Dear Sir/ Madam,

Please refer to Para 3 of our circular RPCD.CO.Plan.BC.No.49/04.09.01/2010-11 dated January 28, 2011 on the captioned subject, wherein it was advised that the misclassifications reported by Principal Inspecting Officers, during the current year would be added to the shortfall reported by banks, as on the last reporting Friday of the following year, for allocations to various funds.

2. It has since been decided that the misclassifications reported by our Department of Banking Supervision would be adjusted/ reduced from the achievement of that year only to which the amount of declassification/ misclassification pertains,instead of next year, for allocation to various funds.

Yours faithfully,

(A. K. Misra)
