Transient Series (File: E) Circular NoS-of 2016-17 June 17,2016

Sub: Amendments to the loan documents pursuant to switching over to MClR linked
interest
********************************************************************************************
We draw reference to Circular No. Adv / 4/ 2016-17 dated 05.04.2016 of Banking
Operations Department on Interest to be charged based on MCLR.

We give below the guidelines for obtaining documents for MCLRlinked loans:

New loans from 01.04.2016:

We have emended the existing DPN "Revised 14 A" to "Revised 14 A linked to

MCLR" with certain corrections in the contents of the format . Besides, we have
drafted a format of an undertaking letter to be obtained from the borrowers and the
guarantors which has to be obtained alongwith the DPN.

The above two documents are enclosed as Annexure 1 and 2 respectively with this
circular.

Regarding the loan documents other than DPN, if interest clause with "Base Rate"
appear, the clause may be deleted with a cross mark (X) and the words "Interest
rate is applicable as per Demand PromissoryNote dated " should be written
and such writing should be authenticated through counter signature of the
borrower(s) alongside in the margin on the document.

loans existing prior to 01.04.2016:

As far as existing loans are concerned, option has been given to the borrowers to
switch over to MCLR linked rate of interest. If such option is exercised by the
borrower, a request letter has to be obtained from the said Borrower(s) arid the
respective Guarantors in the format enclosed as Annexure 3 herein, preferably with
balance confirmation letter. Kindly note that for each facility / loan, a separate
letter has to be obtained. The guarantors should sign with date if they countersign
the borrower's letter subsequently.
Loan documents obtained from 01.04.2016 till date with old 14A Revised with Base
Rate clause:

In such cases, it is not necessary to disturb the DPN and other loan documents
already obtained during this period. It would be sufficient to obtain Annexure 3 from
the.borrowers and guarantors and preserved with other loan documents.

Document at the time of renewal of loan existing prior to 01.04.2016:

It isstipulated that the existing loans linked to Base Rate will continue till repayment /
renewal as the case may be. Hence at the time of renewal, the account has to be
automatically governed by MCLR linked interest rate, if not already opted. In such.
circumstances of renewal, a letter as per Annexure 4 to this circular should be
obtained from the Borrowersand the respective Guarantors preferably with balance
confirmation letter.

Document at the time of enhancement of limits in the loans existing prior to

01.04.2016:

Whenever any enhancement in limits takes place, we are obtaining loan

documents for the enhanced limit. Now, as the interest has to be linked to MCLR,we
have to obtain fresh DPNand other loan documents for the total limit with a letter as
per Annexure 5 enclosed.

Branches/ Regional Offices may be advised to take note of the above, understand
the contents of the Annexures for explaining the implications to the borrowers/
guarantors.
