 DUTY OF COUNTER ASSISTANTS

It has been decided that the duty hours should be so fixed as to require the official attend office 15 minutes before the prescribed time to commencement of the counter. This will enable official to attend the transactions precisely at the time mentioned in the hours of business.

It is important to note that the change is not to make allowance for late attendance of counter Assistants, but in recognition of genuine practical problem and to render timely service to the customers. The purpose will be defeated if the counter Asst. delays his arrival at the office.

This arrangement is to be ensured by suitably costing the hours of attendance of officials. It is expected that this change will be effective every where by Sept. 1990. This is a standing instruction.

The matter has been examined in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India. The Reserve Bank of India has intimated that according to the procedure prescribed by them whenever a forged note is detected, it is required to be impounded and forwarded to the Police authorities for investigations by the bank. Under no circumstances the note can be returned to the tenderer or otherwise disposed of by the bank officials. The amount of short-fall is either recovered in cash or the amount is debited to the account of tenderer maintained with the bank. They have further intimated that State Bank authorities do not destroy such notes.

The matter was further examined with reference to the Departmental rules, In terms of Rule 55 of F.H.B. Vol.-I acceptance of counterfeit coins or notes is regarded as a loss of cash.
