CHAPTER 13

TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVES OF THE BANK

Alternate Delivery Channel Products including various types of Cards New Age payment and settlement mechanisms e.g. RTGS, NEFT,ECS, CTS etc. Other initiatives e.g. ASBA. Xpress money transfer, CMS, CRM. BCP Guidelines

1. Alternate Delivery Channel Products: The alternate delivery channel products are those

products using which we can offer the banking services to our customers outside the brick and mortar bank premises, i.e. the customer need not visit the branch for banking needs. Our bank has launched many such IT enabled products.

Various Types of Cards: The IT enabled cards include ATM Cards, Debit cards, Credit Cards and Smart Cards.

ATM Cards Debit Cards Credit Cards Smart Cards ATM cards are the magnetic strip based cards which can be used to withdraw money from ATMs. These cannot be used to make purchases at Point of Sale (POS) i.e. at merchant establishment.

Debit cards are also magnetic strip based cards and in addition to performing the function of withdrawing cash from the ATMs, these can also be used to make purchases at Point of Sale i.e. at merchant establishment. These can also be known as buy now pay now cards

Credit cards are also magnetic strip based cards. In contrast with debit cards, these are the cards with preset credit limits. These can be used to make purchases at Point of Sale i.e. at merchant establishment, as well as to withdraw cash from ATMs. These can also be known as buy now pay later cards

These cards are chip based cards. The chips in these cards are capable of many kinds of transactions. For example, you could make purchases from your credit account, debit account or from a stored account value that's reloadable. The enhanced memory and processing capacity of the smart card is many times that of traditional magnetic-stripe cards and can accommodate several different applications on a single card.

1. ATM Cards PNB MITRA ATM Cards

2. Signature Based Cards: In these cards the POS transactions can be done by signing the charge slips and punching of PIN is not required. However, in order to withdraw from ATMs the functionality is same for both types of cards. Another difference between PIN based and signature based cards is that the latter can be used for making e – Banking transactions over Internet whereas the former cannot be used for the same. There are 2 types of signature based cards:

RBI Guidelines on Mobile Banking Services

1. Transaction Limit: Banks are permitted to offer this service to their customers subject to a daily cap of `. 50,000/- per day per customer for both funds transfer and transactions involving purchase of goods / services.

2. Technology and Security Standard : Transactions up to ` 1000/- can be facilitated by banks without end-to-end encryption. The risk aspects involved in such transactions may be addressed by the banks through adequate security measures.

3. Remittance of funds for disbursement in cash: In order to facilitate the use of mobile phones for remittance of cash, banks are permitted to provide fund transfer services which facilitate transfer of funds from the accounts of their customers for delivery in cash to the recipients. The disbursal of funds to recipients of such services can be facilitated at ATMs or through any agent(s) appointed by the bank as business correspondents. Such fund transfer service shall be provided by banks subject to the following conditions::

i. The maximum value of such transfers shall be ` 5000/- per transaction. ii. Banks may place suitable cap on the velocity of such transactions,

subject to a maximum value of ` 25,000/- per month, per customer. iii. The disbursal of funds at the agent/ATM shall be permitted only after

2. New Age Payment and Settlement mechanisms: With the increasing usage of

technology, the traditional instruments of settlement of interbank funds i.e. Drafts, paper based Clearing are giving way to RTGS/NEFT,ECS, NECS, CTS.

1. Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS)

RTGS (Real Time Gross settlement) is on line system through which inter-bank fund transfers take place. The transfer mechanism is controlled, monitored and settled by Reserve Bank of India. Transactions are settled transaction by transaction throughout the day during stipulated timings. RTGS is fastest mode of inter-bank transfer of funds and customer receives the funds with certainty on the same day. In RTGS the fund transfer is done in structured message formats. Our Bank’s product of RTGS is known as “PNB Insta – Remit”.

IT-P-S 13 -Page 16 of 27

Types of messages sent through RTGS

The outward messages sent by the branches are of following two types: 1. R41 messages i.e. the messages to be sent on behalf of the customers in

which the debit A/c has to be a customer account. 2. R42 messages i.e. the messages to be sent by the Bank for Inter Bank

Global Message Structures

Globally there are four types of message flow structures in RTGS (V,Y,L,T). In India we use “Y” Structure.

Concept of IFSC and UTR no.

IFSC: It expands to Indian Financial System Code and it is uniformly 11 characters in length for the entire Indian Banking Industry. In case of our Bank it is in the form of “PUNB+0+Four digit D.No.+00”i.e. for a branch having distinctive no. 1874, the IFSC would be PUNB0187400.

UTR No.: It expands to Unique Transaction No. Once a message is created the system generates one UTR No. which is unique to each and every message and it is uniformly 16 characters in length for the entire Banking industry.

Bulk Upload of RTGS / NEFT Transactions

A new feature has been incorporated in the existing RTGS architecture supported by our Bank which allows for Upload of Bulk RTGS transactions. The user can upload the RTGS/NEFT bulk transaction file using the PCUNIX and RTGSBULK menu options.

2. National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) NEFT is an application by which customers can transfer funds from one bank account to another bank account in India in an efficient, secure, economical, reliable and expeditious system. This mode is used to transfer funds of smaller amount. The transfer mechanism is controlled, monitored and settled by Reserve Bank of India. Transactions are settled in batches on the basis of net settlement, throughout the day during stipulated timings. Types of messages sent through NEFT

The outward messages structure used by the branches is N06 messages i.e. the messages to be sent on behalf of the customers in which the debit A/c has to be a customer account. The messages can be sent using the menu option HRTGS.

Remittance between India and Nepal through NEFT

Remittance to Nepal can be facilitated through NEFT. A ceiling of ` 50000.00 has been fixed per remittance with a maximum of 12 transactions per year. Nepal SBI Ltd. Is the Nodal bank. Originating bank – Maximum ` 5/- per transaction – aligned with NEFT. State Bank of India – ` 20/- per transaction. SBI would share this `.20/ with NSBL at `.10 each. NSBL would not charge any additional amount for crediting the beneficiary, if he maintains an account with it. In case the beneficiary does not maintain an account with NSBL then, an additional amount would be charged- ` 50/- for remittances up to ` 5,000/- and ` 75/- for remittance above 5,000/-.

3. Electronic Clearing Services (ECS) Mode of electronic funds transfer from one bank account to another bank account using the services of a Clearing House. It is normally used for bulk transfers from one account to many accounts or vice-versa. It is a mode of electronic funds transfer for transactions that are repetitive and periodic in nature. Types of ECS Primarily, there are two variants of ECS:

1. ECS Credit: It is used for affording credit to a large number of beneficiaries having accounts with bank branches at various locations within the jurisdiction of an ECS Centre by raising a single debit to an account of a bank (that maintains the account of the user institution). ECS Credit enables payment of amounts towards distribution of dividend, interest, salary, pension, etc., of the user institution. The ECS users intending to effect payments have to submit the data in a specified format to one of the approved clearing houses.

2. ECS Debit: It is used for raising debits to a large number of accounts maintained with bank branches at various locations within the jurisdiction of

IT-P-S 13 -Page 18 of 27

a ECS Centre for single credit to an account of a bank (that maintains the account of the user institution). ECS Debit is useful for payment of telephone / electricity / water bills, cess / tax collections, loan installment repayments, periodic investments in mutual funds, etc., that are periodic or repetitive in nature and payable to the user institution. The ECS user has to collect an authorization which is called ECS mandate for raising such debits.

MICR Code MICR is an acronym for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. The MICR Code is a numeric code that uniquely identifies a bank-branch participating in the ECS Credit scheme. This is a 9 digit code to identify the location of the bank branch; the first 3 characters represent the city, the next 3 the bank and the last 3 the branch. The MICR Code allotted to a bank branch is printed on the MICR band of cheque leaves issued by bank branches.

Limit Of Transactions in ECS

At present there is no value limit on the amount of transactions in ECS (Credit) or ECS (Debit)

Product price / Charges in case of ECS:

A) ECS: CREDIT CLEARING: Charges (per data entry/record) SPONSOR BANK: Minimum charges `.2000/- + charges payable to RBI and Destination Bank, if any. a) Upto 10000 records @`.5/- per record + charges payable to RBI and

Destination Bank, if any. b) Above 10000 to 100000 records @`.3/- per record + charges payable to RBI and

Destination Bank, if any. (Subject to a minimum of `.50,000/-).

c) Above 100000 records

@`.2/- per record + charges payable to RBI and Destination Bank, if any. (Subject to a minimum of `.3, 00,000/-.

2. Charges Payable to Destination Bank and/or RBI: On actual basis, i.e., as waived/ prescribed by RBI from time to time. B) ECS: Debit Clearing ( Inclusive of service Tax and Education Cess) ECS: Debit Clearing: `.3/- per transaction charges Minimum charges `.2000/- + charges payable to RBI and destination Bank, if any. SUBJECT TO RECOVERY OF ALL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES INCLUDING PROCESSING CHARGES IN CASE THEY ARE EVER AGAIN LEVIED BY RESERVE BANK OF INDIA. C) A sum of `.100/- be levied as returning charges on return of ECS (Debit) on account of Insufficient Funds. D) Full waiver in respect of INCOME TAX REFUND ORDERS: Reserve Bank of India vide

their circular No. RBI/2004/90- DBGA. GAD No. H-767/42.01.034/2003-04 dated 9.3.2004 on the subject has conveyed that Government has taken a decision to implement Electronic Clearing services (ECS) credit for direct tax refunds. Accordingly, no ECS charges be levied in respect of Income Tax Refund Orders

4. National Electronic Clearing Services (NECS) The service aims to centralize the Electronic Clearing Service (ECS) operation and bring in uniformity and efficiency to the system. Presently, ECS system functions in a decentralized manner requiring users to prepare separate set of ECS data centre-wise. NECS (Credit) would facilitate multiple credits to beneficiary accounts destination branch at participating centre against a single debit of the account of a user with the sponsor bank. NECS (Debit) would facilitate multiple debits to destination account holders against single credit to user account. At present, only NECS (Credit) is operational. The system has a pan-India characteristic leveraging on Core Banking Solutions (CBS) of member banks.

IT-P-S 13 -Page 19 of 27

This would facilitate all CBS bank branches to participate in the system, irrespective of their locations. In the new set-up, users have to prepare one consolidated NECS file and submit it centrally to the NCC, Nariman Point, Mumbai, through their sponsor banks. The sponsor banks would make use of the web-server provided for the purpose. The web-server also has the facility to get on-line data validation so that error free data could be uploaded for processing.

5. Cheque Truncation System (CTS) Truncation is the process of stopping the flow of the physical cheque issued by a drawer to the drawee branch. The physical instrument will be truncated at some point en-route to the drawee branch and an electronic image of the cheque would be sent to the drawee branch along with the relevant information like the MICR fields, date of presentation, presenting banks etc. Thus with the implementation of cheque truncation, the need to move the physical instruments across branches would not be required, except in exceptional circumstances. This would effectively reduce the time required for payment of cheques, the associated cost of transit and delay in processing, etc., thus speeding up the process of collection or realization of the cheques. Some facts about CTS

1. At present on PILOT basis the CTS project is implemented in NCR, New Delhi

2. Process Flow of CTS: The CTS project envisages a safe, secured, faster and effective system for

clearing of the cheques. The presenting bank will capture the data & images of the cheques using

their Capture System. The banks will send the captured images and data to the central clearing

house for onward transmission to the payee/drawee banks. For that purpose RBI will be providing the banks software called the

Clearing House Interface (CHI) that will enable them to connect and transmit data in a secure way and with non-repudiation to the Clearing House (CH).

The Clearing House will process the data and arrive at the settlement figure for the banks and send the required data to payee/drawee banks for processing at their end.

The drawee/payee banks will use the same CHI mentioned earlier for receiving the data and images from the Clearing House.

It will be the responsibility of the drawee bank Capture System to process the inward data and images and generate the return file for unpaid instruments.

3. The image specification of the electronic images of the truncated cheque will be in grey scale technology. This has been decided to optimize on the bandwidth requirement for transmission of image.

4. In order to ensure the quality of image an Image Quality Audit (IQA) is performed before the transmission of the image. Further the drawee bank can still ask for the physical instrument if it is not satisfied that the image quality is not good enough for payment processing.

5. The security, integrity, non-repudiation and authenticity of the data and image transmitted from the paying bank to payee bank will be ensured using the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). The CTS is compliant to the requirement of the IT Act, 2000.

6. The images of cheques to be preserved for 8 years. Type of Cheques to be presented in CTS

All the local cheques can be presented in the CTS. Banks may also present cheques on banks situated outside the NCR, but such banks have branches in the NCR region. The CTS also supports the intercity clearing and specialized clearing like high value clearing etc. The on-us instruments where both presenting and drawee banks are same are not allowed in the CTS. Images of such instruments would be stopped at the Clearing House Interface itself.

3. Other IT Initiatives: In addition to the alternate delivery channels of Banking and the new

age payment and settlement instruments, there are a host of other IT initiatives some of which are as under:

1. ASBA

What is ASBA ? ASBA (Additional Mode of Payment through applications supported by Blocked Amount) can be accessed from FINACLE main screen The link is used for applying public issues. It contains an authorization to block the application money in bank account by marking a lien on the same. Our bank is now registered with SEBI as Self Certified Syndicate Bank (SCSB). SCSB is a bank which offers facility of applying through ASBA process. ASBA is also available to the investors directly through a link on www.pnbindia.com or www.pnbindia.in . Capital Market Service branch at Mumbai shall act as controlling branch for Registrar to the issue, Stock exchange and Merchant bank. The following are the features:

No Cheque is issued There is no clearing of instrument. The money remains in the account and earns interest. Lien is marked and the money is appropriated on allotment without

involvement of physical refund. The procedure is that Application data will be captured in Off line tool and uploaded through Text File by using menu option “UPLLIEN”.

Role of Designated branch (DB) at the time of accepting the application forms

An ASBA investor intending to subscribe to a book built public issue shall submit an ASBA application form physically to the Designated Branches (DB) The DB will proceed as under:

The application must be on specified ASBA Form, authorizing the SCSB to lien mark his account with the application amount.

The total value of application not to exceed `. 1, 00,000. The application form is properly filled up particularly the PAN No. of the

investor, Demat Account details and is duly signed. If the investor and the account holder are the different person then the

application must have the signature of the investor and ASBA Lien Mark authority letter must have the signature of the CBS account holder of PNB

No application will be accepted before the issue opens. Also no application will be accepted after the closing date and time as instructed by the CB.

The signature on ASBA Lien Mark authority letter must be verified with the FINACLE data. This aspect be given as much attention as the branch gives while passing a cheque for payment

The officer verifying the signatures must put his initials on the application form with the annotation “Signatures Verified / SV” establishing the fact the signatures have been verified by him.

IT-P-S 13 -Page 21 of 27

ASBA Phase II Phase II of ASBA was launched by our Bank in February’2010. 1. In view of the successful launch of Application Supported by Blocked

Amount (ASBA) and a good market response for the same amongst the retail investors, SEBI has decided to extend this facility, under ASBA Phase II, to other investors in public issues.

2. Under ASBA Phase II, SCSBs (Self Certified Syndicate Banks) are allowed to accept application/bids from all categories of investors other than QIBs (Qualified Institutional Buyers). SCSBs are not required to obtain any document for validating the category of investors. They have to capture the details of investor-category from the details filled in by the Investor in the ASBA Bid Form.

3. Under ASBA Phase II, SCSBs will facilitate acceptance of bids from investors providing bids with multiple options. In addition to the existing cancellation facility, the investors will have the facility to revise or modify their bids. These facilities will be available to all categories of investors/bidders. SCSB is required to capture the bid details (price and quantity) for all the bid options as per the input file formats of NSE and BSE

4. The following changes form part of ASBA Phase II: i. An application can have up to three bid options. ii. The lien has to be marked on the highest value (Price X Number of

shares) of the three bids. iii. In case of multiple bid options (i.e. more than one bid) by the

investor, each of the bids will be uploaded in the stock exchange system as three different records, with the same application number.

iv. For each of the bids, stock exchanges will generate a separate “Order Number”.

v. In case the investor wishes to revise the bid(s), the investor would provide the SCSB with the Revision Form. The SCSBs should communicate to the investors the order number for each of the original bids (in case of multiple bid options) and the investor has to specify against which order number he/she desires to revise the bid.

vi. Revision and cancellation of bids for Retail Individual Investors (investors applying up to `. 1 Lakh) are permitted till the issue closure date and time. However for NIIs (Non institutional Investors) and QIBs the revision is not permitted on the last day beyond 4 P.M.

vii. In case of an upward revision of any of the bid options, SCSBs should mark additional lien on the incremental amount. However, in case of a downward revision of bids, the SCSBs need not revise the lien amount and in such cases, the excess amount blocked will be unblocked after the allotment process is completed.

viii. SCSBs need to upload the revised bids in the system of BSE with appropriate flags or NSE with appropriate flags as the case may be.

ix. SCSBs shall accept revision in bids only if the original bid was received and uploaded by the same SCSB.

x. ASBA can be accessed by the customers on – line by registering themselves on – line through a link in Bank ‘ s official website www.pnbindia.in or www.pnbindia.com

2. Xpress Money Transfer Services PNB Xpress Remit The technology based platform has not only provided a runway to the bank in

Concept of Cross selling and Up Selling

Cross Selling: Selling additional products to existing customers is called cross selling. If we sell asset side products to a liability side customer or even a related asset side product to an existing asset side customer e.g. house repair loan to housing loan customer, it is called cross selling.

Up Selling: It is a sales technique, whereby customers are offered additional product, upgrades, or other add – ons in the same product category. It involves marketing of more of profitable services and products. Up selling can also be done by simply exposing the customer to other options he or she may not have considered previously.
