Dear Sir,

Disclosure of information regarding defaulting borrowers - Publication of list of suit-filed accounts of Rs. 1 crore and above

Please refer to paragraph 2(iii) of our circular letter DBOD No. BC/CIS/47/20.16.002/94 dated 23 April 1994 wherein it is mentioned that based on the information collected, RBI will be publishing every year in a booklet form the list of suit-filed accounts and also an update of the list half-yearly. For the purpose, a proforma was given in Annexure I to our circular DBOD No. BC. CIS (D) No. 135/20.16.002/95-96 dated 24 November 1995.

2. On a review, it has since been decided that RBI will publish only the above list as on 31 March every year and it will not prepare half-yearly update. Accordingly, you need not submit to us the statement of suit filed accounts as on 30 September. You may, however, continue to submit the above statement as on 31 March each year, in duplicate, giving complete information as required in the proforma mentioned above.

Yours faithfully,

(J.G. Gupta)

Deputy General Manager
