December 5, 2000

The Chairmen/Chief Executives
of all commercial banks,

 

Dear Sir,

Credit extended to Diamond Exporters -
Embargo on import of conflict diamonds

Please refer to our Circular IECD No.1/04.02.02/2000-2001 dated July 13, 2000 on the above subject. UN Security Council Resolution No.1306 (2000) has further imposed a prohibition on the direct/indirect import of all rough diamonds from Sierra Leone. Accordingly, it has been decided that the banks should obtain an undertaking in the enclosed revised format from such of the clients who are extended credit for doing any business relating to diamonds.

2. You are also advised to furnish the details (name and address) of diamond industry clients from whom an undertaking in the revised format has been obtained so as to reach us on or before December 31, 2000. Any future addition/deletion may also be advised to us on a half yearly basis as at the end of June and December.

3. Further, you may furnish at half yearly intervals, a statement containing information regarding alleged violations, of the prohibition imposed, so as to reach us within a period of 15 days from the end of the half-year to which it relates. In case, there is no information, a 'nil' statement may be sent. The first such return should relate to the period ending December 2000.

4. Please acknowledge receipt.

Yours faithfully,

(Smt.R.K.Makhija)
General Manager
