Chapter 1

Introduction

Marketing - Cross Selling Department was created in January 2003 to boost


non interest income of the branches in National Banking Group by cross
selling:

1. Life insurance products of SBI Life Insurance Co.,


select mutual fund products of SBI Mutual Fund and short listed third party Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

mutual funds,
select general insurance products of New India Assurance Co. Ltd. and
Credit Card products of SBI Card

In April 2008, cross selling was formally extended to cover units in Corporate
Accounts Group and Mid-Corporate Group, vide Corporate Centre letter no
MCS/08-09/04 dated 17th April 2008, as follows:

With the objective of further growing the cross selling business and fee based
income at our branches we are to leverage the banks connections with the
various CAG/MCG/large SME units to establish/increase cross sell of our
retail PB products as well as para-banking products like life insurance,
general insurance, mutual fund and credit card products to constituents of
these units, viz., owners / promoters, directors, employees, related vendors
and dealers. This would also make the bank/branch a one stop source of
financial services/investment products, thereby contributing to the all-
important matter of customer loyalty/stickiness.

2……………………………….

3………………………………..

4. We shall be glad if the Branch Manager of the nearest Retail Branch and a
CIF/ACE calls upon the owners/promoters/Finance Head of the Unit, along
with or through the assistance of the Relationship Manager of the CAG
branch/office, to explore the opportunities and pursue booking retail banking
and para banking business of the Units. Assistance, support of appropriate
SBI Mutual Fund, SBI Life and SBI Card personnel should invariably be
sought while making presentations for mutual fund, life and cards business. It
shall be the responsibility of the PB Business Head and Relationship Manager
(CAG) as also the Chief Manager (Cross Selling) who should closely follow up
for booking of the business. In cases where retail/para banking business is
already garnered, we would like to be advised of specific details as noted
below with particulars of business remaining to be tapped or receiving
attention, vis-à-vis the potential.

Loan Insurance of SBI Life. Further, with the launch of Bancassurance,
identified branches have commenced selling individual products of SBI Life
16
like Sudarshan and Lifelong Pension through selected employees who
have undergone insurance training and passed the mandatory test.
2. In all these cases, branches are required to remit the premium collected

Guidelines on Anti Money Laundering programme for Insurers


(Circular Ref: 043/IRDA/LIFE/AML/MAR-06 31 March 2006)

1. Background:

1.1 The Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 brought into force with
effect from 1st July 2005, is applicable to all the financial institutions which
include insurance institutions. The application of anti-money laundering
measures to non-depository financial institutions generally, and to the
insurance companies in particular, has also been emphasized by international
regulatory agencies as a key element in combating money laundering.
Establishment of anti money laundering programs by financial institutions is
one of the central recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force and
also forms part of the Insurance Core Principles of the International
Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS). Accordingly, the Authority has
decided to put in place the following regulatory guidelines/instructions to the
Insurers, Agents and Corporate agents as part of an Anti Money Laundering
Programme (AML) for the insurance sector.

1.2 Insurers offer a variety of products aimed at transferring the financial risk
of a certain event from the insured to the insurer. These products include life
insurance contracts, annuity contracts, non-life insurance contracts, and
health insurance contracts. These products are offered to the public through
trained agents of the insurance companies and also through a number of
alternate distribution channels like direct marketing, bancassurance etc. The
guidelines are therefore of importance to the agents and corporate agents also,
to the extent indicated in the guidelines.

1.3 The obligation to establish an anti-money laundering program applies to


an insurance company, and not to its agents, and other intermediaries. Hence
the responsibility for guarding against insurance products being used to
launder unlawfully derived funds or to finance terrorist acts, lies on the
insurance company, which develops and bears the risks of its products.

2. What is Money Laundering?

2.1 Money Laundering is moving illegally acquired cash through financial


systems so that it appears to be legally acquired.

2.2 There are three common stages of money laundering as detailed below
which are resorted to by the launderers and insurance institutions which may
unwittingly get exposed to a potential criminal activity while undertaking
normal business transactions: -
• Placement - the physical disposal of cash proceeds derived from illegal
activity;
30
• Layering - separating illicit proceeds from their source by
creating complex layers of financial transactions designed to disguise the
source of money, subvert the audit trail and provide anonymity; and
• Integration - creating the impression of apparent legitimacy to criminally
derived wealth.

2.3 If the layering process has succeeded, integration schemes place the
laundered proceeds back into the economy in such a way that they re-enter
the financial system appearing to be normal business funds. Financial
institutions such as insurers are therefore placed with a statutory duty to
make a disclosure to the authorized officer when knowing or suspecting that
any property, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, representing the
proceeds of drug trafficking or of a predicated offence, or was or is intended
to be used in that connection is passing through the institution. Such
disclosures are protected by law, enabling the person with information to be
able to disclose the same without any fear. Insurance institutions likewise
need not fear breaching their duty of confidentiality owed to customers.

3. AML Program:

In order to discharge the statutory responsibility to detect possible attempts of


money laundering or financing of terrorism, every insurer needs to have an
AML program which should, at a minimum, include:

3.1 Internal policies, procedures, and controls;


3.2 Appointment of a Principal compliance officer;
3.3 Recruitment and training of employees/agents;
3.4 Internal Control/Audit;

The above key elements of the AML programme are discussed in detail
below:

3.1 Internal policies, procedures, and controls:


Each insurance company has to establish and implement policies, procedures,
and internal controls which would also integrate its agents in its anti-money
laundering program as detailed below:

3.1.1 Know Your Customer (KYC):


Considering the potential threat of usage of the financial services by a money
launderer, insurance company should make reasonable efforts to determine
the true identity of all customers requesting for its services. Hence effective
procedures should be put in place to obtain requisite details for proper
identification of new customers.

i. A list of documents to be verified at the time of accepting the risk for


compliance with KYC requirement for individuals and others is given in
Annexure I. It is mandatory to obtain any one of the documents to clearly
31
establish the customer identity consistent with risk profile in respect
of all new insurance contracts (Please also see 3.1.3 below).
ii. The degree of due diligence to establish KYC could be decided by the
insurers where premium is below Rs. 1 lakh per annum. However, premium
of Rs. 1 lakh per annum in case of individual policies should be considered as
a threshold for exercising detailed due diligence, what ever be the payment
mode (Please see 3.1.3 below).

iii. Remittance of premium is an important stage of entering into contract,


hence, cash transactions need more diligence and care (Please also see para
3.1.8)

iv. Customer information should be collected from all relevant sources,


including from agents.

v. Insurance premium paid by persons other than the person insured should
be looked into to establish insurable interest.

vi. The insurer should not enter into a contract with a customer whose
identity matches with any person with known criminal background or with
banned entities and those reported to have links with terrorists or terrorist
organizations (A list of such entities would be sent to the insurance
companies shortly).

vii. Besides verification of identity of the customer at the time of initial


issuance of contract, KYC should also be carried out at the claim payout stage
and at times when additional top up remittances are inconsistent the
customers known profile.

3.1.2 When should KYC be done?

i. Knowing New Customers:

a. In case of new contracts, KYC should be done before the issue of every new
contract.
b. In case of non face to face business which includes Tele calling, Internet
Marketing, Logging in of business or payment of premiums/lump sums at
branches, collection of documentation be completed for premiums exceeding
Rs. 1 lakh per person per annum within 15 days of issue of policy.

ii. Knowing Existing Customers:

It has been decided that the process of AML should be applied for the policies
coming into force on or after 01.04.2004. Since Insurers, invariably collect
considerable background of the policyholder as also the beneficiary before
entering into contracts no major constraints are expected in this exercise, in
respect of the existing contracts. KYC in case of existing customers should
32
therefore be carried out based on the limits fixed for new policies on all
contracts/relevant transactions in case of the existing polices.

3.1.3 KYC and Risk Profile of the Customer:

In the context of the very large base of insurance customers and the significant
differences in the extent of risk posed by them, the companies are advised to
classify the customer into high risk and low risk, based on the individual’s
profile and product profile, to decide upon the extent of due diligence.

i. For the purpose of risk categorization, individuals (other than High Net
Worth) and entities whose identities and sources of wealth can be easily
identified and transactions in whose accounts by and large conform to the
known profile may be categorized as low risk. Illustrative examples of low
risk customers could be salaried employees whose salary structures are well
defined, people belonging to lower economic strata of the society,
Government departments and Government owned companies, regulators and
statutory bodies etc., In such cases, the policy may require that only the basic
requirements of verifying the identity and location of the customer are to be
met. Not withstanding above, in case of continuing policies, if the situation
warrants, as for example if the customer profile is inconsistent with his
investment through top-ups, a re-look on customer profile is to be carried out.

ii. For the high risk profiles, like for customers who are non-residents, high
net worth individuals, trusts, charities, NGO’s and organisations receiving
donations, companies having close family shareholding or beneficial
ownership, firms with sleeping partners, politically exposed persons (PEPs),
and those with dubious reputation as per available public information who
need higher due diligence, KYC and underwriting procedures should ensure
higher verification and counter checks. In this connection insurers are also
advised to carry out the appropriate level of due diligence keeping the
observations at 3.1.5 in view.

3.1.4 Products to be covered:

The AML requirements focus on the vulnerability of the products offered by


the insurers to any of the process of money laundering. Some vulnerable
products are illustrated in Annexure II. Based on the vulnerability criterion
and after examining the product and business coverage it has been decided
that the following categories of products/business lines may be exempted
form the purview of AML requirements:

i. Standalone medical/health insurance products.

ii. Reinsurance and retrocession contracts where the treaties are between
insurance companies for reallocation of risks within the insurance industry
and do not involve transactions with customers.
33
iii. Group insurance businesses which are typically issued to a company,
financial institution, or association and generally restrict the ability of an
individual insured or participant to manipulate its investment.
iv. Term life insurance contracts, in view of the absence of cash surrender
value and stricter underwriting norms for term policies (especially those with
large face amounts)

3.1.5 Sources of Funds:

It is imperative to ensure that the insurance being purchased is reasonable.


Accordingly, customer’s source of funds, his estimated net worth etc., should
be documented properly and the advisor and/or employee shall obtain
income proofs as in Annexure III, to establish his need for insurance cover.
Proposal form may also have questionnaires/declarations on sources of fund,
and details of bank accounts. Large single premiums should be backed by
documentation, to establish source of funds.

3.1.6 Defining Suspicious Transactions (including Suspicious Cash


Transactions):

The AML program envisages submission of Suspicious Transaction Reports


(STR)/ Cash Transactions Reports (CTR) to a Financial Intelligence Unit-India
(FIU-IND) set up by the Government of India to track possible money
laundering attempts and for further investigation and action. It is extremely
difficult to give an exhaustive list of suspicious transactions. An illustrative
list of such transactions is however, provided in Annexure IV. Suspicious
activity monitoring programs should be appropriate to the company and the
products it sells.

3.1.7 Reporting of Suspicious Transactions:

Insurance companies should report the suspicious transactions immediately


on identification. When such transactions are identified post facto the
contract, a statement may be submitted to FIU-IND within 3 working days of
identification in the prescribed formats.

3.1.8 Monitoring and Reporting of Cash Transactions:

With a view to ensuring that premiums are paid out of clearly identifiable
sources of funds, it has been decided that remittances of premium by cash
should not exceed Rs. 50,000/-. It would be advisable for the companies to
evolve even lower thresholds for cash transactions. It is further advised that:

i. Premium/proposal deposits beyond Rs. 50,000 should be remitted only


through cheques, demand drafts, credit card or any other banking channels.

ii. For integrally related transactions, premium amount greater than Rs. 50,000
in a calendar month should be examined more closely for possible angles of
34
money laundering. This limit will apply at an aggregate level
considering all the roles of a single person-as a proposer or life assured or
assignee.
iii. Insurance companies have to report integrally connected cash transactions
above Rs. 10 lakhs per month to FIU-IND by 15th of next succeeding month

3.1.9 Verification at the time of redemption/surrender:

i. In life insurance business, no payments should be allowed to 3rd parties


except in cases like superannuation/gratuity accumulations and payments to
legal heirs in case of death benefits. All payments, should be made after due
verification of the bona fide beneficiary, through account payee cheques.

ii. Free look cancellations needs particular attention of insurer especially in


client/agents indulging in free look surrender on more than one occasion.

iii. AML checks become more important in case the policy has been assigned
by the policyholder to a third party not related to him (except where the
assignment is to Banks/FIs/Capital Market intermediaries regulated by
IRDA/RBI/SEBI)

3.1.10 Record Keeping:

The insurer/agents/corporate agents are required to maintain the records of


types of transactions mentioned under Rule 3 of PMLA Rules 2005 and the
copies of the Cash/Suspicious Transactions reports submitted to FIU as well
as those relating to the verification of identity of clients for a period of 10
years.

i. Sharing of information on customers may be permitted between different


organisations such as banks, insurance companies, Income tax authorities,
local government authorities on request. Records can also be in electronic
form.

ii. Insurance institutions should implement specific procedures for retaining


internal records of transactions both domestic or international, to enable them
to comply swiftly with information requests from the competent authorities.
Such records must be sufficient to permit reconstruction of individual
transactions (including the amounts and types of currency involved (if any) so
as to provide, if necessary, evidence for prosecution of criminal activity. In the
case of long term insurance, full documentary evidence is usually retained
based on material completed at the initiation of the proposal of the contract,
together with evidence of processing of the contract up to the point of
maturity.

iii. Companies should retain the records of those contracts, which have been
settled by claim (maturity or death), surrender or cancellation, for a period of
at least 10 years after that settlement.
35

iv. In situation where the records relate to ongoing investigations, or


transactions which have been the subject of a disclosure, they should be
retained until it is confirmed that the case has been closed where practicable,
insurance institutions are requested to seek and retain relevant identification
documents for all such transactions and to report the offer of suspicious
funds.

v. In case of customer identification data obtained through the customer due


diligence process, account files and business correspondence should be
retained for at least 10 years after the business relationship is ended.

3.1.11 Compliance Arrangements:

i. A detailed AML Policy should be drawn up encompassing aspects of


Customer acceptance policy, Customer Identification procedure, Monitoring
of transactions, Risk management framework as evolved by the insurer. The
policy should have the approval of the board and duly filed with IRDA for
information. The policy should be reviewed annually and changes effected
based on experience.

ii. Responsibility on behalf of the agents and corporate agents:


The guidelines place the responsibility of a robust AML program on the
insurers. Nonetheless, it is necessary that the following steps are taken to
strengthen the level of control on the agents and corporate agents engaged by
the insurers:

a. A list of rules and regulations covering performance of agents and


corporate agents must be put in place. A clause should be added making KYC
norms mandatory and specific process document can be included as part of
the contracts.

b. Services of defaulting agents who expose the insurers to AML related risks
on multiple occasions should be terminated and the details reported to IRDA
for further action.

c. Insurance Company when faced with a non-compliant agent or corporate


agent should take necessary action to secure compliance, including when
appropriate, terminating its business relationship with such an
agent/corporate agent.

3.2 Appointment of Principal Compliance Officer:

3.2.1 Appointment:

The companies should designate a Principal Compliance Officer under AML


rules. The name of the principal compliance officer should be communicated
to IRDA and FIU immediately.
36

3.2.2 Responsibilities:

i. The Principal Compliance Officer should ensure that the Board approved
AML program is being implemented effectively, including monitoring
compliance by the company’s insurance agents with their obligations under
the program;

ii. He should ensure that employees and agents of the insurance company
have appropriate resources and are well trained to address questions
regarding the application of the program in light of specific facts.

3.3 Recruitment and Training of employees/agents

3.3.1 As most part of the insurance business is through agents/corporate


agents which brings in non face to face business relationships with the
policyholders, the selection process of agents/corporate agents should be
monitored carefully. The committee monitoring the agents should monitor
sales practices followed by agents and ensure that if any unfair practice is
being reported then action is taken after due investigation; Periodic risk
management reviews should be conducted to ensure company's strict
adherence to laid down process and strong ethical and control environment.
Insurance companies should have adequate screening procedures when
hiring employees.

Instruction Manuals on the procedures for selling insurance products,


customer identification, record-keeping, acceptance and processing of
insurance proposals, issue of insurance policies should be set out.

3.3.2 The concept of AML should be part of in-house training curriculum for
agents.

3.3.3 The following training requirements are considered essential based on


the class of employees.

i. New employees: A general appreciation of the background to money


laundering, and the subsequent need for identifying and reporting of any
suspicious transactions to the appropriate designated point should be
provided to all new employees who will be dealing with customers or their
transactions, irrespective of the level of seniority.

ii. Sales/Advisory staff: Members of staff who are dealing directly with the
public (whether as members of staff or agents) are the first point of contact
with potential money launderers and their efforts are therefore vital to the
strategy in the fight against money laundering. It is vital that “front-line” staff
is made aware of the insurance institution’s policy for dealing with non-
regular customers particularly where large transactions are involved, and the
need for extra vigilance in these cases.
37
iii. Processing staff: Those members of staff who receive completed
proposals and cheques for payment of the single premium contribution must
receive appropriate training in the processing and verification procedures.

iv. Administration/Operations supervisors and managers: A higher level of


instruction covering all aspects of money laundering procedures should be
provided to those with the responsibility for supervising or managing staff.

v. Ongoing training: It will also be necessary to make arrangements for


refresher training at regular intervals to ensure that staff does not forget their
responsibilities. This might be best achieved by a twelve or six-monthly
review of training. Timing and content of training packages for various
sectors of staff will need to be adapted by individual insurance institutions for
their own needs.

vi. Records of training imparted to staff in the various categories detailed


above should be maintained.

3.4 Internal Control/Audit:

Insurance companies’ internal audit/inspection departments should verify on


a regular basis, compliance with policies, procedures and controls relating to
money laundering activities. The reports should specifically comment on the
robustness of the internal policies and processes in this regard and make
constructive suggestions where necessary, to strengthen the policy and
implementation aspects. Exception reporting under AML policy should be
done to Audit Committee of the Board.

4. The above guidelines on establishment of an effective AML regime would


be effective from 1st August 2006. Insurance Companies are therefore
required to initiate various steps on the lines indicated above and file their
AML policies with IRDA latest by 1st July 2006

4. Code of Conduct for AMFI Certified Employees
The relevant extract from AMFI Guidelines and Norms for Intermediaries
dated 19th February 2002 is reproduced below, for adherence by all
concerned:
1………..
2………..
3.1 Take necessary steps to ensure that the clients’ interest is protected.
3.2 Adhere to SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations and guidelines related to selling,
distribution and advertising practices. Be fully conversant with the key
provisions of the offer document as well as the operational requirements of
various schemes.
3.3 Provide full and latest information of schemes to investors in the form of
offer documents, performance reports, fact sheets, portfolio disclosures and
brochures, and recommend schemes appropriate for the client’s situation and
needs.
3.4 Highlight risk factors of each scheme, avoid misrepresentation and
exaggeration, and urge investors to go through offer documents/key
information memorandum before deciding to make investments.
3.5 Disclose all material information related to the schemes/plans while
canvassing for business.
3.6 Abstain from indicating or assuring returns in any type of scheme, unless
the offer document is explicit in this regard.
3.7 Maintain necessary infrastructure to support the AMCs in maintaining
high service standards to investors, and ensure that critical operations such as
forwarding forms and cheques to AMCs/registrars and despatch of statement
of account and redemption cheques to investors are done within the time
frame prescribed in the offer document and SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations.
3.8 Avoid colluding with clients in faulty business practices such as bouncing
cheques, wrong claiming of dividend/redemption cheques, etc.
3.9 Avoid commission driven malpractices such as:
(a) recommending inappropriate products solely because the intermediary is
getting higher commissions therefrom.
66
(b) encouraging over transacting and churning of mutual fund investments
to earn higher commissions, even if they mean higher transaction costs and
tax for investors.
3.10 Avoid making negative statements about any AMC or scheme and
ensure that comparisons if any, are made with similar and comparable
products.
3.11 Ensure that all investor related statutory communications (such as
changes in fundamental attributes, exit/entry load, exit options, and other
material aspects) are sent to investors reliably and on time.
3.12 Maintain confidentiality of all investor deals and transactions.
3.13 When marketing various schemes, remember that a client’s interest and
suitability to their financial needs is paramount, and that extra commission or
incentive earned should never form the basis for recommending a scheme to
the client.
3.14 Intermediaries will not rebate commission back to investors and avoid
attracting clients through temptation of rebate/gifts etc.
3.15 A focus on financial planning and advisory services ensures correct
selling, and also reduces the trend towards investors asking for pass back of
commission.
3.16 All employees engaged in sales and marketing should obtain AMFI
certification. Employees in other functional areas should also be encouraged
to obtain the same certification.
Sequence of steps in the Event of Breach of Above “Code of Conduct” By
the Intermediary
If any breach of the above Code of Conduct for intermediary is reported to
AMFI by either an investor or an AMC in writing, then AMFI will initiate the
following steps:
_ Write to the intermediary (enclosing copies of the complaint and other
documentary evidence) and ask for an explanation within a time limit of 3
weeks _ In case an explanation is not received within the time limit, or the
explanation is not satisfactory, AMFI will issue a warning letter indicating
that any subsequent violation will result in cancellation of AMFI Registration
67
_ If there is a proved second violation by the intermediary, the registration
will be cancelled and an intimation sent to all AMCs.
The intermediary will have a right of appeal to AMFI
68

5. Tie-up with SBI MF (vide CC letter no. MCS/03-04/17 dated 12.05.2003)

The need for leveraging our retail network and seek alternative avenues of
income streams to augment our fee income and boost profitability has been
engaging our attention for quite some time. Further, there is a distinct trend
towards bank branches offering their customers the entire range of financial
products and services. Against this backdrop, cross selling the products of
our Subsidiaries and Associates would enable us to exploit the synergy that
exists within the SBI Group. With this in view, it has been decided to
commence selling Mutual Fund products (MFs) of SBI Mutual Fund
(SBIMF) through select branches of our Retail Network.
69

i. Tie-up with UTI MF (vide CC Circular no. PBBU/MCS/06-07/01 dated


01.04.06)

SBI Mutual Funds has successfully leveraged our Branch network to mobilize
substantial subscriptions to its products including NFOs, during the current
financial year and this accomplishment has been noted by other Mutual
Funds in the market. In the hope of similarly increasing their penetration,
UTIMF had approached us with a proposal to market its Mutual Funds
through our branch network. On examination, it was decided that this offer
presents us with an opportunity to diversify our sources for increasing the fee
based income earned by our Branches. In addition, by selling Mutual Fund
products of companies, other than SBI Mutual Funds alone, the bouquet of
products of different brands would be enlarged, thereby increasing the cross
selling income and also helping to retain our customers who would otherwise
have migrated. The offer of UTI MF was duly considered and accepted by the
Bank and an agreement to this effect was entered into with UTI MF for a
period of 3 years w.e.f., 1st April 2006 to 31st March 2009. The arrangement
has since been extended up to 31st March 2012.

2. Offering select products of other mutual funds is also expected to enhance


the marketing ability of the branch because our customer is a discerning
customer, aware of the best products of mutual funds in the market and
unless the best product is offered, the customer may decide to look for the
same elsewhere.

3. It has therefore been decided, as a pilot project, to market select MF


products of UTIMF. Designated branches, (in all 295 branches) across the
country at 48 centres (63 UTI Finance Centres) will be authorized to accept
deposits (barring cash deposits) for select MF products of UTIMF.
Depending upon our experience in this pilot launch, the list of centres and
branches may be added/deleted and will be advised to Circles on an ongoing
70
basis, in due course. Presently, the designated branches are authorized
to market the following UTI MF schemes only:
Equity Schemes
a) UTI Mastershare Unit Scheme
b) UTI Mastervalue Fund
c) UTI Dividend Yield Fund
d) UTI Basic Industries Fund

Balanced Schemes
a) UTI Children Career Plan (Balanced)
b) UTI Retirement Benefit Pension Plan
c) UTI Balanced Fund

4. SBI Mutual funds is a group company and as such we shall continue to give
preferential treatment to the sale of SBI Mutual Fund products .The
preferential treatment will remain in the following manner:

(i) SBI Mutual Fund products will be offered on


sale at all the branches throughout the
country with no restriction. The Bank /
Mutual Fund has set up a network of
Investor Service Centres / co-ordinators, etc.
at all LHOs exclusively for SBI Mutual Fund.
These shall remain dedicated to SBI Mutual
Funds.
(ii) The ACE shall first offer the SBIMF product
to the customer, in the case of competing
products.
(iii) The sale of products offered by UTI Mutual
Funds shall be restricted to branches in some
selected centres only.
71
5. Accounting/Collection System : UTI MF product application forms
will be accepted by the designated branches upto 2.00 p.m . These
applications accompanied by local cheques (no cash deposit) will be listed as
detailed in Annexure –A and handed over to the local UTI collecting agent by

7. Tie-up with Tata MF
( vide CC circular No. MCS/07-08/6 dated 2nd June 2007)

We have successfully leveraged our Branch network to mobilize substantial


subscriptions for products of SBI Mutual Funds and UTI Mutual Funds
including NFOs, during the current financial year. Consequent to this
accomplishment, it has been decided to market its mutual funds through our
branch network. On examination, it was decided that this offer presents us
with an opportunity to diversify our sources for increasing the fee based
income earned by our Branches. In addition, by selling Mutual Fund
products of companies other than SBI Mutual Funds alone, the bouquet of
products of different brands would be enlarged, thereby increasing the cross
selling income and also helping to retain our customers who may otherwise
have migrated. The offer of TATA MF was duly considered and accepted by
the Bank and an agreement for a tie-up was entered into with TATA MF for a
period of 3 years w.e.f. 16th May 2007 to 15th May 2010.

2. It has, therefore, been decided, as a pilot project, to market select MF


products only, of TATA MF. Designated branches at centres where TATA
MF has its branches (list enclosed – Annexure I) will be authorized to accept
deposits (barring cash deposits) for select MF products of TATA MF.
Depending upon our experience in this pilot launch, the list of centres and
branches may be added / deleted and will be advised to Circles on an
ongoing basis. In this regard, we also request a reference to our letter no.
MCS/07-08/10 dated 25th April 07.

3. Presently, our designated branches will market only the New Funds
Offerings (NFOs) of TATA MF wherever TATA MF has its branches – Tata

products. The preferential treatment will remain in the following manner :

throughout the country with no restriction.

08/ dated 3rd July 2007 and MCS/07-08/19 dated 21.01.2008)
As per Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Circular dated April 27,
2007 and letter dated June 25, 2007, Permanent Account Number (PAN) has
been made the sole identification number for all participants transacting in
the securities market, irrespective of the amount of transaction, effective July
2, 2007. The submission of PAN card copy (along with original for verification
which will be returned across the counter) is therefore mandatory for all
existing as well as prospective investors (including joint applicants / holders,
guardians and NRIs) for investing with mutual funds from this date. The
copy of PAN card is required to be verified with the original. The staff, who is
verifying, will sign and affix ARN code No. 12195 of the Bank on the copy of
the PAN Card. The copy of the PAN Card attested by a Bank
Manager/Notary will also be accepted as verified.

2. Investors not having a PAN need to apply for PAN immediately and
applications for investments in Mutual Funds should be accompanied with
evidence of having applied for PAN (copy of Form 49A) till such time PAN is
allotted. If the investment is for a value of Rs.50,000 or more, this should also
be accompanied by KYC certificate issued by CVL Ltd. for each such
transaction.

3. All investors including guardians and power of attorney holders need to


complete ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) formalities by completing a KYC
application form along with photograph, PAN card and Proof of Address for

under and the guidelines / circulars issued by SEBI thereto.

4. Effective from 2nd July 2007, all transactions without PAN


verification/evidence of having applied for PAN for all holders, including
guardians, are liable to be rejected. As these requirements are mandatory, all

investors in Mutual Funds may please be advised to complete these
formalities immediately.

Funds.
3. Investors have to provide the relevant documents and information ONLY
ONCE for complying with KYC norms. After that, investors may invest in the
schemes of all mutual funds by merely attaching a copy of the KYC
acknowledgement slip with the application form / transaction slip when
investing for the first time in every folio (Post KYC) in each Mutual Fund,
without the necessity of repeatedly submitting the KYC documents. This
facility is being provided absolutely FREE OF COST to the investors.
4. All our customers who are also mutual fund investors may please be
advised to complete the formalities by submitting the enclosed KYC
application form and relevant documents at the Points of Services (POS). To

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON KYC

What is KYC?

KYC is an acronym for “Know your Client”, a term commonly used for Client
Identification Process. SEBI has prescribed certain requirements relating to
KYC norms for Financial Institutions and Financial Intermediaries including
Mutual Funds to ‘know’ their Clients. This would be in the form of
verification of identity and address, providing information of financial status,
occupation and such other demographic information. Applicant must be KYC
compliant while investing with any SEBI registered Mutual Fund.

What are the KYC requirements for a Mutual Fund Investor?

Individual investors will have to produce his Proof of identity (Photo PAN
card copy or PAN card copy and copy of the passport, driving license etc.)
and Proof of Address (any valid documents listed in section B of the KYC
Application Form for Individuals). Non –Individual Investors will have to
produce certain documents pertaining to its constitution/registration to fulfill
the KYC process. A list of Mandatory Certified Documents to be submitted
can be found in section C of the KYC application form for Non-Individual
Investors. .

Where and how does one get to be KYC Compliant? Does the investor have
to repeat the KYC process with every Mutual Fund?

The Mutual Fund Industry has appointed CDSL Ventures Limited (“CDSL”),
a wholly owned subsidiary of Central Depository Services (India) Limited, to
carry out the KYC compliance procedure. CVL through its Points of Service
(POS) will accept KYC Application Forms, verify documents and provide the
KYC Acknowledgement (across the counter on a best effort basis). The list of
PoS will be displayed on the websites of Mutual Funds, CDSL and AMFI.
Once the KYC is duly completed in all repects, the investor needs to produce
a copy of the acknowledgement to the fund where the investor desires to
invest. There is no need to repeat the KYC individually for each mutual fund,

What is a KYC Application Form?

A KYC Application Form has been designed for Individual and Non-
Individual Investors separately. The soft copy of these KYC forms will be
made available on the website of all mutual funds, AMFI and Central
Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL). You may also approach your
distributor for a form. It is important to read the instructions printed on the
KYC Application Form while filling-up the form.
105
Should the investor visit PoS personally to obtain KYC
Compliance?

No. If the investor is not in a position to visit PoS personally, the KYC
Application Form along with the necessary documents (including originals if
the copies are not attested) can be sent through the distributor or
representative, who can arrange to fulfill the KYC obligation and obtain the
KYC Acknowledgement through any of the PoS.

From what date is it mandatory for an investor to be KYC Compliant?

With effect from 01 February 2008, any investor investing Rs. 50,000 and
above would be required to be KYC compliant.

To whom is a KYC applicable? Is there any exemption?

Currently, all investors (Individuals or Non Individuals) who wish to make


an investment of Rs. 50,000 or above will be required to be KYC Compliant.
This would also apply to new Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) transactions
on or after 01 February 2008, if each installment of value greater than or equal
to Rs.50,000. Please find the list of personnel who are required to be KYC
compliant:

Joint Holders: Joint holders (including first, second and third if any, are required) to
be individually KYC compliant before they can invest with any Mutual Fund. . e.g. in
case of three joint holders, all holders need to be KYC compliant and copies of each
holder’s KYC Acknowledgement must be attached to the investment application form
with any Mutual Fund.

Minors: In case of investments in respect of a Minor, the Guardian should be KYC


compliant and attach their KYC Acknowledgement while investing in the name of the
minor. The Minor, upon attaining majority, should immediately apply for KYC
compliance in his/her own capacity and intimate the concerned Mutual Fund(s), in
order to be able to transact further in his/her own capacity.

Power of Attorney (PoA) Holder: Investors desirous of investing through a PoA


must note that the KYC compliance requirements are mandatory for both the PoA
issuer (i.e. Investor) and the Attorney (i.e. the holder of PoA), both of whom should be
KYC compliant in their independent capacity and attach their respective KYC
Acknowledgements while investing.

Financiers will have to be KYC compliant at the time of Lien Marking.

For transmission (In case of death of the unit holder): If the deceased is the sole

applicant, the claimant should submit his/her KYC Acknowledgement along with the
other relevant documents to effect the transmission in his/her favour
106
How does the investor transact in Mutual Fund after completing the
KYC process?

Investors must attach their KYC Acknowledgement along with the


Investment Application Form(s) / Transaction Slip(s) while investing for the
first time in every folio. Applications Forms / Transaction Slips not
accompanied by KYC Acknowledgement are liable to be rejected by the
Mutual Funds. If you do not obtain a KYC Acknowledgement, you will not be
able to invest Rs. 50,000 or more in a Mutual Fund.

In case of existing investors when and how will the KYC norms be
introduced?

KYC norms are applicable to all investors. It is in the interest of all Investors
to obtain KYC Acknowledgement and submit it to the Mutual Fund to avoid
any inconvenience in future.

Once an account is opened with a Mutual Fund by 1 st, 2 nd & 3 rd holder by


completing the necessary formalities and the investor’s return to make a fresh
investment, do they need to furnish the necessary documents again?

Investors must attach their KYC Acknowledgement along with the


Investment Application Form(s) / Transaction Slip(s) while investing for the
first time in every folio.

What are the consequences of KYC cancellation/rejection?

In the event of any KYC Application Form being found deficient for lack of
information / insufficiency of mandatory documentation, further investments
will not be permitted.

Does the KYC Acknowledgement have an expiry date?

No. Once the KYC Acknowledgement is obtained and informed to a Mutual


Fund, it will be registered against the folio and quoted in all future account
statements. The same will exist in perpetuity, unless cancelled by CVL.

What happens if I have multiple folios/ accounts with a Mutual Fund?

You can inform the Mutual Fund to update the KYC Acknowledgement
against all the folios/accounts you have with it. However, each of the holders
in these folios/accounts should be KYC Compliant.

Is there a charge I need to pay to get myself KYC Compliant?

Currently, KYC is being done free of cost.


107

I am an NRI residing outside India. How do I get myself KYC Compliant?

The soft copy of these KYC forms will be made available on the website of all
Mutual Funds, AMFI and Central Depository Services (India) Limited
(CDSL). You may also approach your distributor for a form. The same duly
completed along with the necessary attested documents can be submitted at
the PoS or mailed to your representative or Distributor who can complete the
KYC formalities for you.

Are there any special requirements for an NRI?

Yes. In addition to the certified true copy of the passport, certified true copy
of the overseas address and permanent address will also be required. If any
of the documents (including attestations/ certifications) towards proof of
identity or address is in a foreign language, they have to be translated to
English for submission. The documents can be attested, by the Consulate
office or overseas branches of scheduled commercial banks registered in India

Is there any special requirement for a PIO (Person of Indian Origin)?

The requirements applicable to an NRI will also apply to a PIO. However,


additionally, he will need to submit a certified true copy of the PIO Card.

What about Minor becoming Major?

Upon a Minor attaining the age of majority (i.e. on completing 18 years of


age), he/she must be KYC Compliant and have KYC Acknowledgement of
their own. The same should be informed to the Mutual Fund where he/she
holds an investment, along with other details such as the Bank Details,
Signature, etc as per the present requirements of such Mutual Fund.

Whom do I inform about change of Name/Address/Status/Signature etc?

You should intimate your change of Name / Address / Status /Signature etc.
to any convenient PoS. You need to quote / submit a copy of your KYC
Acknowledgement, and proof (in case of new address). You should provide
for at least 7 days for the change of address to take effect with all the Mutual
Funds with whom you are invested. Please note that you should not write to
the Mutual Fund or its Registrar for the change of address (unless as a
designated PoS). The specified form can be obtained from the AMFI/Mutual
Fund website. All details of the holders in the Mutual Fund records will be
replaced by the address details available in the CVL record.
108
If I am already providing my PAN/PAN Proof for my investment
in Mutual Fund. Is that not sufficient for meeting the requirement of KYC?

The requirement of providing your PAN along with proof is sufficient for
proof of identity. However, the current requirement for KYC requires the
Mutual Fund to verify identity, address as well as obtain further information
about the investor.

Why do I need to give my Income details? How can I be sure that it will not
be misused?

As per PMLA, it is mandatory for Mutual Funds to obtain financial status


details from its investors. It is for this reason that the Income details are
sought. Please note that no proof / income documents are required. The
information given you in the KYC Application form will be treated in a
confidential manner and used for regulatory purposes if called for.

Do I need to inform about my change of Income status?

Yes. I you find an increased/decrease in your income, which would


effectively, changed the income bracket that you have declared in the KYC
Application form, you should apply to any convenient PoS in the specified
form. No proof is needed.

Can an investor give a COA (Change of Address) along with redemption


request?

The redemption transaction accompanied by a KYC Acknowledgement form


is likely to be processed without effecting the change of address request.

Is the KYC Acknowledgement a separate form or is it a part of the Mutual


Fund application. Which of the forms require being time-stamped?

KYC Acknowledgement will be done on the photocopy of the form. Time


stamping is not required on the KYC Acknowledgement.

What do I do once I have received my KYC Acknowledgement?

Once the investor is KYC compliant, it will be required to intimate his KYC
details to all the Mutual Funds with whom it has investments. The same will
be updated in the records of the Mutual Fund.

For signature difference in investor request, Mutual Funds generally ask


for a banker attestation. Since a signature is not available with identity
proof, will you still insist on banker attestation for signature difference?

Signature verification is done by Mutual Funds to protect an investor from


losses. As such, Mutual Funds may follow extra due-diligence if signatures
109
are not matching, such as getting Bank attestation for such
transactions. This could be independent of the KYC procedure.

What if I have already completed the earlier KYC (MIN) procedure with
CVL?

Scenario 1

If the KYC (MIN) was completed by submitting the PAN, the


Acknowledgement obtained at that time can be enclosed along with the
Investment Application Form(s) / Transaction Slip(s) while investing for the
first time in every folio as the PAN number will be stated on the said
acknowledgement. You need not repeat the process now.

Scenario 2

If the KYC (MIN) was completed without submitting the PAN but with other
proof of identity documents, for such cases, CVL will send out a
communication to the respective investors requesting them to submit self
attested copy of PAN card for KYC compliance.

General Insurance

Bancassurance- General Insurance


Tie up with New India

(CC Letter no. MCS/03-04/91 dated 24.10.2003 and MCS/03-04/247 dated


12.03.04)

The Bank has entered into a tie-up with New India Assurance Co. for
distribution of the general insurance products through our Branch network.
An MOU to this effect has been signed on 20th October 2003..

2. As in the case of life insurance products, the general insurance products can
be sold only through a trained and qualified employees of the Bank.
……………. The 50 hrs training is for Officers / Assistants who are CAIIB
and the100 hrs training for Officers/Assistants who are non-CAIIB. Faculty
support conducted at STC Hyderabad/Bangalore/Perambur which has been
accredited by IRDA for conduct of general insurance training. Immediately
after the training, the selected Officers/Assistants will be required to appear
for a Test conducted by IRDA. Arrangements for administering the Test to
the trained staff will be made by New India Assurance Co.

3.Once the selected Officials/Assistants from the identified branches complete


the training and are successful in the prescribed general insurance test, they
will be designated as ‘Specified Persons’(SP) authorised to sell insurance
products of New India Assurance Co viz. Fire, Marine(Cargo) and Motor
covers to begin with.

4. New India has allotted the Bank the corporate agency code no. 900042 and
when our SP sells select products under the allotted agency code, commission
from New India will accrue to the particular branch from where the insurance
business has been booked at the following rates:

a) For Corporate Clients:


If Paid up Tariff Non Tariff
Capital Business Business
< Rs. 10 Crs 5% 15%
Rs. 10 Crs to 2.5% 15%
Rs 25 Crs
> Rs 25 Crs NIL 15%
166
b) For Individual Clients: 15%

5. To facilitate our trained and qualified officials/assistants viz ‘Specified


Persons’ to commence marketing general insurance products we furnish
below a few guidelines:--

i) While the choice of the general insurer from whom the customer may wish
to purchase insurance cover rests with the borrower, our branches concerned
should liaise with officials of New India in their respective areas of operations
and endeavour to book the business by encouraging the customers to
purchase the cover from us.

ii) In cases where insurance cover has already been obtained by the
customers, their renewal dates will need to be diarised so that at the time of
renewal they can be availed from us. For this the SP will need to contact the
concerned customer well before the due date for marketing the products of
New India.

iii)Neighbouring branches which do not have a SP may also utilize the


services of the SP from the identified branch. Suitable instructions should be
issued to all the branches to direct all such business leads to the SP from the
identified branch.

iv) The SP should interact with the visiting borrowers at the branch premises
to explore the scope of selling the products to the customers.
Branch/Divisional Managers are required to guide the SP suitably in this
regard.

v)SPs should be actively involved in Customer Relations Programmes and


other such events held or arranged by the Bank to spread awareness amongst
our customers of the Bank’s foray in general insurance through the corporate
agency route.

vi) Commission at the rates agreed to with New India, vide para 3 above will
accrue to the Branch.SPs will check the commission amount as calculated by
New India branch from where the business has been booked. For this
purpose, a suitable backup register needs to be maintained which will be
scrutinised by the Branch Manager/Divisional Manager

vii) SPs will need to actively liaise with local New India officials who will also
offer the necessary support to our branches.

MOU to act as Corporate Agent of New India Assurance Co.


Renewal thereof
(CC Circular No. PBBU/MCS/06-07/12 dated 01.11.2006)
The Bank entered into an MOU with New India Assurance Co. on October
20, 2003 for a period of 3 years to act as its Corporate Agent for distribution of
select general insurance products through our Branches. The MOU has now
been renewed w.e.f., 20th Oct 2006 for a period of 3 years i.e. till 19th Oct
2009, on the same terms, and conditions, as the earlier MOU.
2. The tieup offers our Branches/Offices another income stream to augment
our “Other Income” in as much as all assets insured with New India
Assurance Co. under the Bank’s Corporate Agency Code No. 900042 will
generate a commission ranging from 5 % to 15 % of premium paid. In this
context, we enclose, at Annexure-A, IRDA Circular no.
IRD/CIR/BRO/074/Feb 05 dated 22.02.2005 containing the rates of
commission payable to our offices/branches.
3. All branches/offices are advised to maintain close liaison with the local
offices of New India Assurance Co. and endeavour to cover ALL our Assets
with New India Assurance Co.
4. Currently the strength of Specified Persons is very low and not
commensurate with our assets portfolio. Efforts should now be made to
increase the number of Specified Persons by multitasking the present
qualified and trained Certified Insurance facilitators and AMFI Certified
Employees. Adoption of cluster approach by Specified Persons to book
general insurance business of neighbouring branches not having Specified
Person(s) will also enhance the coverage of general insurance under the tie up
arrangement.

4. Scheme for Reimbursement of Examination fees and Payment of
Honorarium : General Insurance

(Vide e-Circular P&HRD. Sl. No. : 266/2007 - 08


Circular No. : CDO/P&HRD-LANDD/22/2007 – 08 dated 11 August 2007)

1. In terms of extant instructions, vide our Cir./ HRD/ CDO/ 94/ 878 dated
24.11.2003, approval had been granted for payment of an incentive of
Rs.2500/- (Rupees two thousand five hundred only) to such employees who
successfully complete the training in the subject of non-life insurance and
qualify a mandatory test to be conducted by the institutions accredited by
IRDA for the purpose.
2. In this connection, during the last few years the general insurance market
has been growing at a substantial pace. A number of players have entered the
market and the existing as well as the new players have adopted aggressive
strategies to capture a larger share of the market. The Bank, too, is in the
process of entering the general insurance market and this is likely in the next
six months. The Bank needs to be well prepared by way of adequate number
of trained employees who are ready to seek significant business for the Bank
by the time the new general insurance business is launched. To capture a
sizable market-share of the growing business, the Bank needs
to significantly focus on marketing efforts and involve more and more
employees at the Branch level. This calls for further motivating our employees
for going in for certification in a big way. The existing Scheme for Payment of
Honorarium is now more than four years old and, in the meantime, there has
been an all round increase in prices.
3. In view of the above, it has been decided to increase the honorarium
payable on obtaining certification for non-life insurance from Rs.2500/- to
Rs.5000/- (Rupees five thousand only). It has also been decided that in view
of the large-scale appointment of CRE (PB)s, the Scheme may be extended to
cover such employees also.
4. All other terms and conditions as mentioned in our aforementioned
Circular would remain unchanged.

5. Sharing of Customer Information (vide CC letter nos.


BBU/MCS/Card/21/77 dated 21.07.2005 and PBBU/MCS/06-07/232 dated
12.03.2007)

a) A number of branches are being approached of late by sales agents


purporting to be Sales Executives of our subsidiaries. They have reportedly
requested our branches to furnish details of Names, Addresses, telephone
numbers, three months statements of accounts etc. and various other details
of information regarding our customers. Branches are persuaded that the
information is sought only for selling/cross selling Banks products and has
the concurrence of the Controlling Office.

b) It is reiterated that as per the extant instructions of Reserve Bank of India,


it will not be proper to share customer data without the specific written
consent of the customer. This applies even to our own subsidiaries.
Branches should provide information in respect of the account including copy
of the statements only on receipt of specific authority signed by the customer
to furnish the information. Such written authority should be retained in the
Branch and filed with the Account Opening form.

c) This will not prevent the Branch staff from offering the products of our
subsidiaries to our customers over the counter or through mailers, campaigns,
melas and any other sales effort organized by the Bank. This also does not
apply to CIFs, ACEs, SPs, RMPBs, OBSF etc, who have booked business for
the Bank, obtained the customer’s signature and assent in the application
form and then forwarded the customer’s data to a Subsidiary.

d) Passing on addresses of customers to agents who are not fully aware of the
sensitivity of the relationship with the branch and do not understand the
customer needs fully, does not benefit the Branch. Our endeavour should be
to Cross sell the products to our customers ourselves, thereby enhancing the
value of our existing relationship and earns the Branch income by way of
commission, brokerage etc.
