Clean Note Policy - Stapling of Note Packets

RBI/2006-2007/241
RPCD.CO.RF.BC No.43/ 07.38.03/2006-07

Dear Sir

Clean Note Policy - Stapling of Note Packets

It is observed that despite instructions issued by the Reserve bank of India, banks still continue to follow the practice of stapling of note packets. This practice, apart from damaging notes, reduces the life span of notes and renders it difficult for customers to open note packets easily.

2. It is also observed that banks do not sort notes into re-issuables and non-issuables and issue soiled notes to the public. Banks also continue to follow the practice of writing number of note pieces in loose packets on watermark window of notes, which disfigures the water mark impression and renders it difficult for easy recognition.

3. It has, therefore, been decided that hereinafter and with immediate effect :

a. banks should do away with stapling of any note packets and instead secure them with paper bands,

b. banks should sort notes into re-issuables and non-issuables, and issue only clean notes to public. Soiled notes in unstapled condition may be tendered at the Reserve Bank in inward remittances through Currency Chests; and,

c. banks should forthwith stop writing of any kind on watermark window of bank notes.

4. Accordingly, our Directive RPCD CO.RF.Dir. No.44/07.38.03/2006-07 dated January 31, 2007 is enclosed.

5. Please acknowledge receipt to the Regional Office concerned.

Yours faithfully,

(C.S.Murthy)
Chief General Manager-in-Charge
