3. On review and as a part of rationalisation of process and procedures, it has been decided to amend para 3.5 of Master Circular UBD.CO.BPD.

However, the bank should continue to place the individual cases of attempted fraud involving Rs.25 lakhs or more above before the Audit Committee of its Board as hitherto as per the instructions contained in the above mentioned Master Circular.
