What is Electronic Clearing Service (ECS)?
Ans: It is a mode of electronic funds transfer from one
bank account to another bank account using the services of
a Clearing House. This is normally for bulk transfers from
one account to many accounts or vice-versa. This can be
used both for making payments like distribution of
dividend, interest, salary, pension, etc. by institutions
or for collection of amounts for purposes such as payments
to utility companies like telephone, electricity, or
charges such as house tax, water tax, etc or for loan
installments of financial institutions/banks or regular
investments of persons.
What is the meaning of the word ‘Free’ in the lending rate
prescription?
Banks are free to fix Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR)

respective Boards. BPLR has to be declared and made
uniformly applicable at all the branches. The banks may
authorize their Asset-Liability Management Committee (ALCO)
to fix interest rates on Deposits and Advances, subject to
their reporting to the Board immediately thereafter. The
banks should also declare the maximum spread over BPLR with
the approval of the ALCO/Board for all advances.

Banks have been advised to identify basic banking services

(ii) the value of transactions, namely, cheque collections
and remittances up to Rs. 10,000 for each transaction and

Accounts (cheque book facility, issue of pass book /

services at reasonable prices/ charges and towards this,
delivering the basic services outside the scope of the
bundled products.
What are the principles to be followed by banks in order to
ensure reasonableness in fixing and communicating service
charges?

Banks are required to follow the following principles for
ensuring reasonableness in fixing and communicating the
service charges -
(a) For basic services to individuals, banks should
levy charges at rates that are lower than the rates applied
when the same services are given to non-individuals.
(b) For basic services rendered to special category of
individuals (such as individuals in rural areas, pensioners
and senior citizens), banks should levy charges on more
liberal terms than the terms on which the charges are
levied to other individuals.
(c) For basic services rendered to individuals, banks
should levy charges only if the charges are just and
supported by reason.
(d) For basic services to individuals, banks should
levy services charges ad-valorem only to cover any
incremental cost and subject to a cap.
(e) Banks should provide to the individual customers
upfront and in a timely manner, complete information on the
charges applicable to all basic services.
(f) Banks should provide advance information to the
individual customers about the proposed changes in the
service charges.
(g) Banks should collect for services given to
individuals only such charges which have been notified to
the customer.

manner recovery of service charges from the account or the
transaction.
