RBI to inspect bank chests

Our Bureau

KOLKATA, June 16

THE Reserve Bank of India is to shortly start inspection of currency chests of various banks, including State Bank of India, to detect soiled notes in stapled condition.

The inspection follows the report that several banks, instead of remitting the soiled notes in unstapled condition to RBI, continue to hold them in stapled condition in their currency chests. This is in violation of the RBI's order.The banks are worried at the RBI move. The existence of stapled notes in the chests, if detected by the RBI team may have some adverse consequences. The licence of the chests might be cancelled. The staff concerned might be made accountable.
