Subsequently, banks and FIs were advised to submit, separately, a complete list of suit-filed accounts of Rs. 1 crore and above as on 31 March for publication purposes and quarterly update showing deletion from/addition to the above list, vide revised instructions and format given in Annexure III to our circular DBOD.

We may add that while complete list of suit-field accounts as on 31 March is published in booklet form, this list and its quarterly updates are available in RBI website
