Consequent upon setting up of Fraud Monitoring Cell (FrMC) in the Department of Banking Supervision with effect from June 1, 2004, the work relating to monitoring and follow-up of frauds in UCBs was transferred to Fraud Monitoring Cell (FrMC). Accordingly, DBS (FrMC) have issued Master Circular vide their Circulars DBS. FrMC BC.

BC.No.7/23.04.001/2006- 07 dated July 27, 2006. All the urban co-operative banks were requested to carefully go through the new guidelines and reporting requirements as contained in the Master Circular.
2. In this connection, attention is invited to the instructions contained in paragraphs 4.1.1, 4.2.1 and 8.2 of the DBS (FrMC) Master Circular dated December 16, 2005. The Primary (Urban) Co-operative Banks are required to furnish the data on frauds, thefts, burglaries etc., in format FMR – 2, 3, and 4 on a quarterly basis to the Regional Offices of UBD under whose jurisdiction the Head Office of the bank is situated, within 15 days of the end of the quarter to which the data relates.
