISTER


Letter of option which the depositor executes at the time of opening a TWD account should be separately
filed chronologically, the details of the option exercised by the depositor should be entered in a separate
standing instruction register maintained exclusively for TWD accounts.
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

160

UCO BANK

The details would include (i) Savings/Current account from which periodical debits would be made for
transferring fund to FD (TWD); (iii) whether FD (TWD)s should be renewed with interest or renewed
without interest or paid back on maturity; (iv) reference No. of FD (TWD) register and FD (TWD) ledger
folio. The branch should very scrupulously follow the instructions and transfer funds timely as desired by the
depositor.

FD (TWD) REGISTER AND LEDGER


Separate register and ledger are to be kept for TWD accounts, Separate folios are to be allotted to each
depositor in the FD (TWD) ledger. Entries to be made in the register and ledger would be the usual ones. A
separate running serial No. may be maintained for TWD accounts for easier control. As and when a deposit
matures it should be either renewed or paid, depending upon the instruction of the depositor. It would be the
duty of the branch to keep a constant vigil on the three books viz. (i) Standing Instruction Register (ii)
FD/TWD Register and (iii) FD (TWD) Ledger to ensure all to and fro transfers and renewals etc. are done
exactly on time so that the depositor does not find any occasion to be aggrieved with.

DISCONTINUANCE OF FD RECEIPT FOR TWD ACCOUNTS


Since a large number of renewals are expected of cash FD (TWD) Deposit, it has been decided to do away
with the necessity of issuing FD Receipts in case of TWD account FD (TWD) Register and Ledger would be
sufficient to furnish all details of the TWD accounts. As a record for the depositor, a Pass Book should be
given to him which would reflect the entries in the FD (TWD) ledger account of the depositor. Please note
that for each depositor only one account in FD (TWD) ledger is to be opened. All to and fro transfers,
renewals etc. should be shown in that ledger. A reflection of these entries in the Pass Book of the depositor
would enable him to know the up-to-date position of his TWD account.

HEAD OF ACCOUNT IN THE GENERAL LEDGER


Two Way Deposits are nothing but Fixed Deposits and as such no new head of account needs to be opened in
the General Ledger.

WHO CAN OPEN TWD ACCOUNT


Since the current/Savings Bank account and the related Fixed Deposit Accounts are envisaged to belong to
the same entity, such current/Savings Bank and Fixed Deposit Accounts would be opened in identical names
of individuals, associations of persons, minor (to be operated by guardians) and firms & companies would be
eligible to open Two Way Deposit Account.

LOAN AGAINST TWD


Since all the Fixed Deposit in this scheme would mature in a period of 46 days only no loans/ overdraft etc.
would be granted against Two-Way Deposits.
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

UCO BANK

STAFF ACCOUNT
One per cent additional interest would be available to staff members who open accounts under this scheme.
However, in these cases the requirement of minimum balance and the quarterly charges may be waived.

TARGET GROUP
Target group for this deposit scheme would comprise those depositors who have either a temporary surplus
fund (say in a current account) which may be invested gainfully for short duration or such funds which
remain idle in view of unforeseen contingency (say in a Savings Bank account) where liquidity of fund must
be ensured to take care of such contingency. In medium or long term Fixed Deposit, this requirement cannot
be met Two Way deposits are ideally suited for this group of depositors.

2 . FRIEND-IN-NEED DEPOSIT
( Reference : CHO/DEP/15/92-93 dated 14.09.1992 )
This is a scheme where depositors who are individuals or associations of persons can avail of an overdraft
facility against Fixed Deposit through a Current Account by drawing usual cheques without approaching the
Bank time and again for a loan facility as is the procedure followed in granting loans against FDR to this
category of depositors. In effect, the depositor feels that while his deposit earns interest at the Fixed Deposit
rate, he can still use a major part of his money as and when needed and hence the name of the scheme.

Essential Features
a)

A Fixed Deposit (which includes Kuber Yojna) account is opened by the depositor.
A Current Account also needs to be opened in identical name if there is no existing
current account in that name.
b) The FD/KY Receipt is got discharged by the depositor in the usual manner to be kept under lien with
Bank.
c) A set of documents is executed by the depositor authorising the Bank to allow drawing against the said
Fixed Deposit/Kuber Yojna up to a maximum of 90% of the deposit amount. These documents are the
usual ones viz A-1, or A-2, A-3, A-38 and A-47.
d) A request letter, a proforma of which is given hereunder, is obtained from the depositor for treating the
Fixed Deposit as a Friend-in-Need Deposit with necessary details.
e) For overdraft facility up to Rs. 2 lakhs, an interest at a rate 2% higher than that allowed on the Fixed
Deposit concerned is charged on the debit balance, if any, in the Current Account on daily product
basis. For overdraft facility above Rs. 2 lakhs, the interest rate would be the PLR or deposit rate plus
2% whichever is higher.

Dear Sir,
I/we have put in Rs. (Rupees )
as Fixed Deposit/Kuber Yojna the account number of which is/are in regard to this
I/we state as under :
1) I/we desire to have a drawing facility upto a maximum of 90% (ninety percent) of the deposit
mentioned hereinabove as and when I/we need the same.
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

163

UCO BANK

2) Such drawings would necessarily be made in the Current Account standing in my/our name by way of
regular cheques.
3) If due to such drawings and/or other debits made by the Bank, the balance in the said Current account
goes into the debit, the Bank shall be authorised to charge interest at a rate of 2% (two per cent) above
the rate allowed on the FD/KY viz. % (................
per cent) i.e. at a rate of % (percent) on the outstanding debit balance on
daily product basis.
The interest rate would be the Prime Lending Rate or 2% above the deposit rate whichever is higher
i.e. at a rate of % (percent)
H

( strike out whichever is not applicable depending on whether the overdraft facility is upto Rs. 2
lakhs or above Rs. 2 lakhs )
4) To facilitate the above arrangement I/we have discharged the said FD/KY receipt in blank to be kept
under lien with the Bank as a security against such overdrawings and any charges, interest and claim
that the Bank may have in the said same current account.
5)

It is however expressly agreed that not with expressly agreed that notwithstanding
the above, the Bank shall have right of lien and/or set off and combination of account on
the above Friend-in-Need deposit whether matured or not for any other liability present, future or
contingent of mine/ours to the bank on any other account(s) whatsoever and howsoever whether as
principal or as a surety.

6) Payment of the FD/KY whether on maturity or prematurely would only be made through the said
current account.
7) I/we shall form time to time execute any further documents or agreements as may be required by the
bank in giving effect to the Friend-in-Need deposit and agree to abide by the rules in force of the bank
from time to time in respect of Friend-in-Need deposit whether expressly notified to me/us or not.

Head of Account in General Ledger


No separate head of account needs to be opened in the General Ledger Friend-in-Need deposit would form a
part of Fixed Deposit or Kuber Yojna as the case may be Debit balance
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

164

UCO BANK

in current accounts resulting from drawing by the depositor would form a part of overdraft in current
accounts and be shown as such in General Balance.

Loan against Friend-in-Need Deposit


No other loan/OD would be allowed against such deposits.

Eligibility Criteria and Floor Limit


1)

Individuals and associations of persons may open Friend-in-Need deposit account


Fixed deposit/Kuber Yojna and the related current accounts should be opened in identical
names. Drawing against third party FD/KY should not be allowed under the scheme.

2) An FD/KY for minimum of Rs. 10,000/- and in multiples of Rs. 1000/- for a period of three years and
above (up to a maximum of 10 years) would be accepted under this scheme.

Staff Account
This scheme is meant to serve dual purpose. On one hand, the Bank wants to attract medium term deposits
and on the other hand, a channel for investing the funds is in-built in the scheme. Allowing staff members
concessions in margin and rate of interest in this scheme would defeat its purpose. Therefore, staff members
can avail of the facilities of this scheme under the same terms and conditions as applicable to general public.
No. concession in margin and rate of interest would be available to them in this scheme.

Miscellaneous
1) Mature/Premature payment may be allowed in the usual course, the proceeds of which should be
credited to the related current account.
2) All the documents/letters executed by the depositors are to be kept in a bunch along with the FD
Receipt, duly discharged, in a separate cover superscribed as Friend-in-Need Deposit. These
documents would be kept in custody of the bank as security documents.
3) Friends-in-Need accounts are primarily meant to serve those individuals and associations of persons
who would like their deposit to earn handsomely while at the same time it remains liquid enough to
make use of it. As such, though the drawings would be made through a current account, the
transactions would be more in the nature of those in a typical Savings Bank account.
4) No account would be opened in the name of a minor under this scheme.

Target Group and Miscellaneous


This scheme is primarily meant for attracting long and medium term deposits, with overdues to

earn interest by advancing thereagainst. Form the depositors side also, the scheme is advantageous because
he can use a major portion of his fund in the same way as in a Savings Bank account while the deposit goes
on earning interest at a much higher rate than that available on savings bank deposit. Moreover, he does not
need to approach the bank every time for granting drawal against his own deposit. Target group for this
scheme is the urban middle and high income groups who often needs either to prematurely encash their
accumulated deposits to meet certain unforeseen expenditure or to keep unnecessarily large amounts in lowearning savings bank account to meet periodical expenses, losing interest under both the alternatives.

3 . FLEXIBLE FIXED DEPOSIT (FFD) SCHEME


It is a deposit scheme like Kuber Yojna accounts, having provision of the premature with-drawals without
any penalty. Such premature withdrawals are allowed to be made in multiple of Rs. 1000/-. No penal interest
is levied for such premature withdrawals, but interest is paid at simple rate and at the rate applicable for the
period on the deposit held by Bank.

Target Group
Target Group for the scheme could be those depositors who make lumpsum deposits in the Bank and at the
same time would like to have easy access to the fund at the time of necessity with minimum loss of interest.
It has a distinct advantage over Kuber Yojna scheme in the way that a depositor under KY Account has to
foreclose the entire account when he is in bare need of money, thereby he losses a sizable amount by way of
penalty due to premature closure. Under FFD Scheme, on the other hand, the depositor can withdraw a part
of the deposited amount depending upon his necessity, While his interest earning on the balance amount of
deposit remains unaffected.

Eligibility
Individuals, Association of persons and bodies, those are eligible to open SB Accounts as per RBI guidelines
Category A
All other depositors, not covered under category A above Category B

Minimum Amount of Deposit


For depositors under Category A Rs. 5000/Further additional amount will be in multiple of Rs. 5000/- only
For depositors under Category B Rs. 1,00,000/Further additional amount will be in multiple of Rs. 10,000/- only.

Number of premature withdrawals permissible


For category A depositors No restriction
For Category B depositors Maximum 12 times in a calendar year.

Premature withdrawal
Premature withdrawal of a part of the deposit amount are allowed with a minimum amount of Rs. 1000/- or
in multiple thereof per occasion.
No penalty in the form of reduction in applicable interest rate will be levied for such premature withdrawals.
But, interest on the amount of premature withdrawal will be paid on simple interest rate (i.e. without
compounding at quarterly intervals) as would be applicable for the
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

period for which the amount remained with the Bank and the rate as was prevailing for such period at the
time of depositing the amount.

Accounting Opening Form


Accounts under FFD schemes would be opened with the usual application-cum-Credit voucher (DT-2) used
for Kuber Yojna Accounts. Along with this voucher, a declaration as given hereunder is to be obtained at the
time of opening of the account. This declaration may be kept at the branch either with the specimen signature
card or in a separate file.
Separate request in plain paper is to be made by the depositor for each premature withdrawal, which
will be stitched, to the concerned debit voucher, debiting the principal amount.

Dear Sir,
Sub : Deposit under Flexible Fixed Deposit Scheme
With reference to the deposit of Rs. (Rupees )
only, which I/we have made with you under your Flexible Fixed Deposit Scheme, I/we hereby declare that
partial premature withdrawal of the principal amount, which is allowed under the scheme, if any would be
made by me/us, it would be in multiples of Rs. 1000/- (Rupees one thousand) only. The Bank shall be at
liberty to impose penalty on interest or to pay interest at simple rate on the amount, which will be
prematurely withdrawn, as per rules of the Bank.
The rest amount, if any, would become payable on maturity.

Opening of a SB Account or Current Account The depositors under the scheme must have a Savings
Bank/Current account in the branch. If they are not having such account earlier, they shall have to open a

Pass Book in place of KY Receipt


No KY Receipt is to be issued for deposits under this scheme. A Savings Account Pass Book or preferably a
current account Pass Book should be issued to the depositor wherein entries upto the balance column of the
ledger would be reflected. A separate pass book designed specifically for this scheme is being introduced by
the Bank. Till such time the new Pass Book is put in put into use, branches should use current account pass
book for accounts under this scheme. It may be noted carefully that if the depositor has more than one
account under the scheme which would be maintained in different ledger folios, each such account should be
shown in different folios of the same pass book in a chronological manner. In the Pass Book folio, the
corresponding ledger folio number maybe mentioned at the top for easier reference. In other words each folio
of the pass book would show one account with one credit entry and presumably more than one debit entries
just like that in the ledger folio.
Under this system of maintaining pass book, if the account holder wants to know the total balance
outstanding in all the individual accounts (appearing on separate folios of the pass book) it may not be
convenient to him in absence of a summary statement. To enable him to know the total balance at any point
of time at a glance, we suggest that a summary of all accounts showing therein all credit and debit entries be
maintained preferably in the last two folios of the pass book. This summary would show all the deposits and
withdrawals made in all the accounts of the account holder as also the final balance outstanding taking all the
accounts together. For easier comprehension of this aspect a hypothetical summary is shown below which
exhibits the entries in the summary for hypothetical case.

Record Keeping
It should be clearly understood that though there may be

several withdrawals in an

account, there can be only one deposit at the time of opening of the account. If the depositor
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

169

UCO BANK

wants to make further deposit/deposits under the scheme, all such deposit/deposits would constitute separate
account/accounts. Such separate accounts are to be maintained in separate ledger folios. It may be observed
that the columns required for maintaining such accounts are more or less the same as in a Savings or Current
account ledger folio. We feel that branches may use the existing Savings (big bound)/Current account/FD
ledger with necessary modifications incorporating therein the columns required for making interest entries as
shown in the example in accounting procedure. We suggest that a separate ledger be maintained for this type
of accounts for easier control. Each account (one account in one folio) should be opened chronologically in
separate folios. It may so happen that one depositor who has more than one account under this scheme will
have his accounts in different folios of the ledger according to the date of opening of the account.

These accounts need not be entered into RCL, meant for CFD Accounts.

Head of Account in General Ledger


These deposits are Kuber Yojna deposits only and no new head needs to be opened in General Ledger.
However, a separate running serial number maybe maintained with suitable prefix or suffix in the Accounting
Opening Register. A typical number may be KY/FFD/5/98-99.

Accounting Procedure
Deposits under the scheme has not been categorised under Cumulative Fixed Deposit (CFD) accounts. Thus,
the procedure followed for provision and integration of interest for CFD accounts is not applicable for FFD
accounts.
Under FFD scheme, provision of interest at quarterly intervals is to be calculated afresh and the amount of
interest so provided is to be mentioned in the respective column. (Please refer to example) Similarly, while
making premature closure, fresh calculation of interest on the amount withdrawn is to be made. A Close
study of the undernoted example would given a clear idea about the procedure to be followed for calculation
of provision interest and interest payment at the time of premature withdrawal and final payment.
Example :
A deposit of Rs. 20,000/- has been made under FFD scheme on 15.04.1998 for 4 years.

Staff Account
Staff members may open account under the scheme with usual benefits which they are entitled to in rate of
interest, premature payment and loan against deposit. But, while making premature payment, interest will be
paid on simple basis at applicable rate.

Loan against deposit


As FFD scheme is aimed at providing better liquidity to the depositor. The depositor, in stead of asking for a
loan against their deposit would prefer for a part premature withdrawal. However, loan can be granted
against FFD under usual terms and conditions as would be applicable for availing loan against Kuber Yojna
account. A-38 (R) form will be used as application-cum-letter of lien. The passbook is to be retained at the
Bank with a separate discharge certificate, written on a plain paper bearing signature of the depositor across
an adhesive stamp of Re. 1/-. All other documents are to be obtained and lien marking on the ledger folio and
pass book are to be made as usual.
Loan is to be granted to the maximum extent of 90% of principal and accrued interest.
However, if any premature withdrawal is requested for during the pendency of loan account, the proceeds of
premature withdrawal will be appropriated first to liquidate the loan account and the balance would be
credited to depositors account.

( Reference : CHO/DEP/18/95-96 dated 23.02.1996 )
This is a very convenient deposit scheme wherein the features of savings bank account and a recurring
deposit account have been amalgamated. Like a Recurring deposit account, there would be monthly
instalments, but unlike Recurring deposit account, such instalments may not be equal. Any amount between
Rs. 50/- and Rs. 10,000/- in multiples of Rs. 10/- may be deposited in a month subject to conditions
mentioned in point No. (c) below. Like Savings Bank account, interest at the term deposit rate would be
calculated every half year and credited to the account, but unlike Savings bank account, no withdrawal is
permitted before maturity.

PERIOD OF DEPOSIT
Deposits would be accepted for periods from 1 year to 10 years. However, tenure of the deposit need not be a
multiple of 3 months, as in the case for a normal recurring deposit account. The exact period should be so
determined that the maturity date of an account falls on the 1st day of the next month after the account has
completed the desired period. For example, for an account which is opened on 25th May 1996 for a desired
period of 36 months, the exact period of maturity should be fixed as 3 years and 7 days so that the date of
maturity falls on 1st June 1999 instead of 25th May 1999. The purpose of this is to prevent loss of interest to
the depositor which he would otherwise suffer in the terminal month because of the mode of calculation of
interest for which the minimum balance between 10th and the last day of the month is taken into account. For
accounts which are opened on the 1st of a month this adjustment of period of maturity would not be required
since in those case the date of maturity-would even otherwise fall on the 1st day of a calendar month. The
period of maturity even after such adjustments should not, however, exceed 10 years.

PERIODICITY OF INSTALMENT
Like a recurring deposit account, there would be one deposit every month. However, unlike recurring deposit
account, there would not be any penalty for default of monthly instalments. It may also be noted that unlike
normal recurring deposit account, there is no prefixed maturity amount in these accounts since the amount
payable on maturity would depend on the amounts of monthly instalments (which are veriable) deposited in
the account. The account will mature on its due date irrespective of the number of instalments actually
deposited by the depositor. Like Recurring Deposit accounts, there would be no withdrawal before maturity
(or before premature encashment, if any) in these accounts.
If in an account, monthly instalments have not

been deposited for a continuous period

of 4 months, a notice should be sent to the depositor requesting him to clear his monthly
instalments. It should be mentioned in the notice that if the default occurs for a continuous
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

177

UCO BANK

period of 6 months, the Bank will have no option but to close the account. On the completion of 6 months of
continuous default, the account should be closed and the amount with admissible interest thereon should
either be credited to the depositors Savings/Current account under advice to him or a Pay Order/Demand
Draft should be sent to the last known address of the depositor.

AMOUNT OF MONTHLY INSTALMENT


Unlike a normal recurring deposit account, the monthly instalments may not be equal. However, all monthly
instalments would necessarily be a multiple of Rs. 10/- with the stipulation that the instalments deposited in
any month would be any amount between Rs. 50/- and Rs. 10000/-(both inclusive). However, at the time of
opening the account, the depositor shall have to specify the minimum amount he would deposit in a month
(the minimum amount to be so specified must not be below Rs. 50/-) and the maximum amount which he
could deposit in a month shall not exceed 10 times of the minimum amount, subject to maximum amount of
Rs. 10,000/-

INTEREST CALCULATION
Interest shall be applied at a uniform rate applicable for the period for which the account has been opened as
per the interest rate structure for domestic term deposits effective on the date of opening of the account.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of monthly products reckoned on the minimum balance in the
account between the 10th and the last day of the month. Thus, the procedure would be identical to that
followed for savings bank accounts.
Going by the above procedure in the example referred to above, the account will not earn interest for the
month of May 1996, nor for the month of May 1999. In order to avoid such loss of interest to the depositor in
the terminal month the period of the deposit should be so fixed that the due date (the date on which the
account completes the contracted period falls on the first of the next month (within the overall ceiling of 10
years). Thus, in the example given above, the deposit should be accepted for a period of 3 years and 7 days
so as to fall due on 1st June 1999.

PAYMENT OF INTEREST
Interest as explained above would be calculated every half year at half yearly closing and would be credited
to the account as is done in the case of savings bank accounts.

LOAN AGAINST THE DEPOSIT


Loan up to 90% of the deposit amount outstanding may be granted at an interest rate of 2% p.a. above the
deposit rate for loans up to Rs. 2 lakhs. For loans above Rs. 2 lakhs, the rate
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

178

UCO BANK

of interest would be the PLR or 2% above the deposit rate whichever is higher. Usual documents like A-1 or
A-2, A-47, D-48 may be taken from the depositor at the time of granting loan. A Receipt, discharged on a
revenue stamp, should also be taken along with the relative Pass Book and should be kept with other
documents as is done in case of loans against deposit.

PAYMENT BEFORE MATURITY


Payments before maturity may be considered affording interest at 1% below the rate applicable for the period
for which the deposit has actually run. Methodology to be applied for premature payment is as under.
If an account, which has been opened for 5 years at the rate of 13% p.a. on 15th May 1996, premature
payment is requested on 1st June 1997, interest will have already been credited to the account half yearly in
September, 1996 and March 1997, at the rate of 13% p.a. Say, the total of such interest amount comes to Rs.
500/-. Because of premature payment, the rate of interest payable on the account would be 11% p.a.
(assuming that the applicable rate for 1 year to 2 years to be 12% p.a. and reducing the same by 1% p.a. as
penalty for premature withdrawal). Thus the actual amount to be paid up to March 1997 would be Rs. (500 x
11/13) = Rs. 423/-. To this, the interest for the months of April and May 1997 at the rate of 11% p.a. will
have to be added to arrive at the final amount to be paid to the depositor. Excess amount of interest, if any
credited to the account should be recovered at the time of premature payment.

STAFF ACCOUNT
Usual benefits available to the staff members in regard to the interest rate on the deposit as well as on the
margin and interest rate on loan granted against the deposit would be applicable in this case also.

HEAD OF ACCOUNT IN GENERAL LEDGER, BOOKS TO BE KEPT AND ACCOUNTING


PROCEDURE
A separate head should be opened in General Ledger by the name of UCO LAKSHMI YOJNA. All
transactions in these accounts should be vouched accordingly. Monthly balancing as is done in the case of
other deposit schemes should also be done for these accounts. Existing Savings bank ledger books can be
used for keeping ledger accounts of UCO LAKSHMI YOJNA as interest calculation etc. would be on the
same lines as those applicable to savings bank accounts. At the top of the ledger folio, besides account
number, name and address of the depositor and the tenure of the deposit as also the due date should be
mentioned. Savings Bank account, Pass Book can be conveniently used for this type of accounts also.
Interest paid on such deposits should be debited to Interest Paid on UCO LAKSHMI YOJANA account
which would be new head in P/L Subsidiary Ledger. For monthly deposits, pay-in-slips used

MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

UCO BANK

for normal recurring deposit accounts may be made use of. A separate head should be opened in Account
Opened and Closed register for accounts under UCO LAKSHMI YOJANA and account number may be
prefixed for suffixed by ULY for easier identification.

ELIGIBILITY AND TARGET GROUP


Branches will observe that unlike normal recurring deposit, the monthly instalments are variable in this
scheme. This should be helpful for those depositors whose monthly income is variable and for whom
depositing a fixed amount every time, as it required in the case of normal recurring deposit account, may be
somewhat inconvenient in particular depositors is rural and semi urban areas may come under this category
where many of the depositors will belong to non salary earning group. They can vary the instalment amount
to be deposited in any particular month depending on the amount that can be saved in that month. This
imparts considerable flexibility to the scheme.
Individuals including minors and associations of persons not engaged in any profit making venture would be
eligible to open accounts under this scheme.

ACCOUNT OPENING FORM


The Account Opening Form DS-1A (Combined) to be used for opening account under UCO LAKSHMI
YOJANA by individuals. The form is to be used for depositors other than Individual(s) depositors as per

Procedural Guidelines for Floating Rate Deposits


The broad features of Floating Rate Deposit Scheme have been advised to all offices and branches vide
Circular No. CHO/DEP/02/03-04 dated 08.04.2003. The following procedural guidelines are to be followed
by the branches for handling Floating Rate Deposits.

A. Fixation of Interest rate :


The interest rate initially applicable will be the same as that for three-year fixed-rate deposit as ruling
on the date of opening of the account. Thereafter the interest rate will
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

188

UCO BANK

be refixed at the rate applicable to three-year fixed-rate deposit as prevailing on 1st April and 1st
October every year.
Example :
A Floating Rate Deposit (FRD) for Rs. 100,000/- is opened on 28.05.2003. Another Floating Rate
Deposit (FRD) for Rs. 500,000/- is opened on 12.08.2003.
Let the three-year deposit rate for fixed-rate deposits be as under :
As on 28.05.2003

= 6.25%

On and from 12.07.2003

= 6.00%

On and from 18.12.2003

= 5.75%

Then the initial interest rate on Floating Rate Deposit opened on 28.05.2003 is 6.25%. And the
initial interest rate on Floating Rate Deposit opened on 12.08.2003 is 6.00%.
The above rates will continue up to 30.09.2003. Rate of interest will be reset as on 01.10.2003. The
rate applicable on both the deposits with effect from 01.10.2003 will be the same as that for three-year
fixed rate deposit as ruling on 01.10.2003 = 6.00%. This rate will continue from 01.10.2003 up to
31.03.2004 and will be reset to 5.75% w.e.f. 01.04.2004.
It may be noted that all Floating Rate Deposits issued up to the date of resetting (1st April/1st October)
will bear the same interest rate after resetting, irrespective of date of opening or term of the deposit.

B . Calculation of provisions for FRD under cumulative scheme :


The calculation of provision will be different from that applicable to fixed rate CFD, since the change
in interest rate has to be taken into account. The under noted method is to be followed :
Floating Rate Deposit for Rs. 100000/- opened on 28.05.2003.
Initial rate of interest = 6.25%.
Provision up to 30.06.2003 =

100000 x 34 (days) x 6.25

= Rs. 582/-

365 x 100

Provision up to 30.09.2003 = Rs. 582/- +

100582 x 6.25

Rs. 1572/- = Rs. 2154/-.

= Rs. 582/- +

4 x 100

Interest rate as on 01.10.2003 = 6%.


Provision up to 31.12.2003 = Rs. 2154/- +
Rs. 1532/- = Rs. 3686/-.
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART-I

102154 x 6
4 x 100

= Rs. 2154/- +

189

UCO BANK

Provision up to 31.03.2004 = Rs. 3686/- +

103686 x 6
4 x 100

Rs. 1555/- = Rs. 5241/-.

= Rs. 3686/- +

Provisions are to be recorded in the Balance Book as prescribed for CFD.


This amount will be credited to depositors account and TDS, if any, deducted from the account as per
guidelines for Cumulative Fixed Deposits.

C. Recording interest payments under Regular Income scheme :


For FRD under Regular Income Scheme, a separate Fly-Leaf having the following format may be
stapled with the Deposit Receipt, if the depositor so desires :
Date of payment

Interest for Quarter ending

Amount of interest

Initials

D. Recording of Interest rates :


The interest rates applicable to the portfolio are to be chronologically listed in a separate page of the
FRD (Regular Income) Register/CFD (FRD) Register-cum-Ledger in the manner :
Date

Rate applicable

01.04.2003

6.25%

01.10.2003

6.00%

01.04.2004

5.75%, and so on.

E. Conversion :
For converting a fixed rate FD/KY into FRD, the depositors will apply in writing along with the
existing FD/KY receipt and the A.O.F. and relative papers for Floating Rate Deposit duly filled in. The
existing FD/KY deposit will be prematurely closed but no penalty will be charged for such premature
closure. Then the Floating Rate Deposit account will be opened as a new deposit.

F. Nomination :
If the depositor chooses the option, as provided for in the AOF (Depositors Instruction part), for
marking of Nomination Registration Number on the FRD Receipt, such marking will be made on the
Receipt.
MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS VOL. 4 (DEPOSITS) PART

UCO BANK

G. Loans :

except for the resetting of interest on loan in tandem with the resetting of interest on the deposit with
effect from 1st April/1st October every year.

H. Overdue Deposit :
Rules for renewal of overdue Fixed Deposit (Floating Rate) will be the same as that of normal Fixed
Deposits.

8 . UCO SANJEEVAN BIMA YOJNA


The Bank has entered into an Agreement with the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI) for providing
an optional One Term Group Insurance Coverage to its individual Savings Bank and current Account
holders. Under the agreement Bank will act as MASTER POLICY-HOLDER for and on behalf of the
member-depositors.

Benefit to the depositor :


Member-depositors will get Life Insurance Coverage for period of one year (reckoned from 1st April to 31st
March) for a sum assured of Rs. 1.00 lakh against Natural Death and Rs. 2.00 Lakhs against Death due to
Accident. The policy is to be renewed every year. This being a One Term Group Insurance Scheme Surrender

a) Age : Individuals holding Savings bank/Current A/c, aged between 18 to 59 years are eligible

multiple membership, insurance claim will be entertained and paid to the nominee of the oldest
policy and the premium, if any recovered from other accounts of the deceased will be refunded
to the respective nominees. Even then, such multiple membership may lead to legal
complications and care should be taken by the Branch to preclude such a situation. It may be
noted that Life Insurance Corporation of India will not entertain any direct correspondence from
Member/beneficiary under the Scheme.
c) Medical examination : The necessity for Medical Examination of the applicant has

10. Payment to such other institution, association or body or class of institutions, associations or bodies
which the Central Government may notify in this behalf in the Official Gazette.

5 . IMPORTANT POINTS TO TAKE A NOTE


1. Time Deposits which have been received by the branch either by way of fresh deposit or by way of
renewal of old deposit on or after 01/07/1995 are subject to TDS from the date of such receipt or
renewal as the case may be.
2. The Term Deposits, which became overdue by 30/6/1995, had they been renewed on the due date i.e. on or
before 30/06/1995, it would not have attracted TDS. But, in many cases, due to failure on the part of
depositors to come to Bank on due date for renewal, the deposits remain overdue for renewal. If such
overdue Term Deposits are renewed latest by 31/12/1995, the same would not attract TDS. But, when
these overdue Term Deposits are renewed on or after 01/01/1996, they are subject to TDS despite the
fact that such Term Deposit takes effect from a date prior to 01/07/1995.
3. Time Deposits which existed in the branch prior to 01/07/1995 are outside the purview; of Deduction of
Tax at Source.
4. TDS is not slab oriented. It means, if the amount of interest payable/paid during a financial year does not
exceed Rs. 5,000/-, no tax is to be deducted. But, if it exceeds Rs. 5,000/- then tax is to be deducted as
per applicable rate on the whole amount of interest payable/paid.
5. Since TDS is to be applied on the amount of interest payable, the interest provided for KY and DC account
is also subject to TDS as would be credited to the account at the end of financial year.
6. TDS is applicable on the aggregate amount of interest paid/payable within a financial year on per
depositor per branch basis.
7. When in a Time Deposit account there are more than one depositor, the first named depositor is liable for
TDS.
8. Deduction of Tax on interest is statutory and is independent of depositors consent or denial, except in the
following cases.

6 . BRANCHES NEED NOT DEDUCT TAX


1. Where a resident Individual (depositor) has furnished with the Bank is declaration in duplicate in Form
15H (U/s 197 (1A) of IT Act 1961) to the effect that the tax on his estimated

2.

Individuals etc. and they submit Form No. 15A (Ref : CHO/SUA/26/92 dated 16/3/1992)

7.

WHEN TAX IS TO BE DEDUCTED

1.

As and when interest is paid to the depositor or credited to his account either at maturity
or at foreclosure of Time Deposit.

2.

Interest less than the taxable amount is paid on different dates on different occasions,
but when the interest amount, so paid exceeds Rs. 5000/- in aggregate during a Financial
Year.

3.

be treated as if the amount of interest was paid on that date)

4.

For cumulative Fixed Deposits like KY and DC, when the interest is credited to individual
accounts in RCL on accrual basis which is usually done on last working day of the year.

8.

FORM 15-H AND ROLE OF BRANCH

1.

2.

But, it is to be ensured that the declaration contains full name, address and signature
(as per specimen signature recorded at the branch) of the depositor.

3.

and signature at the appropriate place.
