CALCUTTA-700 001
February 13, 2001
Dear Customer,
Our Commitment to Customers had led us to publish a code of fair banking practices
which was also named "Our Commitment to Customers". This booklet was brought out
in January 1998 along with general terms and conditions of our services. That was the
Golden Jubilee Year of our Independence.
The new millenium coincides with the process of opening of the economy and holds out
for all of us a future, which is emerging. In keeping with it UCO Bank is also
reorganising its services around the emerging needs of the customers. Consequently there
is a need and UCO Bank has rewritten its "Code of Fair Banking Practices" which
is being published under the name and style "Citizens Charter".
We have committed for zero corruption services and full transparency in the terms and
conditions of our services. We have also committed for time bound amelioration of your
grievances. We have Nodal Officers at all the regional offices reporting to Chief Nodal
Officer, an ex-officio assignment for General Manager, Planning & Development, who
would ensure that your complaints are dealt with properly and in time.
We have also added certain Dos on your part which will enable us to protect
your interest and facilitate us in extending our services. In the coming days we are
likely to see in the banking industry a lot of new products and different types of
services which will necessitate further improvement in the "Charter". We would
always eagerly look forward to your suggestions to make our services more effective and
useful for you and we trust that we will receive valued suggestions and guidance as we
proceed further in orientating our services towards your requirements.
I take this opportunity to convey my best wishes to you.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Chairman & Managing Director

CHAPTER I
Introduction :
This Citizens Charter replaces the earlier one released in 1998. This Charter has
been prepared to promote fair banking practice and give information in respect of various
activities related to customer service being offered by our offices and branches. This
Citizens Charter is based on the model Charter prepared by a Select Committee
appointed by Indian Banks Association. This Charter is not a legal document which
creates statutory rights and obligations.
As stated above, the basis of the Charter is our striving to provide excellent customer
service to all our customers at all service points. In order to do so, we rely on the
following principles:
Quality :
This indeed is the sine-qua-non for any service oriented institution. An inbuilt
mechanism to continually upgrade the standard of service has been put in place by the
Bank.
Choice :
We understand that the customer is bound to choose among the various alternative
products and services being offered by various banks operating in the industry. This makes
it all the more necessary for us to introduce from time to time innovative ideas and
technology which will translate into better services being offered by us.
Standards
:
All our customers are entitled to know the basic standards for the common services
which we provide. In this regard, we have set down time norms for each of our services.
This time norms are displayed in the banking hall in all our branches.
Accountability
:
We have over the years built up a fairly reliable system fixing accountability for
errors/lapses in provision of services. Most of the complaints are redressed on the spot.
In case, the Manager at the grassroot level is unable to redress a particular complaint,
the same is referred to a higher authority for disposal within 45 days. Details of the
redressal system are also available at each and every branch office.
Transparency
:
There is absolutely no secrecy regarding the services offered by our branches and the
procedures that are followed by the Bank. Basic information relating to rules and
regulations governing the services are made known to all customers at all points of
delivery. This transparency, we believe, helps in strengthening our bonds with each and
every customer.
Zero
corruption :
The bank is totally committed to provide all its services at charges which are
specified and laid down. We honour the above principle and request our customers not to
pay any bribe but report the same immediately to the competent authority in case they are
being coerced by any of our staff members for any favour, in kind or otherwise. Anonymous
complaints will not be entertained.
In the following chapters we have made an effort to comprehensively codify the kind of
services which the Bank offers to its customers in regard to their day to day banking
needs.

soiled note. To facilitate easy exchange, notes which have been divided vertically through
or near the centre with numbers intact are also treated as soiled notes. Notes on which
political or religious slogans are written are not exchangeable under any circumstances.
- Exchange mutilated notes. A mutilated note is a note of which a portion is missing or a
note which is composed of pieces, provided that the note presented is not less than half
of the area of the note and that, if the note is composed of a note joined together, each
piece is, in the opinion of the 'Prescribed Officer' [as defined in the RBI (Note Refund)
Rules] identifiable as part of the same note.

- Exchange of mutilated/ cut notes received through the Triple Lock Receptacle or

In order to provide note exchange facility to members of the public who cannot wait at the

facility of depositing mutilated/cut notes in a locked box called "Triple Lock
Receptacle (TLR)". The TLR box is kept near a specified counter and notes can be
dropped into the box in a closed cover which can be obtained from the enquiry counter. The
tenderers are required to write the particulars of the notes tendered by them, their name,
address and bank account number on the cover. Members of the public can also send
mutilated notes by insured and registered post to RBI Offices. In their own interest, such
covers should be sent through Registered and Insured post. The exchange value of notes
which are found payable under the Note Refund Rules is credited to the bank account of the
tenderer through Electronic Clearing Service/EFT which is at present free of cost. In case
the tenderer does not have bank account or the place where he resides does not have a
clearing service/ provision of EFT, the exchange value is remitted by means of bank
draft/money order at the cost of the tenderer. The TLR facility is available only for
mutilated/cut notes and not for soiled notes.
