Dear Sir,

Master Circular on Customer Service

As you are aware, Reserve Bank has been time and again issuing various instructions / guidelines in the area of customer service to bring about improvements in the quality of customer service in banks and their branches.

2. In order to have all current instructions on the subject at one place, we have compiled many of the important instructions issued by us in the form of a Master Circular. Further, we have also included certain instructions issued only to Public Sector Banks and also by Indian Banks’ Association at the instance of the Reserve Bank. The Master Circular is given in the Annex. It may be noted that the Master Circular consolidates and updates all the instructions contained in the circulars listed in the Appendix to the Master Circular.

Yours faithfully

(Prashant Saran)
Chief General Manager-in-Charge
