Dear Sir / Madam,

Distribution of Banknotes & Coins – Review of Incentives & Penalties

Please refer to Sl No.4 of our Circular DCM (CC) No.G-10/03.39.01/2013-14 dated August 12, 2013, whereby we had extended the scheme of Incentives for reimbursement of Installation of Note Sorting Machines (NSMs) to RRBs & UCBs up to 50% of cost of installation in urban / metropolitan areas and 75% in semi-urban and rural areas.

2. On a review, it has now been decided to extend the scheme of incentives for Installation of Note Sorting Machines (NSMs) to all licensed State Co-operative Banks and District Central Co-operative Banks also.

3. This revision comes into force with immediate effect. All other instructions including those for reimbursement for establishment of Coin Vending Machines contained in our Master Circular dated July 01, 2013 shall apply to all the machines including NSMs.

4. Please acknowledge receipt.

Yours faithfully,

(B.P. Vijayendra)
Principal Chief General Manager
