Dear Sir,

Payment of half-yearly interest / principal of Relief / Savings Bonds to investors at a place of their choice.

As you are aware, Agency Banks normally pay half-yearly interest and redemption value on maturity of the Relief / Savings Bonds by Interest Warrants / Payment Orders payable at the centre where the investment is held. However, with a view to further improving the customer service to outstation investors of the Relief / Savings Bonds, it has now been decided that in cases where the payment of principal / interest on the Relief / Savings bonds is to be made payable at a centre other than the one at which the investment is held, your bank should either issue a Demand Draft, free of cost, or an ‘at par’ cheque payable at all branches of the bank. You may incorporate the necessary changes in the ‘Annexure - 1A’ to the effect that these modes of payments are also available to your customers.

Yours faithfully,

(B. B. Sangma)
General Manager
