MUMBAI: Tightening the noose around people who misused banking channels to park unaccounted money, the Reserve Bank today imposed certain restrictions on withdrawal if more than Rs 2 lakh has been deposited after November 9 in an account which has a balance of over Rs 5 lakh.
As per a RBI notification, withdrawal or transfer of funds will not be permitted in accounts without quoting of PAN or submission of Form 60 (persons who do not have PAN).
The Reserve Bank also said monthly withdrawal limit of Rs 10,000 will be maintained even if a ‘small account’ has witnessed increase in annual permissible deposit of Rs 1 lakh.
The notification follows after it was brought to the notice of the RBI that “strict compliance” with KYC (Know Your Customer) provisions is not being ensured in some cases.
In respect of KYC compliant accounts where the required Customer Due Diligence (CDD) procedure has been complied with, RBI said banks and NBFCs should ensure compliance regarding quoting of PAN/obtaining of Form 60 for all transactions. (AGENCIES)
