 Annex–7
Details of Observations for Operational Non-IT Risk

KYC/AML:
a) The bank had not yet fully adhered to the requirement of unique identification code
for each customer. There was no system for de-duping/UCIC before opening of an
account either at branch or at Central Processing Unit (CPU) level.
b) The bank was opening corporate salary accounts after obtaining only one ID proof
i.e. copy of PAN card and no proof of address was obtained if the mailing address
was that of the employer. The bank merely relied upon the introduction given by the
employer having current account with the bank. Several frauds to the extent of
15.6 mn had been detected after disbursal of personal loans and credit cards to
corporate employees by way of fake documentation regarding salary certificates.
c) Some of the rules prescribed for risk categorization of customers were not capable
of assessing the true risk of the customer. Gross turnover of a company at less than
or equal to 15 lacs was categorised as low risk, irrespective of type of business.
Cash transactions in the account were only considered for reviewing the risk
category, even though other types of transactions may not be commensurate with
the declared turnover of the firm. Risk was reviewed only on the basis of declared
income/turnover only, at the time of risk review, No separate scenarios for
monitoring domestic wire transactions exclusively. Out of a sample check of 110384
accounts under UBS (corporate), 45 accounts were without risk allocation and
80766 accounts were under low risk including co-operative banks, stock brokers
and trusts etc.
d) For the purpose of CTR, the bank was not reporting amount aggregating more than
10 lacs in all the accounts of the same persons. CTRs were being generated only
when the amount exceeded 10 lacs in one single account.
e) The bank had allowed opening of account of proprietorship concerns even with one
of the minimum two documents required as per the guidelines delegating such
authority to its Grade D2 officers and above.
f) The account opening process required to be strengthened as internal guidelines of
the bank were not being followed meticulously. In some of the accounts opened
with Power of Attorney (POA), approval of Branch Banking Head (BBH)/Regional
Head (RH) was not obtained. Though the internal guidelines of the bank stipulated
Contact Point Verification (CPV) before opening of account, the same was not
found to have been conducted in large number of cases, even in cases where the

12
 requirement was not waived in terms of the delegation of authority laid down by the
bank.
g) Approval delegation was conferred upon branch head for opening of accounts with
exceptions including name mismatch on documents, incomplete CPV details etc.
h) The bank had no mechanism to monitor multiple cash transactions by walk-in-
customers at one branch or at multiple branches.
i) In case of co-operative banks, the bank had no internal guidelines regarding cash
payment to third party against “self” or bearer cheques to monitor cash withdrawals,
as any amount from any branch of the bank can be withdrawn. The bank had not
framed any guidelines regarding third party payment at home/ non home branches.
j) For current accounts of foreign/ private banks, customer profiling was a one-time
activity.
k) The bank had no system of generating any AML alert for the accounts which were
opened and closed on the same day or within a period of 0-7 days/ very short
period. 554 accounts out of a sample of 6307 were found closed within a period of 7
days.
l) The bank had filed 7451 STRs from April 01, 2013 to October 31, 2014, out of
which 285 were on account of false/ forged documents, address found to be wrong/
non-existent, match with other TF list, criminal background and identity documents
not identifiable. The bank had not initiated any steps for terminating the banking
relationship after issuing due notice to the customer explaining the reasons and a
decision at higher level was not taken.
m) As per the data provided for the sample study of 21 randomly selected branches,
there were 53880 accounts where re-KYC was due but was not carried out.
n) There was no system in place for monitoring of FEMA violations in all prepaid cards
as the loading / reloading was on the basis of customers’ self declaration.
o) Vostro accounts: There was no system level control to prevent any fund transfer
between Vostro accounts and real time conversion into INR for inward forex
remittances. Operational manual detailing processes and procedures was not
documented. The bank had 448 branches which exceeded the RBI stipulation of a
cap of 300 drawee branches. Vostro account of World Exchange House was
opened without prescribed documentation including agreement. There was no
systemic mechanism to check the purpose code especially in mode of payment like
DD, RTGs, NEFT and crediting trusts accounts by the beneficiary.
p) The bank had no policy for establishing correspondent banking relationship with

13
 foreign banks/ foreign financial institutions and not prescribed operative procedures
for the staff to guide them in complying with the requirements in Master circular on
KYC/ AML. The bank had not obtained certain declaration/ documents such as
declaration in AOF that the bank/ institution had physical presence in the country of
its operation, does not have any relationship with any Shell bank, identification of
key senior management functionaries and major shareholders, prime line of
business operations, FATF compliance, AML/CTF controls, identification of the
regulatory agency which exercises oversight on the applicant bank etc.
q) The bank was having a common account opening form for regular SB accounts as
well as Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account (BSBDA). The schedule of charges
pertaining to BSBDA were also similar on line with normal SB accounts, and were
misleading inasmuch as there was no communication to the customers that offering
of value-added services at extra cost would render such an account non-BSBDA.
r) There was no audit trail in the system to show that the decision to file an STR with
FIU-IND was actually taken by PMLRO.
s) Apart from the alerts being generated by the AML application, the bank had been
generating exception reports for 48 scenarios by running query directly in various IT
systems. A group of 6 to 8 AML team members ran through the exception reports
&selected certain cases "manually". Hence, a lot of subjectivity existed in such
cases for identifying transactions before sending the same to branches for their
responses or disposing the same by the AML team. In some cases STRs were
directly filed without any analysis at all.
t) The quality of closure of alerts generated through exception report was a matter of
concern because there was no audit trail as to who examined the alerts for which
STRs were filed. Further, threshold limits for generating exception report were
disclosed to everybody.
Frauds and Vigilance:
a) The bank did not analyze the occurrence of frauds in terms of “system failure” or
“human failure”, borrowal/non-borrowal accounts, state wise concentration etc.
b) The bank had not fixed up a benchmark tolerance level for operational risks arising
from trend of frauds. Operational risk arising due to technological failure, fraud,
error, inadequate financial capacity to fulfill obligations was not reviewed.
c) The Fraud Monitoring Committee had not met immediately after detection of frauds
of more than one crore on January 11, 2014 and March 10, 2014. It had met in
March for its scheduled regular meeting.

14
 d) During 2013-14, HLIC related 16 complaints received by the bank on account of
Forgery (signature done by someone else/ records changed without intimation etc)
were not investigated by the Vigilance department and were closed at branch end.
The bank had not taken action against the erring employees and declared the
cases as frauds, where mis-selling was proved as per the internal investigation and
the entire amount of policies was ordered to be refunded to the customer.
e) The bank had not formed a dedicated and well organized unit for fraud monitoring
investigation/continuous surveillance over potentially fraud prone areas and follow
up function to be discharged in a centralized manner instead of leaving it to
subordinate offices where such specialization is not available.
Complaints:
a) During the year more than 50% (1456 out of 2809 complaints) of the complaints
received at branches were not addressed within the stipulated turnaround time.
Further, in 23% of cases the bank had not issued acknowledgement to the
complainant.
b) The single largest category of complaints at the branches pertained to mis-selling of
insurance products including debit of premium from the account where the consent
of customers was not obtained, product features etc. not explained.
c) The complaints pertaining to sale of insurance products were being closed at the
branch level without escalating them to head office level. These were also not being
forwarded to fraud/vigilance for investigation.
d) Complaints even pertained to cases where insurance product was sold to
customers even though a fixed deposit had been requested.
e) The bank needed to step up its efforts to identify and address the cases which led
to complaints that were recurring in nature e.g. staff related complaints mis-selling
etc.
f) Contrary to regulatory guidelines, complaints regarding corruption and malpractices,
misconduct on the part of employees etc were not recorded as complaints, though
they were being dealt with directly by the vigilance department for investigation. The
disclosure of the bank regarding complaints was incorrect to that extant.

Customer Service:
a) The bank needed to strengthen the system of sending positive confirmation to
remittance originator for NEFT transactions to walk-in-customers.
b) The bank had not allotted a separate product code for accounts opened under

15
 various Central /State Govt. schemes for crediting cheques/ direct benefit transfer/
electronic benefit transfer.
c) The bank had no mechanism for auto credit of penal interest in case of delayed
NEFT.
Outsourcing:

security offered to the bank in any form) at one or the other specific point of time.
b) CIT agency in Jammu continued to provide services during July, August, and
September 2013 without any agreement with the bank as the same had expired.
c) The bank’s dependence on outsourced employees and consequent concentration
risk was observed to be towards the higher side as about 50% of the employees

not done by the senior management.

authentication of transactions initiated by a bank’s customer using bank’s card for
which the service provider had set up its data centre at Singapore. The bank had
not ensured through agreement that the jurisdiction of the courts in off-shore
location where data is maintained did not extend to the operations of the bank in
India on the strength of the fact that the data was being processed there even
though the transactions were undertaken in India.

Third Party Products – HDFC Standard Life Insurance:

a) In a number of cases, there had been instances of mis-selling of third party

some of the HDFC life insurance policies from 25,000.00 to 2,50,000.00, as
compared to that offered by HDFC SLI.
f) Some e-mail documents provided by the bank indicated that HDFC SLIC had
offered incentives for enhanced target achievement, in the form of training at
Portblair for employees of the bank, through mails to the respective clusters. These
mails were then forwarded by the clusters to every employee within the cluster.
Such incentive was prohibited in terms of IRDA guidelines. Additionally, the HDFC
SLI mail suggested that the sales could be made by non specified persons too as
the qualification certificates were to be submitted at a later date i.e. March 31, 2015.
MIS:
The bank’s MIS was incapable of generating details of all accounts such as deposits,
borrowings, credit cards etc. of the same customer as there were several systems in
which the data was stored. Similarly, disaggregation of details regarding alerts
generated by AML software, audit alerts, exception reports etc. for the purpose of filing
of STRs was also not possible.

nature. It was observed that

operations etc. were not covered under concurrent audit, the bank may review the
areas required to be covered under concurrent audit.

transactions on the 1 crore portal’, the same was not being covered by the
concurrent auditors as they have not been provided access rights.
