DEPOSIT POLICY OF THE BANK. For the year 2012-2013. Revised Deposit Policy of the Bank.

1. Preamble One of the important functions of the Bank is to accept deposits from the public for the purpose of lending. In fact, depositors are the major stake holders of the Banking system. The depositors and their interests form the key area of the regulatory framework for banking in India and this has been enshrined in the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The Reserve Bank of India is empowered to issue directives/ advices on interest rates on deposits and other aspects regarding conduct of the deposit accounts from time to time. With liberalization in the financial system and deregulation of interest rates, Banks are now free to formulate deposit policy within the broad guidelines issued by RBI. This Policy document on deposits outlines the guiding principles in respect of formulation of various deposit products by the Bank and terms and conditions governing the conduct of the account. The document recognizes the rights of depositors and aims at dissemination of information with regard to various aspects of acceptance of deposits from the members of the public, conduct and operations of various deposit accounts, payment of interest on various deposit accounts, closure of deposit accounts, closure of deposit accounts, method of disposal of deposits of deceased depositors, etc, for the benefit of the customers. It is expected that this document will impart greater transparency in dealing with the individual customers and create awareness among customers of their rights. The ultimate objective is that the customer will get services they are rightfully entitled to receive without demand. While adopting this policy, the bank reiterates its commitments to individual customers outlined in code of Banks Commitment to Customer adopted by the Bank.
