Application: Obtain an undertaking that the applicant is not availing credit facility with any other
bank. All the particulars in the account opening forms signed by customers are recorded in the
system and the account opening form (AOF) and all other related documents like proof of

The relevance of putting a date on the cheque is to ascertain whether the cheque is
current or stale. Therefore, a cheque written in Hindi and bearing a date as per National

drawer gives ground for suspicion, the customer, on whose account the cheque is drawn, should
be advised direct on form no. PNB-114.
Making Account Operative: Current Account if not operated for 24 months becomes
inoperative. On receiving the request to make it operative, while transferring accounts from

by debiting the amount to inoperative account and crediting it to the operative account, which
will be checked by a checking official. The relative account opening form and specimen signature
slip will suitably be re-placed in the files and binders of operative accounts.
Account Closing: If a depositor closes his account, within twelve months of its opening, the
prescribed charges will be recovered. While applying for closing of the account, the pass book
and the unused cheque forms, if any, should be returned to the bank. The pass book, after
completion will be returned to the depositor, if so desired. The bank may close Current account,
without assigning any reason, after giving one month notice in writing to the depositor.
Balance Confirmation Letters: Current Accounts (with debit balance only) and Cash Credit
accounts balances should be periodically confirmed by the account holders. Accordingly Balance
Confirmation letters (Form no. PNB-139) for balance in current (with debit balance only) and
cash credit accounts will be issued as at the 30th September and 31st March each year. BC letters
confirming balances be obtained once in a year in all Standard/Regular loan accounts from the
borrowers and guarantors. In accounts other than standard/ regular, BC letters confirming balance
be obtained from the borrowers and guarantors on half yearly basis i.e. as on 31st March and 30th

deposit will not be issued unless the debit balance exceeds the value of security and/or the deposit
under pledge matures after two years and above from the date of advance. A Revenue Stamp will
be affixed to Form no. PNB-139 or stamped according to the Stamp Act of the State, where it is
executed, the cost of the stamp being debited to the customer's account. Confirmation letters for
cash credit and overdraft accounts should be presented to the borrowers for signature personally

obtained. In the case of customers residing at outstations, their signatures on confirmation letters
should be obtained through a local branch and, where there is no branch of the bank, the letter

Depository services in India
A depository is an organization where the securities of an investor are held in electronic form. To
avail of the services of a depository, an investor has to open an account with the Depository
through a depository participant, just as he opens an account with the bank. Holding shares in the
account is akin to holding money in the bank. Besides, a depository also provides services
related to transactions in securities.
At present, India has only two depositoriesNational Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) and
Central Depository Services Ltd (CDSL). NSDL is the first depository started functioning in
India, whereas CDSL followed it. However, most of the services offered by both these
depositories are similar.

Facility of e-Insurance Account to Banks clients
(MBD circular no.MBD/GEN/03/2015 Dated: 13.02.2015)
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) has developed a system that will
store all insurance policies in electronic mode thus delivering benefits of insurance services in a
speedy, transparent, efficient, cost effective and secured manner to the policyholder. Insurance
Repository (IR) is a unique concept towards achieving this goal. IR is a central database wherein
every insured person/entity can have easy access to the details of their insurance policies and can
request for various services on such policies. Individuals can hold all the insurance policies in
electronic format in a single account. To begin with, this service is made available to Life
Insurance policies.
IRDA has entrusted NSDL Database Management Limited (NDML), a wholly owned
subsidiary of National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) to set up and manage insurance
repository by granting approval on July 31, 2013. NDML has named its insurance repository as
National Insurance-policy Repository (NIR). Our Bank has become Approved Person
(AP) for providing e-Insurance account (eIA) facility to its clients.
Retail Deposit:Page84of115

In NIR, the proposer will open an electronic insurance account (eIA) and the insurance
company will credit the policies bought by the proposer in this eIA. Thus, the proposer can view
all the policies that they have purchased (presently only life policy) in a single eIA. It will do
away with all the lacunae of holding the insurance policies in physical form.
eIA will also facilitate common Know Your Customer (KYC) for eIA holder. The KYC done
while opening an eIA, will eliminate the need of separate KYC of the same proposer every time
an insurance policy is purchased. eIA also acts as a single point of contact for the account holder
to update demographic details with all the insurance companies with whom insurance policies are
held. It will also facilitate conversion of the existing paper policies into electronic policies at the
request of the policy holders.
Establishment of insurance repository is a huge development and a positive step for the reasons: Digitization helps clients to hold their financial assets in one place.
It saves the cost of stamp duty.

Benefits of holding Insurance Policies in electronic form


Safety: There is no risk of loss or damage of a policy as is common with paper policies;
the electronic form ensures that the policies are in safe custody and can be easily
accessed whenever and wherever needed. A copy of the policy can be downloaded at any
time.
Convenience: All Insurance policies, be it life, pension, health or general, can be
electronically held under a single e-Insurance A/ct.. The details of any of the policies can
be accessed at any time by logging on to the online portal of Insurance Repository.
Single Point of Service: Service requests in respect of e-Insurance Account or any of the
electronic policy can be submitted at any of Insurance Repositorys service points. A
single request can sometimes cater to the requirements of several Insurers. As an
illustration, a single change of address request made to the Insurance Repository can
update the policies issued by multiple Insurers.
Single view: Single view of all policies will be made available to an authorized person in
case of death of the e-Insurance Account holder.
Benefits of holding Insurance policies in electronic form to client
The Insurance Repository does a KYC to open an e-Insurance Account and provides a
welcome kit and helps with the details of how to use the account.
The e-Insurance A/c & all servicing would be offered Free of cost to the policy holder.
The policyholders at the time of taking a policy or any time later can make a request for
an e-Insurance account with the Insurance Repositories and have the policies credited to
the account.
Both new and existing Life, Annuities, Health and General insurance policies can all be
credited to this account. However, during the initial phase, the Life insurance policies
would be credited to this account. The General insurance and Group insurance policies
would be credited subsequently.
Retail Deposit:Page85of115

The Insurers would be sending an insurance information sheet containing the basic details
of insurance policy when a new electronic policy is issued.
The Insurance Repositories provide facility for online payment of premiums by the policy
holders and payouts(claims) by the Insurers and handle several other servicing needs.
Upon receipt of a service request, the Insurance Repository would handle areas that fall
within scope of their services directly and would forward the others to the Insurer.
The policyholder can appoint an Authorized Representative who can access the eInsurance Account on the demise/disability of the policyholder to facilitate the nominees
in the claim processing.
The e-Insurance Account holder will have an option to shift from one repository to the
other.
A statement of account giving the details of all policies held electronically shall be
provided annually.
The e-Insurance Account holder will get SMS alerts and e-mail alerts on premium and
maturity claim updates.

6. SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN (SIP) CONCEPT AND FEATURES
Investing a fixed sum, regularly in a mutual fund
Allows one to buy units in a particular scheme on a given date every month
Similar to regular savings schemes like a recurring deposit
Advantages of SIP

The reason that mutual funds are so popular is that they offer the ability to easily invest in
increasingly more complicated financial markets. A large part of the success of mutual
funds is also the advantages they offer in terms of diversification, professional
management and liquidity.

Power of Compounding - The longer the period of your investment, the more wealth
you accumulate because of the power of compounding. Thats why it makes sense to start
investing early. Simply put, the incremental returns that you earned on your principal
plus the accrued gains is compounding.

Rupee Cost Averaging - Most investors want to buy stocks when the prices are low and
sell them when the prices are high. But timing the market is time consuming and risky. A
more successful investment strategy is to adopt this method called Rupee Cost
Averaging. By investing in an SIP you end up buying more units when the price is low
and fewer when the price is high.

A monthly SIP helps in averaging out the cost of purchase and benefit from power of
compounding.

It also helps in creating wealth over a longer time period.

7. STP (Systematic Transfer Plan)

At regular intervals, an amount as per option is transferred from one mutual fund scheme
to another. Typically, a minimum period of six months of such transfers is to be agreed
on by investors.

Retail Deposit:Page92of115

As per need a daily, weekly, monthly or a quarterly transfer plan can be selected

How is it useful

STP is a useful tool to take a step by step exposure into equities or to reduce exposure
over a period of time. e.g. - you have Rs. 10 lac to invest in equity over a period of time.
You could put this amount in the liquid fund of a mutual fund or a shortterm bond
fund. This gives an opportunity to earn liquid/ debt fund returns on the residual amount
which remains in the source scheme. You then start an STP where every month a
predetermined amount will be invested into an equity fund. This helps in deploying
funds at regular intervals in equities with minimum timing risk. Typically the STPs are
useful to take advantage of the volatile equity markets wherein, instead of investing all
the inevitable amount by the investor at one go, he spreads his investments over a time
period, thus lowering his cost of purchase while getting some fixed income returns on his
balance money n a liquid/ debt scheme

8. Important Terms
Net Asset Value (NAV): Net Asset Value is the market value of the assets of the scheme
minus its liabilities. The per unit NAV is the net asset value of the scheme divided by the
number of units outstanding on the Valuation Date.
Sale Price: Is the price you pay when you invest in a scheme. It is also called Offer Price. It
may include a sales load.
Repurchase Price: Is the price at which units under open-ended schemes are repurchased by
the Mutual Fund. Such prices are NAV related.
Redemption Price: Is the price at which close-ended schemes redeem their units on
maturity. Such prices are NAV related.
Sales Load: Is a charge collected by a scheme when it sells the units. It is also called, Frontend load. Schemes that do not charge a load are called No Load schemes.
Repurchase or Back-end Load: Is a charge collected by a scheme when it buys back the
units from the unit holders.

Draft of Rs.50000/- and above against deposit of cash. Similarly, multiple cash

management products, should be reported to Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU)

9. Renewal of Policies and Persistency Guidelines


One of the most important aspects of servicing of regular premium policy is timely collection of
renewal premium so as to maintain continuity of the policy. This aspect in insurance terminology
is referred as Persistency. IRDA, insurance regulator has come out with various guidelines on
persistency of Life Insurance Policies to be complied with by agents.
It is extremely important to collect renewal premium due to following reasons:
a. In terms of service-line agreement executed with the PNB MetLife, bank is
required to maintain minimum persistency level of 73%. In case branches are not
able to maintain the desired the persistency level, the bank/branches may not
only lose commission on the renewal premium not collected, but the PNB
MetLife may slash the commission rates for the fresh business. Hence, it should
be our target and endeavour to ensure hundred percent persistency level.
Retail Deposit:Page107of115

b. Renewal of policies is important from customers' perspective as policy benefits


would only be available to customer if policy is active.
c. Bank would get commission on renewal premium collected from policies which
is a source of direct revenue for branches and bank.
d. Non-renewal of policies would lead to customer complaints and concerns which
may lead to bad reputation for the Bank.
10. Process for Settlement of Claims:
10.1 In terms of Code of Conduct prescribed by the IRDA for Corporate Agents, bank is required
to extend all possible help and cooperation to the nominee of insured in completion of all
formalities and documentation in the event of a claim. Hence, it is imperative that our field
functionaries, especially the Specified Persons, are fully conversant with the claim process
designed by M/s PNB MetLife.

intra-net portal i.e. PNB Knowledge Centre, Knowledge Repository,.

requirements;

address, contact number etc

The proposed clients read/understand the prospectus and proposal form carefully
before purchasing the policy;
Capture complete details of the client from the proposal form once it is signed by

D) Life Insurance Policy mainly provides risk coverage for life but it is also a tool for long term
investment involving long term commitment. So educate the Client to:
Check the mode of premium payment, term of policy, maturity benefits, lock in
period, if any, surrender value etc;
Pay the premium regularly and promptly to avoid policy lapsing;
Inform the family members about purchase of insurance policy and its benefits;
E) Educate the clients to never fall prey to:
Fictitious offers made by spurious callers promising high returns or unreasonable
gain.
Immediately inform the bank if any fictitious caller makes a call on behalf of
bank soliciting insurance business making false claims;
Calls made in the name of IRDA offering bonus or profits on investment as
IRDA does not involve itself in sale of any insurance products etc.
