62. The mouth of the bag is sewn with a thread of two colors: the side with the label is white, and the back side is red.

In this case, the red thread performs not only the function of an ordinary seam but also serves as a control seam and seal.

The sewn seam must ensure firm holding and must not allow it to unravel from itself in a volume where the edges are not less than 3 cm and have free ends.

When the employee opens the bag, they must ensure the integrity of the bag and seams, untie the first knot of the red control thread on the right side of the label, and pull both threads.

The seam must unravel easily, and the unraveled threads must remain intact.

When accepting coin bags, attention must be paid to the presence of the label, and the integrity of the bag, seam, thread, etc. A broken thread is equivalent to a broken seal. Cash-in-transit employees are prohibited from accepting bags in suspicious bundles from the Mint or banks.

64. If discrepancies are found in coin bags, the requirements of Paragraph 316 of these Guidelines must be followed. The bag containing the coins, the label, and necessarily both intact (white and red) threads with which the bag was sewn must be attached to the act.

65. If part of the coins in the bag is taken out or additional coins are added, the remaining coins must be counted piece by piece, and the packaged coins in the bag must be recounted based on their inscriptions. In this case, the bag is resealed, the cashier signs it, and a new label is attached to the bag.

66. Coin bags remaining with cashiers, if complete bags cannot be formed from them, are given to one or more cashiers for combining and wrapping/tying. Bags that cannot form complete bags may be placed into incomplete bags of the same denomination (nickel coins separately, bronze coins separately). However, their wrapping and tying must not exceed the Mint standard. The labels of these bags indicate the amount of coins of each denomination.

Labels attached to complete and incomplete bags formed from bags containing coins of various denominations must have the word "Mixed" written on them.

In addition, coins remaining in the circulating cash and recounted and packaged by the cash manager may be stored in the cash reserve in bags and coin bags in amounts not exceeding the daily need.

Chapter V. Rules for Conducting Operations in Incoming Cash Registers

70. Cash deposits from customers into their bank accounts are carried out based on cash deposit notices in Form 001 presented in Appendix 5 of these Guidelines, and the acceptance of other types of one-time payments is carried out through incoming cash orders in Form 008 specified in Appendix 4, with the issuance of receipts in Form 004 shown in Appendix 44.

71. The cash deposit notice in Form 001 consists of three parts — the cash deposit notice, the receipt, and the order. The cash deposit notice is attached to the daily cash documents, the receipt is given to customers handing over the cash, and the orders are given to accounting staff.

72. When cash is accepted from bank employees, copies of incoming cash orders signed by the cashier and stamped with the seal of the incoming cash cashier are given instead of receipts.

When accepting utility payments (heating, hot water, drinking water, sewage, electricity, gas, and waste) from individuals, payment blanks developed by each service-providing organization are used.

All one-time payments are carried out using blanks in Form 002-S-TX. The form of the blank is presented in Appendix 49 of these Guidelines. The first part of the blank notice is attached to the bank's daily cash documents, and the second part is given to the customer. When individuals pay taxes, they must use a special payment blank (Appendix 50 of these Guidelines). The payment blank consists of three parts — the notice, the stub, and the incoming order. The incoming order is attached to the daily cash documents, the stub is given to individuals who paid the taxes, and the notice is submitted to the relevant district (city) state tax inspection employees (specialists) upon their request. (Third paragraph of Paragraph 72 was edited by Resolution No. 17/5 of the Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated June 11, 2011 (Registration No. 1831-2, 21.07.2011) — Legislative Acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 2011, No. 29, Article 310)

73. Before customers deposit cash into bank accounts, accounting staff check and formalize the documents in the manner specified in the "Guidelines on Accounting and Organization of Accounting Work in Banks of the Republic of Uzbekistan" (Registration No. 1834, July 11, 2008) (Collection of Legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 2008, No. 28, Article 276).

After that, the documents are signed in the incoming cash register journal and handed over to the cash register.
(First paragraph of Paragraph 73 was edited by Resolution No. 17/5 of the Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated June 11, 2011 (Registration No. 1831-2, 21.07.2011) — Legislative Acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 2011, No. 29, Article 310)

74. After receiving the incoming documents, the cashier must check for the presence of accounting staff signatures on them and ensure that these signatures match the samples kept by the cashier, check that the customer's signature is present, and verify that the amount indicated matches the amount written in numbers and words. After that, the cashier must call the customer and accept the cash piece by piece.

75. If the customer hands over cash to the bank cash register based on several incoming documents for several accounts, the cashier accepts the cash separately for each document.

76. There should be no cash other than the cash being accepted from the person depositing the money on the cashier's desk. All cash previously accepted by the cashier must be stored in desk drawers, metal cabinets, or safes.

The workplace of the incoming cash cashier must be equipped in such a way that it allows the customer to observe the recounting of the cash.

77. After accepting the cash, the cashier compares the amount indicated in the incoming document with the amount obtained upon recounting. If they match, the cashier signs the cash deposit notice in Form 001, the receipt, and the corresponding order (incoming cash orders), stamps the receipt (copy of the incoming cash order) with a seal, and gives it to the person handing over the cash. After that, the cashier sends the order of the notice and copies of the incoming cash orders to the responsible executor or the employee maintaining the incoming cash register journal, and keeps the cash deposit notice for themselves.

78. If the amount of cash handed over by the customer does not match the amount indicated in the document, the customer is offered to refill the document. The cashier draws a line through the original document and writes the actually accepted cash amount on the back.

The incoming documents are given to the accounting staff. The accounting staff erases the initially indicated amount in the cash register journal, writes the new amount of the placed cash, formalizes the accepted documents again, and sends them to the cash register. Receipts in Form 004 are stored in the manner specified in Paragraph 79 of these Guidelines, and incoming documents are destroyed.

79. If the customer has not handed over cash to the bank cash register, the cashier returns the incoming documents along with the receipts to the accounting staff to determine the reason. After determining the reasons for non-handover, the reasons for non-handover are indicated on the receipts, and the head of the bank, chief accountant, or their deputies sign the document.

In such cases, entries in the cash register journals are erased, incoming documents are destroyed, and receipts in Form 004 are returned to the accounting staff, who paste them onto the cover of the receipt books.

80. If unusable banknotes are found, the cashier must give them to the cash manager for verification. If the unusability of these banknotes is confirmed, a seal with the bank's name and the signature of the person who made the decision are applied, and a seal stating "Exchange Refused" is stamped, and the banknotes are returned to the owner or, at the customer's request, handed over for expertise in the manner specified in Paragraph 197 of these Guidelines.

If counterfeit banknotes are detected, the cashier must immediately notify the head of the cash operations department (cash manager) and the bank manager, and subsequently act in accordance with the requirements specified in Paragraph 203 of these Guidelines.

Such banknotes are not included in the placed amount; instead, the customer is offered to cover the amount of unusable or counterfeit banknotes not received (pay) or to fill out another incoming document in the manner specified in Paragraph 78 of these Guidelines for the actually accepted usable banknote amount.

81. The cashier must record in their book in Form 155 presented in Appendix 13 of these Guidelines the amounts of cash accepted and handed over from the cash manager every day.

82. At the end of the bank's operational day, based on the accepted documents, each cashier of the incoming cash register prepares a certificate in Form 109 and compares the amount in it with the amount of cash they accepted. The certificate is signed by the cashier, and the cash turnovers (turnovers) indicated in it are compared with the entries in the cash register journals of the accounting staff. The comparison is formalized by the signature of the accounting staff on the certificate in Form 109 of the cashier and the signature of the cashiers on the incoming cash register journals of the accounting staff. The form of the certificate is presented in Appendix 12 of these Guidelines.

83. Maintaining the incoming (outgoing) cash register journal is assigned to one of the accounting staff.

84. The cash accepted by the cashier during the bank's operational day is bundled in the manner specified in Chapter IV of these Guidelines and handed over to the cash manager along with the incoming documents and the certificate in Form 109, signing the book in Form 155.

85. The cash manager compares the accepted cash amount with the cashier's certificate, writes the accepted amount in their book in Form 155, signs the certificate, and gives it to the chief accountant to check the correct use of receipts in Form 004. After the certificate is checked, it is signed by the chief accountant and given to a specially assigned employee for attachment to the day's cash documents.

86. Cash insufficient to form complete bundles and bundles at the end of the day is given to one of the circulating cash cashiers to combine, signing the book in Form 155 based on the cash manager's instruction.

87. If necessary, cash received by incoming cash registers may be given to the cash manager several times during the bank's operational day, signing the book in Form 155.

In such cases, before handing over the cash, the cashier must ensure that the actually received cash matches the total amount of cash in the accepted incoming cash documents.

88. All cash received before the end of the bank's operational day must be deposited into the circulating cash and transferred to the corresponding account on the bank's balance sheet on the same working day.

Chapter VI. Issuing Cash and Valuables through Outgoing Cash Registers

89. Cash is issued from the bank cash register in the following manner:

a) To business entities — based on cash checks in the form specified in Appendix 45 of these Guidelines;

b) To individuals who have taken loans from the bank, borrowers, and pensioners — based on outgoing cash orders presented in Appendix 11 of these Guidelines. The issuance of cash for the needs of the bank's management apparatus and other expenses is also carried out in exactly this manner.

At the end of the day, an outgoing cash order is formalized for the total amount of cash withdrawn by individuals from bank plastic cards through the terminal in the bank cash register. In this case, the amount of each operation performed through bank plastic cards must be entered into the information tape specified in Paragraph 231 of these Guidelines. (Paragraph 89-1 was added based on Resolution No. 17/5 of the Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated June 11, 2011 (Registration No. 1831-2, 21.07.2011) — Legislative Acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 2011, No. 29, Article 310)

91. After the bank's cash reserve is opened, the cash manager, branch manager, and chief accountant recount the cash balance in the circulating cash. After ensuring that the cash balance matches the data in the book in Form 120 presented in Appendix 40 of these Guidelines, the cash manager gives the amount of cash necessary for outgoing operations to the cashiers, signing the book in Form 155 under a reporting condition. Complete and incomplete banknote bundles are checked based on the information on the overlays, and bundles consisting of incomplete bundles are recounted one by one (recounting may be carried out under the supervision of one of the cash employees appointed by the cash manager) and accepted.

Coins are accepted based on the inscriptions on the labels and bags.

92. The cashier must record in their book of Form 155 all amounts received from the cash manager under the condition of reporting, the number and amount of documents paid, and the remaining balance of amounts under their accountability, which must be returned to the cash manager with a signature.

93. After the cash manager has provided the necessary amount of money to the cashiers under the condition of reporting, the cash manager must recount the remaining cash in the vault and compare it with the cash balance at the beginning of the working day.

94. A representative of a business entity submits money checks and other documents to the employee of the bank's accounting department (front office) serving this customer to withdraw cash. After verifying these documents, they provide the customer with the control mark of the money check or the detachable stub of the expense order to present to the cashier.

95. Expense documents are submitted to the cashier by accounting (front office) employees with a signature on the data entry sheet (cash journal) in specific cases. It is strictly prohibited for the person receiving the money to submit expense documents to the cashier.

96. At the discretion of the bank's chief accountant, the keeping of the cash journal in two copies is permitted, and the submission of expense documents to the cashier is allowed after the cashier signs the first copy of the cash journal.

97. Upon receiving an expense document (money check, cash order, etc.), the cashier must perform the following:

a) call the person receiving the money by the number of the expense document;

b) compare the number of the control mark or detachable stub presented to the cashier with the number in the expense document and paste the control mark or detachable stub onto the corresponding check or order;

c) verify the presence of signatures of bank officials authorized to decide on the payment of money and ensure that these signatures match the existing samples;

e) verify the presence of the personal signature of the person receiving the money and the signature of the bank's responsible employee;

f) verify the presence of a passport or certificate confirming the identity of the person receiving the money (the certificate is issued only by the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Internal Affairs, National Security Service, and Ministry of Emergency Situations to their employees);

g) compare the information in the passport or certificate confirming the customer's identity with the information in the check;

h) prepare the amount of money indicated in the document, ask the person receiving the money how much money they are receiving, compare the prepared amount of money once again with the expense documents, and after handing it to the person receiving the money, obtain their signature on the expense documents.

There must be no other money on the cashier's desk besides the money prepared for handover.

98. The cashier must hand over money in intact bundles and stacks according to the amounts indicated on the wrappers and bands, without counting the money one by one.

In this case, the seals on the bundles (guarantee seams with the cashiers' personal numbers) must be cut in the presence of the person receiving the money. The cashier must count the money in incomplete stacks and in stacks with damaged wrappers one by one.

Coins placed in bags and packets are handed over according to the inscriptions on the packets and bands. If a whole bag of coins is handed over, the bank cashier must cut the seal on the bag in the presence of the person receiving the money.

99. After opening a stack to count the money one by one, the cashier must recount all the money in it one by one.

100. In cases where bundles of money in the wrappers of the "Davlat Belgisi" State Production Association under the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan are opened and handed over to customers in separate stacks or counted one by one, the money in the bundle must be pre-counted and fully recounted one by one in the presence of the cash manager or an employee assigned for this purpose.

101. When handing over money in the wrapper of the "Davlat Belgisi" State Production Association to a customer, the series and numbers of the last three denominations must be recorded in a separate notebook, and the money must be handed over with the customer's signature.

102. When handing over money to customers, cashiers are prohibited from exchanging money of one denomination for money of another denomination at the customer's request.

103. The person who received money from the bank cashier must, without leaving the vicinity of the cashier, compare the total amount received with the amount indicated in the document, check it by bundles and stacks, and accept it by recounting individual unstacked money one by one under the supervision of the cashier who handed over the money.

104. The bank customer must recount all money received one by one in a specially designated room under the supervision of the bank cashier or controller.

In such cases, the cashier of the expense cash does not cut the seals or guarantee seams on the bundles of money being handed over, but rather monitors the full preservation of seals, knots, bands, etc. In the event of an excess or shortage from the money stack, a protocol of Form 145 specified in Appendix 31 of these Instructions is drawn up in two copies; if unusable or counterfeit money is detected, a protocol of Form 145a is drawn up. The first copy of the protocol is attached to the daily cash documents, and the second copy is sent to the accounting department for making accounting entries. In this case, all bands, sealed packaging material, or polyethylene bags and the top wrapper of the stack with the incorrect amount, as well as the label of the bag containing coins, are fully preserved along with the sealed packaging.

105. After the customer has recounted the cash in one bundle, the bank controller cuts the seal on the bundle (guarantee seams with the cashiers' personal numbers) and continues to monitor the money being recounted by the customer by stacks.

106. Applications from recipients regarding a shortage of money or coins will not be satisfied if they did not recount the money without leaving the vicinity of the cashier or did not recount it under the supervision of the bank controller in the room allocated for recounting. A notice must be posted in a conspicuous place in front of the expense cashiers regarding this.

Regardless of whether the complaints of the money recipients are satisfied or not, the bank manager must take measures to examine the application regarding the shortage of money.

107. It is prohibited to perform such operations if a representative of a business entity submits a check and an announcement for cashing checks and cash simultaneously without depositing cash to the bank cashier.

108. In specific cases, if the bank manager permits partial payment of the amount indicated in the check, a certificate may be issued to the person receiving the money regarding the actual amount of money being paid under this check.

The certificate is signed by the manager and chief accountant and stamped with the bank seal. A note is written on the back of the check regarding the amount of money received from the person receiving the money. A copy of the certificate regarding the partial payment of money is attached to the check and attached to the day's cash documents.

109. At the end of the bank's operating day, after comparing the amount received on an accountability basis by the cashier with the amount in the expense documents and the cash balance, the cashier draws up and signs the reporting statement of Form 110 provided in Appendix 35 of these Instructions and compares the cash turnovers indicated therein with the entries in the cash journals of the bank's accounting department employees. The comparison is formalized by the cashier signing the expense cash journal and the signatures of the accounting department employees on the cashier's statement.

110. The expense turnovers of the cash are entered into the summary statement of cash turnovers of Form 111 provided in Appendix 36 of these Instructions by the total amount.

111. The cashier, in the prescribed manner, signs the book of Form 155 with the prepared cash balance and the day's expense cash documents along with the reporting statement and hands them over to the cash manager. The cash manager checks the reporting statement, compares it with the cash balance, signs it, and gives it to one of the cashiers to attach to the day's cash documents.

112. At the end of the bank's operating day, the money in separate stacks wrapped and tied by other cashiers and unsealed money bundles remaining with the cashiers must be recounted one by one in the prescribed manner and wrapped and tied before being handed over to the cash manager. Separate packets of coins placed by other cashiers are not counted one by one but are placed in a combined bag of coins of different denominations (nickel coins separately, bronze coins separately).

Money in bundles and stacks that cannot be fully tied may be handed over by the turnover cash cashier to one of the cashiers at the end of the day under the instruction of the cash manager to combine them, having signed their book of Form 155.

113. The remaining advance (advance payment) received for paying salaries to bank employees, after the end of the working day, is placed in a bag by the cashier, the mouth of the bag is sewn together with a label, and it is tied tightly with a cord. There should be no knots or tied places on the cord. After indicating the date of tying the bag and the amount of money placed in it on the label, the cashier signs it and stamps it with a rectangular seal with their name written on it.

After the ends of the cord are tied, it is sealed with the cashier's seal. This bag is handed over to the cash manager, having signed the book of Form 155, for storage until the beginning of the next working day.

The cash manager checks the integrity of this bag and its correct tying upon acceptance without passing it through the balance sheet.

114. The cash available in the turnover cash may be prepared in advance by banks for the purpose of handing over cash to customers based on customer orders, without exceeding its limit.

115. The preparation and wrapping/tieing of cash to be handed over the next working day according to cash checks received from the bank accountant is carried out in the following order:

a) The cashier assigned to prepare the money in advance checks the correct documentation of the expense documents they have accepted after the end of the cash shift. If the available cash is insufficient, the cashier may accept the missing amount from the cash manager through their book of Form 155;

b) Cash prepared separately for each document (complete and incomplete bundles, bags of coins with pre-cut seals, stacks of money) is handed over to the cashier. Under the supervision of the controller, they check that the money amounts and bundles are selected correctly and place them in a bag without external seams. The mouth of the bag is sewn and tied tightly with a cord without knots or tied places. The date of wrapping/tieing and the total amount of money placed are indicated on the label. After that, the signatures of the cashier and controller are affixed, and rectangular seals with their surnames and names are stamped. The ends of the cord are tied, sealed with the cashier's seal, and the expense documents are attached to the label.

Bags containing small amounts of money prepared for handover may be placed in a common bag or a lockable cart. The cashier seals them, attaches a label indicating the total amount of money placed. The label is signed with the date, signatures of the cashier and controller, and stamped with a rectangular seal with the surname and name written on it. In such cases, all expense documents are attached to the common label;

c) The cash manager accepts the cash prepared for handover along with the expense documents, signing the cashier's book of Form 155.

116. Money is accepted based on the inscriptions on the labels attached to the bags (carts), and their integrity, correct wrapping/tieing of the money, and clear impression of the seals are checked.

The cashier accepts the money in exactly this manner the next morning from the cash manager, having signed the book of Form 155.

117. The cashier hands over bags with cash to customers in accordance with Paragraph 97 of these Instructions. Seals are not cut from the bags being handed over.

Customers open the bags in a specially designated room under the supervision of a bank employee, and the bank employee cuts the seals.

Chapter VII. Procedure for accepting bags (pouches) containing cash and other valuables from cash-in-transit service employees by the evening cash

118. Evening cashes are organized in banks for the purpose of accepting bags (pouches) containing cash and other valuables from cash-in-transit service employees after the end of the bank's operating day. The acceptance of cash-in-transit bags (pouches) in the evening cash is carried out by the evening cash cashier and controller-accountant appointed from among the cash and accounting department employees.

119. It is strictly prohibited for the controller-accountant of the evening cash to work in the recounting cash and for the controller of the recounting cash to perform the duties of the evening cash employees.

120. If the cash-in-transit brigade moves in one direction, the evening cash cashier accepts bags (pouches) containing cash from the brigade leader with the participation of all cashiers working in this brigade.

121. If the cash-in-transit brigade moves in several directions, the driver of the automobile participating in the collection of cash receipts must remain near the automobile until the bags containing valuables are accepted by the cashier and guard the bags containing cash receipts collected from other directions.

122. When handing over bags (pouches) containing cash receipts, cashiers submit to the controller-accountant of the evening cash the cargo letters of Form 006 issued to these bags provided in Appendix 19 of these Instructions, visit sheets of Form 107 specified in Appendix 32, and a statement regarding the number of empty bags (pouches) and the number of empty bags and visit sheets issued to cashiers for the direction provided in Appendix 8, to check that the inscriptions on the cargo letters match the visit sheets. Bags (pouches) to be accepted from cashiers are filled out in two copies on the form for recording accepted cash bags, pouches, and empty bags provided in Appendix 7 of these Instructions, registered cargo letters are given to the cashier.

If corrections are made on the visit sheets without appropriate comments during the acceptance of cash-in-transit bags, if the inscriptions on the visit sheets do not match the inscriptions on the cargo letters, and other deficiencies are detected, as well as if additional bags containing cash receipts are handed over, the numbers of these additional bags must be indicated in the "Remarks" column of the form. The total amount indicated on the sheet must be compared with the total amounts on the visit sheets for additional control.

123. The controller-accountant determines the number and numbers of empty bags (pouches) to be submitted to the cash based on the information written on the visit sheets and the actual number of empty bags.

After that, the controller-accountant checks that the number of bags (pouches) submitted to the cash by the cashiers matches the number specified in the statement (Appendix 8) and returns the visit sheets to the cashiers.

124. When accepting bags (pouches) containing cash, the cashier checks the following:

a) the presence or absence of any external damage and other defects (patches, external seams, torn places, crushed and damaged seals, broken or tied cords, etc.) in the bags (pouches) containing money;

b) the clarity of the seal impression and its compliance with approved samples (Paragraph 355 of these Instructions);

c) the compliance of the numbers of the bags submitted by the cashiers with the numbers indicated in the cargo letters;

d) the compliance of the number of bags containing coins, as well as the total amount of the accepted receipts, with the amount indicated in the cargo letters.

125. After accepting bags (pouches) for each direction (entry), the cashier, controller-accountant, senior cashier, and collecting cashiers sign both copies of the form (Appendix 7). The first copy is stamped with the seal (stamp) of the cash-in-transit brigade that handed over the valuables, and the second copy is stamped with the seal of the evening cash and handed over by the controller-accountant to the senior cashier of the brigade. The seal must be attached to the evening cash cashier and stored there.

126. The cashier places the bags (pouches) accepted for the direction (entry) into the cash storage vault (safe) under the supervision of the controller-accountant. Together with the controller-accountant, they compare the number of bags (pouches) indicated on the form (Appendix 7) with the number of bags accepted for the direction, and after ensuring that all accepted bags are placed in the cash storage vault (safe), they lock the cash storage vault (safe) with two keys and seal it with two wax seals.

127. The first key, along with the seal, is attached to the cashier, and the second key and seal are attached to the controller-accountant. In this case, each employee locks the vault with their own key and seals it with their personal seal and hands it over to the security service in the prescribed manner.

128. Documents regarding the acceptance of bags containing cash and other valuables are stored together with the collected receipts.

129. A statement regarding the total number of cash bags (pouches) and empty bags accepted for all directions (Appendix 10) is drawn up in two copies.

The first copy of the statement, along with the register for accounting for the acceptance of bags, is handed over to the controller of the recounting cash, having obtained signatures on both copies. The second copy of the statement is stored in the cash storage vault of the evening cash employees for up to one year, after which they are destroyed with the participation of a special commission.

130. When cashiers present bags (pouches) containing cash or other valuables with defects (doubtful seal, its displacement from the cord, damage to the bag (pouch) or lock, mismatch between the amount of collected receipts indicated in the cargo letter and visit sheet, etc.), the cashier, together with the controller-accountant, opens such bags (pouches) with the participation of the cashiers who presented them and recounts the money and valuables inside one by one.

131. Opening defective bags (pouches) and recounting the money and valuables inside one by one (piece by piece) is carried out with the participation of a representative of a business entity (customer) based on the instruction of the bank manager.

132. In all cases of accepting defective bags (pouches), a protocol is drawn up in three copies regarding the results of recounting the money and valuables inside. All persons participating in the acceptance and recounting of money and valuables sign the protocol. The protocol indicates the date of acceptance and opening of the bag (pouch), its number, to which business entity it is attached, who recounted the money and valuables inside in which room and with the participation of whom, what defects were detected, in what packaging the money and valuables were, the amount indicated in the additional documents of the money and valuables, and the actual amount obtained during recounting by the type and value of valuables in the bag (pouch).

The first copy of the protocol is attached to the bank's daily cash documents, the second copy is given to the cash-in-transit employees who brought the valuables, and the third copy is handed over to the business entity that handed over the valuables to the cashiers.

Chapter XI. Procedure for Closing Turnover Cash Desks

219. Territorial Main Directorates of the Central Bank establish limits for the balance of cash held in turnover cash desks of banks. The limit for the balance of the turnover cash desk is set at the end of the day.

The sum of money and metal coins available in the turnover cash desk must not exceed the established limit sum. The sum of money and metal coins issued to currency exchange branch employees on a reporting basis is not included in the turnover cash desk limit of the bank.

Bank managers must take measures to fill their turnover cash desks up to the established limit.

220. If the cash available in bank (bank branch) cash desks (turnover cash desk and cash reserve) is insufficient to ensure expected payments, the bank applies to the Territorial Main Directorates of the Central Bank for an advance for the amount of missing cash based on an order in accordance with the "Regulations on Organizing Operations Related to Money Circulation by Banks in the Republic of Uzbekistan" (registration number 1518, October 26, 2005) (Collection of Legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 2005, No. 43-44, Art. 334).

Advances requested by the bank (bank branch) may be provided in the established manner from the cash of the Settlement-Cash Center turnover cash desk or other bank (bank branch) cash desks based on the order of the Territorial Main Directorate of the Central Bank.

Obtained advances must be spent for the established purposes within three bank working days. Advances not spent within this period must be returned to the Settlement-Cash Center of the Territorial Main Directorate of the Central Bank.
(Paragraph 220 in the edition of the Resolution of the Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated June 11, 2011, No. 17/5 (registration number 1831-2, 21.07.2011) — Collection of Legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 2011, No. 29, Art. 310)

221. If the balance exceeds the limit of the turnover cash desk, the excess amount over the limit must be transferred on the same day in the established manner to the balance sheet account 10102 "Cash Reserve."

Excess balances of the turnover cash desk over the limit must be transferred to the cash reserve in full bundles of banknotes or full bags of coins, stored separately in shelves or safes from the cash of the turnover cash desk, and accounted for in Book Form 141 provided in Appendix 46 of these Regulations.

Operations for transferring excess balances from account 10101 "Cash in Turnover Cash Desk" to account 10102 "Cash Reserve" are formalized through expense cash orders from account 10101 "Cash in Turnover Cash Desk" and income cash orders to account 10102 "Cash Reserve." Disbursements from account 10102 "Cash Reserve" are formalized through expense cash orders, and receipts to account 10101 "Cash in Turnover Cash Desk" are formalized through income cash orders. Providing advances to other banks is carried out from account 10101 "Cash in Turnover Cash Desk."

When sending cash to the Settlement-Cash Center of the Territorial Main Directorate of the Central Bank or to another bank, the amount to be sent is transferred from the cash reserve to the turnover cash desk. The transportation of cash must be carried out through incassators of the Republic Incassation Service of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan in full bundles of fit banknotes or full bags of coins. (Paragraph 221, fourth paragraph, in the edition of the Resolution of the Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated May 6, 2017, No. 9/1 (registration number 1831-4, 14.06.2017) — Collection of Legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 2017, No. 24, Art. 508)

222. Banks that have accumulated a sufficient amount of worn-out money within the limit of the turnover cash desk may exchange worn-out money for fit money at the cash operations departments of their Main Bank Directorates. In this regard, the pickup of worn-out money and the receipt of exchanged money is carried out through incassators based on the orders of the banks.

223. Depending on the accumulation of worn-out money in the cash operations departments of bank directorates, Main Bank Directorates may exchange worn-out money for fit money at the Settlement-Cash Centers of the Territorial Main Directorates of the Central Bank through incassators. In this regard, worn-out money is accepted by the staff of the Settlement-Cash Center by counting it piece by piece in the presence of a bank representative.

224. After comparing cash turnovers with the cash journals of accounting staff, cashiers hand over the cash balance held by them and formed in the established manner to the Cashier Manager along with their certificates and cash documents according to Book Form 155 and control slips.

225. After accepting money, reporting data, and documents from cashiers, the Cashier Manager:

a) checks that the sum of cash turnovers indicated in the cashiers' certificates is signed and certified by accounting staff;

b) verifies that the cash balance in the certificates is correctly indicated, taking into account the entries in his Book Form 155;

c) checks that the number and sum of documents handed over by cashiers correspond to those indicated in the certificates.

226. Thereafter, the Cashier Manager draws up a summary report Form 111 regarding the sums of money accepted by the recounting cash desk and indicated in reports and entries, as well as documents for which money was accepted or personally issued by him, and compares the totals with accounting data. After the comparison is formalized by the signature of the accounting staff member on the Form 111 certificate, this certificate is stored in the daily cash documents together with the reporting certificates of cashiers in Form 109 and Form 110.

227. After comparing the day's cash turnovers, the Cashier Manager writes the total sum of cash income and expenditure in Book Form 120 and calculates the established cash balance for the next day.

228. If a discrepancy arises between the cash balance in the cash desk and accounting data, the Cashier Manager immediately notifies the manager and chief accountant to identify the cause and take measures. If an excess or shortage is detected, an act in Form 145 is drawn up. In this case, excess money is credited to the bank's profit, and a shortage is recovered from the responsible person in the established manner.

Chapter XII. Procedure for Filing Daily Cash Documents

229. After cash data is compiled, the Cashier Manager or Senior Cashier files daily cash documents or gives them to one of the cash desk employees for filing and binding into a bundle together with attachments.

Daily cash documents are filed separately for cash income and expense according to balance sheet accounts (in ascending order of sequence numbers) (first for cashiers performing separate income operations, then for recounting cash desk operations), and then documents for unforeseen situations are selected, first income documents, then expense documents.

230. Cash documents must be filed into a separate daily bundle and bound and numbered without delay from the next working day.

A square stamp is applied to the front of the document bundle, or a label (Appendix 16) is attached.

232. After comparing the sums in daily cash documents with Book Form 120, the inscription on the front of the bundle is certified by the signatures of the Cashier Manager and cashier who formed it.

Cash documents must be returned to the bank cash desk after the inspection is completed. The Cashier Manager checks the complete return of these documents and returns the memo to the audit head.

239. The bank may provide information constituting bank secrecy, including cash documents, to courts, prosecutors, investigative and inquiry bodies, as well as state executors, only in cases provided for by the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Bank Secrecy," in sealed and stamped envelopes or in the form of electronic documents via protected communication channels through information systems.

281. In case of loss of a key to the cash storage vault (safe, metal cabinet), the internal structure (rotating part, secret) of the lock must be changed. Experienced persons with appropriate permission are involved in this work. A commission appointed by the bank head must draw up an act stating that the internal structure (rotating part, secret) of the lock has been changed and new keys have been prepared. It must indicate the reasons for changing the lock and preparing new keys, the surname of the person performing this work, and the presence of appropriate permission. Acts are always stored in the special binder of the bank head. Persons guilty of causing key loss are subject to disciplinary punishment depending on the circumstances of the incident.

282. Only officials responsible for the intact preservation of valuables and possessing keys and seals to cash storage vaults may enter the cash storage vault, and they must enter and exit the vault jointly.
     Other employees of the bank may enter the cash storage vault only with the permission of the head or his deputy (if granted the right to perform operations with the circulating cashier), and necessarily with the participation of officials responsible for the intact preservation of valuables.

283. On working days, all cash storage vaults must be opened and inspected by officials responsible for the intact preservation of valuables, regardless of whether operations with valuables were conducted or not.

284. Before opening cash vaults, officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables, along with a representative of the security service, must inspect doors, locks, systems, seals, and the ring mechanisms of doors through which the system passes to ensure they are intact. Subsequently, they must sign the book of Form 161 (provided in Appendix 37 of this Regulation) confirming the acceptance of the cash vault in a sealed state from security service employees.

In cases where doors, locks, systems, or seals are found damaged, or if there is suspicion of an attempt to enter the cash vault, an act must be drawn up immediately before the vault is opened. This act is prepared in three copies: one for the bank, one for law enforcement agencies, and one for the Head Office of the bank. All officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables and the representative of the security service sign the act, and necessary measures are taken on the spot, and the Head Office of the bank is notified.

If one ring of the system is cut and the sealed plate is removed, and after the vault is opened and inspected, the seals are destroyed.

If windows, walls, floors, or ceilings are damaged, existing valuables are inspected immediately, and an act is drawn up regarding this. In such cases, the seals are attached to the act without being destroyed.

285. During the working day, cash vaults must be locked with a key, and if valuables are present there, they must be sealed with the sealing seals of the officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables.

In all other cases, it is not permitted to temporarily store money in the antechamber of the cash vault for withdrawal.

Accepting the cash vault from the security service, sealing it, and handing it over for security at the end of the working day is carried out with the participation of the guard. The time when cash vaults are actually opened, closed, and handed over for security is indicated in the book of Form 161.

Books of Form 161 are kept separately for each type of vault, namely for handing over and accepting for security the circulating cash register and cash reserves, evening cash registers, and cash counting registers (when cash is stored outside working hours). After the cash vault is handed over for security, the book must be stored in the safe or metal cabinet of the person who handed it over.

286. Seals must be applied to the system passing over the recessed plate designed for the seal in the following sequence:

first — the cashier manager;

second — the chief accountant;

third — the head.

A system without knots and joints is passed through the rings of the cash vault door (screwed tight and welded) in such a way that the door cannot be opened without breaking the system and seals. Only sealing wax must be used when sealing the cash vault. Sealing plates must have the necessary recess, and when the seal is applied, it must not protrude beyond the diameter of the recess carved into the plate.

287. When accepting the sealed cash vault, the security service employee compares the seals with their samples again and signs the book of Form 161. Samples of seals used for sealing cash vaults and other doors are provided to the security service based on a certificate. The certificate must be kept with the bank head, and the book of Form 161 must be kept in a separate safe or metal cabinet of the cashier manager.

288. Officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables, cashiers, and other employees must be equipped with personal seals or cliches bearing the bank's name or code and serial number for sealing or plugging money bundles or bags containing coins.

These seals, plugs, cliches with personal codes, stamps with names written on them, and keys to cash vaults must be stored in such a way as to prevent unauthorized use by other persons.

289. All seals and keys to cash vaults (safes, metal cabinets), plugs, cliches, and rectangular seals with cashiers' names in the bank must be registered in a special accounting book (Appendix 27) maintained by the head or a person appointed by his written order, who is exempt from conducting operations with valuables. Keys, plugs, cliches, seals, and rectangular seals with cashiers' names are issued upon signing this book.

290. In cases where cash vaults (safes, metal cash boxes) are used by various cash employees outside working hours, separate books must be kept for the cash counting register and for the evening cash register to record the transfer of keys and seals from hand to hand. The aforementioned books are kept by the cashier manager and are accepted and handed over through him.

In cases where cashiers are temporarily absent from work (due to illness, vacation, etc.), plugs and cliches are handed over to the employee maintaining their accounting, and it is strictly prohibited to temporarily issue these plugs and cliches to other cashiers.

291. Seals, keys, plugs, cliches, and rectangular seals with cashiers' names that are not used in work or have become unsuitable must be stored wrapped and sealed in one of the cabinets in the cash vault, not reflected in the balance sheet, by officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables, or destroyed in the prescribed manner by a commission formed based on a special order issued by the head of the bank's branch (operational department).

292. Cashiers are strictly prohibited from leaving money and valuables, plugs, seals, rectangular seals with cashiers' names, cliches with personal codes, safes, metal cabinets, and keys to cash vaults in an open state when temporarily leaving their workplaces. It is also strictly forbidden to leave keys in the locks of doors of cash vaults, safes, metal cabinets, and metal cash boxes and carts installed on tables intended for storing money and valuables while operations are being performed.

293. If a cash employee falls ill or is forced to suddenly leave their job for other reasons during working hours, all valuables in their account and storage must be counted and accepted by the cashier manager as soon as possible. If there is no cashier at that time, valuables are counted and accepted with the participation of a commission (cashier manager, manager, chief accountant), and an appropriate act is drawn up. If necessary, cash is issued to other cashiers.

294. All cash must be handed over by cashiers to each other with signatures in the book of Form 155 or the control sheet of Form 175 (Appendix 21). Heads of cash operation departments (cashier managers) must regularly control the correct handing over of money by cashiers to each other and ensure they sign the book of Form 155 and the control sheet of Form 175 regarding this.

295. All accounting books provided for in this Regulation, as well as the book for accounting plugs, seals, and keys, and the book for recording cash operation inspections in banks, must be numbered, threaded, and sealed with the sealing or ink seal of the bank head. The number of numbered pages is written down and confirmed by the signatures of three officials.

Chapter XV. Inspection of Valuables

298. Inspection is carried out by persons appointed by a written order of the bank head who issued instructions on inspecting money, coins, and other valuables. The number of employees involved in the inspection is determined based on the volume of operations.

299. Employees with specific preparation, not involved in operations with valuables, and authorized to enter the cash section are involved in the inspection, and one of them is appointed as the head of the inspection. The bank head who issued the order for the inspection is responsible for the proper organization of the inspection and its conduct in accordance with established rules.

300. If the Head Office conducts an inspection regarding the storage of valuables in its branches, a repeat quarterly inspection during that quarter is permitted.

The interval between inspections must not exceed three months.

302. Persons not working in this bank are permitted to conduct inspections only if they have a certificate signed by the head of the Head Office and certified with the bank's round seal, as well as authorization to enter the cash section.

Temporary authorization (for the duration of the inspection) is filled out for persons involved in the inspection who do not have authorization to enter the cash section.

303. It is not permitted to combine sudden inspections conducted each quarter with inspections conducted as of January 1, or upon temporary replacement of officials, or in other cases provided for in letters "v" and "d" of paragraph 296 of this Regulation.

304. Inspection is conducted with the participation of officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables. In cases where the inspection is conducted without the participation of the official, this is specifically noted in the act, and all participants of the inspection sign it.

305. Conducted inspections must not interfere with operations carried out by the bank.

Inspection must be conducted in such a sequence that it checks the exact status of all valuables on a specific date suddenly, so that no opportunity arises to conceal theft, cash shortages, or deficiencies of valuables.

306. Upon starting the inspection, the head of the inspection seals all cash vaults in the cash room with a sealing seal at the time the inspection begins, regardless of the amount of valuables, and takes under his control all cash and other valuables available in the circulating cash register. He determines the presence of evening cash, cash counting registers, money and valuables under the responsibility of cashiers, and bags containing cash and valuables, and if present, conducts the inspection together with other valuables.

307. Until all valuables in the cash are fully inspected, officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables are permitted to enter cash vaults only under the supervision of the head of the inspection. During this time, taking out or putting in money and valuables is carried out under his control. In such cases, if it is not possible to inspect all the aforementioned valuables simultaneously at once, at the end of the working day, the head of the inspection, together with officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables, seals cash vaults and safes and hands them over to the security service in the prescribed manner.

The seal of the head of the inspection is applied to the plate before (above) the seals of the officials of the bank where the inspection is being conducted, and the seal sample is handed over to the bank's security service in the prescribed manner.

308. The head of the inspection personally separates money, coins, and other valuables for control recounting.

Bundles and bags with damaged wrapping and incorrectly filled overlays (covers) are recounted one by one and in batches.

309. If the bank head, chief accountant, or cashier manager is released from obligations related to the safekeeping of valuables, money and coins in the cash are recounted one by one and in batches.

The head of the Head Office may allow in the order on acceptance and handover of work to extend the established deadline or allow the selection of cash from the circulating and cash reserves for recounting one by one and in batches.

Recounting of money by selection one by one and in batches may be carried out in cases related to the release of officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables and the circulating cash register and cash reserves from their positions in the established manner, as well as for storing valuables and conducting operations with them.

310. Inspection of money, coins, and other valuables is carried out in the following manner:

a) Cash in circulating cash registers and cash reserves is checked by bundles and stacks, coins are checked by inscriptions on labels attached to bags, and money prepared in advance for issuance and wrapped and tied is checked by inscriptions on labels attached to bags.

The total sum of money is compared with the data in the books of Forms 120 and 141. After the aforementioned checks, money and coins are recounted en masse, one by one, and in batches.

In large banks (branches), sudden quarterly inspections of cash and valuables and inspections conducted upon temporary replacement of officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables may be recounted in the amount determined by the bank head who issued the order for the inspection.

The inspector, when giving money to the cashier for counting one by one, removes the banderol from the stack and keeps a certain part of the money for control in advance. After the cashier counts the money, he states their sum or number, the inspector adds the sum or number of money left for control to him, and compares the resulting sum with that indicated on the banderol.

If the number of counted money is correct, the money left for control is returned to the cashier for recounting and bundling in the prescribed manner.

If the number of counted money is incorrect (less or more), the inspector personally recounts the money, after which the cashier who counted the money initially recounts it again. If it is confirmed that the money was correctly placed in the bundle, the money must be re-wrapped and tied with a banderol in the prescribed manner. The banderols of the opened bundle, the top overlay, and the uncut sealed system (polyethylene film) must be kept by the inspector until all money in the bundle is fully counted.

In exceptional cases, permission may be granted to the cashiers who bundled them to recount this money;

b) Money and coins in the cash counting register are checked by recounting one by one in the amount determined by the head of the inspection or the bank head who issued the order for the inspection;

c) Unopened bags of accepted collection income of the evening cash register in the cash counting register and bags with valuables in cash offices of economic entities under the bank are compared with waybills, journals for accounting accepted cash and empty bags, and reports on the number of empty bags and visit sheets given to cashiers upon departure for collection. If damaged bags, broken plugs and seals, or bags not matching samples are found, the money inside them is recounted one by one. Representatives of economic entities (and, if necessary, representatives of internal affairs bodies) may be invited to participate in the recounting process;

d) All money and coins in bundles (bags) with damaged wrapping and incorrectly formalized overlays (labels) are recounted;

e) Foreign currency and payment instruments in foreign currency, inscriptions on labels attached to bundles, stacks, and bags, and top overlays are checked. In addition, money is counted one by one and in batches in the amount determined by the head of the inspection or the bank head who issued the order for the inspection. In this case, freely convertible currency and travel checks in this currency must be counted one by one and in batches, and in necessary cases, cashiers of currency exchange branches providing services to citizens on currency operations may be involved in counting money;

f) Savings booklets wrapped in bundles by type of valuables are checked by inscriptions on the top overlays of the bundles, and also checked in batches or one by one in the amount determined by the head of the inspection or the bank head who issued the order for the inspection;

g) All other valuables are checked by their nominal value or conditional price.

311. After money, coins, and other valuables available in cash vaults are recounted, inspectors compare the amount of existing valuables with the books of Forms 120, 121, 141, and 141A, the daily balance, and analytical accounting data. In addition, they check that all valuables taken for the inspection have been returned to the cash vaults.

Sums of uncashed letters and other documents not processed in accounting are not added to the cash balance and are considered as shortages from the cashier. Excess money found in the cash must be credited to the bank's profit and are not returned, except in certain cases indicated in paragraph 321.

If money is found to be less or more in any bundle, all bundles bundled by the cashier who counted that bundle are recounted one by one. If coins in a bag are found to be less or more, the money in it is also checked in this manner if the head of the inspection deems it necessary.

312. An act is drawn up regarding the inspection of valuables, and all employees participating in the inspection and officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables sign it. In cases where a shortage or excess of money and valuables is found, a discrepancy in accounting is identified, or deficiencies are found during the process of ensuring the safekeeping of valuables, copies of the acts are sent to the Head Office.

When an inspection is conducted due to the replacement of officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables, signing documents related to the storage of cash and other valuables in the circulating cash register, as well as documents related to conducting operations with them, is carried out by the handing-over person until the money and valuables are fully inspected and the act is signed.

In addition to inspecting money, coins, and other valuables, the organization of cash operations, the state of security and signaling devices, compliance with entry procedures with authorization, compliance with rules for accounting and storing keys, seals, plugs, and cliches, the collection of money income, and the organization of evening cash operations are checked based on a plan drawn up by the bank head each quarter.

Bank employees who can perform this task and know the work of this area well are involved in conducting the inspection.

If deficiencies are found in the issues being inspected, an act is drawn up indicating the deficiencies, the surnames of employees who committed violations in work, the causes of deficiencies, and measures taken to eliminate them. The inspector and the employee managing the inspected area sign the act.

314. All conducted inspections are recorded in the book of recording inspections (Appendix 28).

In this case, they must personally select bundles of money wrapped and tied by cashiers of the bank where the inspection is being conducted and bags containing coins, and record the sum of money taken out in the book of Form 123 (indicating the purpose of the check).

Control recounting is carried out with the participation of one of the officials responsible for the safekeeping of valuables or an employee not involved in operations with valuables or specially assigned for this purpose. Money allocated for recounting is wrapped and tied by the cashiers who counted them in the prescribed manner. A rectangular seal with the inscription "Recounted for Control" is stamped on the left part of the banderol, top overlay, and labels.

If control recounting and addition of incomplete money bundles are performed by the cashier manager, their control is carried out by the bank head or chief accountant.

Small business and private entrepreneurship entities may independently hand over cash receipts up to twenty times the minimum monthly wage to the cash of the bank (branch) where their main account is opened.
(Paragraph 364 supplemented with a second paragraph based on the Resolution of the Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 26/2 dated September 10, 2011 (registration number 1831-3, 06.10.2011) — O‘R QHT, 2011, No. 40, Article 445)

Business entities without permanent cash receipts may personally bring and hand over (self-carry) cash payments for deposited wages, pensions, benefits, honoraria, and other labor-related payments not paid in time, and in some cases, cash payments made to the cash to cover damage caused to the business entity by the employee, and other payments, as well as excess cash beyond the cash limit, to the bank cash serving the entity's account until the main requirement is made.

In this case, it is strictly prohibited to hand over funds to the cash of a bank (branch) where the main bank account is not opened via self-carry. Legal entities are subject to fine sanctions established by legislation for banks (branches) that accept cash via self-carry from other bank customers.

365. When handing over cash receipts to incassators, business entities fill out a set of forms of Form 006 (Appendix 19) in triplicate on black paper for each bag.

The first copy of the form (attachment register) is placed in the special pocket of the incassation bag, the second copy (cargo waybill for the bag) is given to the collector-incassator along with the bag containing cash receipts, and the third copy (receipt) remains with the customer.

366. Before accepting the bag containing cash receipts, the collector-incassator presents to the cash depositor a personal ID with a photo, a power of attorney of Form 173 (Appendix 33) for receiving cash receipts, and a visit sheet of Form 107 (Appendix 32).

The responsible employee of the business entity records all required entries in the visit sheet when handing over the bag containing cash receipts to the incassator. It is strictly prohibited for the incassator to make these entries.

If two or more bags containing cash receipts are handed over to the incassator, or if two or more empty bags are received, the number of bags is written in words in the columns "Number of bags containing cash receipts" and "Number of empty bags received from the incassator" of the visit sheet instead of numbers.

367. When accepting bags, the collector-incassator checks the following:

a) the suitability and integrity of the bag;

b) its correct sealing (integrity of the sealing slot, clarity of the seal impression, and its similarity to the sample);

c) the correspondence of the numbers of the bags being accepted and handed over to the numbers indicated in the visit sheet, cargo waybill, and receipt;

d) the signature of the responsible person of the business entity on the cargo waybill and receipts;

e) the correspondence of the amount of cash receipts indicated in the visit sheet to the entries in the cargo waybill and receipt, and the mutual correspondence of the amounts written in numbers and words in the cargo waybill and receipt.

After that, the third copy of the receipt is signed, the date and the number of the bag being accepted are written on it, the direction stamp is applied, and the empty bag is handed over to the responsible employee of the business entity.

When accepting two or more bags, the collector-incassator checks the number of bags and the total amount of receipts by looking at the entries in the cargo waybill and receipt for each bag.

If the bag is found to be damaged or the additional documents are incorrectly formalized, the acceptance of bags containing cash receipts is stopped. Errors and deficiencies that do not lead to a disruption of the travel schedule of the incassator brigade on the direction may be corrected only with the participation of the collector-incassator.

In other cases, the acceptance of bags containing cash receipts from the business entity (cash depositor) is carried out during their repeat visit, and the appropriate entries are recorded in the visit sheet.

In case of refusal to hand over bags containing cash receipts, the business entity records the reasons for non-handover in the visit sheet and confirms it with their signature.

368. The leader of the incassator brigade accepts bags containing cash receipts from the collector-incassator in the manner specified above, and then gives them the empty bag belonging to the next business entity to accept receipts from that entity.

The cargo waybills and visit sheets for bags containing cash receipts remain with the collector-incassator. While moving along the direction, bags containing cash receipts are stored in sacks or special boxes with the brigade leader.

369. Incassators hand over bags with cash receipts brought to banks to the bank's evening cash in the manner specified in paragraphs 122-124 of these Instructions.

After the head of the incassation department (or their deputy, duty incassator) checks that all business entities have been served and that the number of bags handed over by incassators to the bank cash corresponds to the number of bags received from business entities, they record this in the form (Appendix 7) and in the book of Form 172 regarding the acceptance of the power of attorney, visit sheets, and direction stamp from the collector-incassator.

The head of the incassation department (or their deputy, duty incassator) draws up a certificate (Appendix 9) on the total amount of cash receipts handed over according to the form for recording accepted cash bags, sacks, and empty bags (Appendix 7) and gives it to the chief accountant of the relevant bank.

In addition, the head of the incassation department (or their deputy, duty incassator) signs and hands over the second copy of the certificate (Appendix 25) on business entities that did not hand over cash receipts to incassators for the previous day to the bank management daily.

The ends of the twine are passed through a fabric label, on which the name of the bank sending the valuables, the date of wrapping and tying the bag, and the sequential number corresponding to the number in the list (Appendix 23) are indicated. The ends of the twine are then firmly tied. After that, the bag is sealed, and the cash employee controlling the wrapping and tying of the money signs the label on the bag.

The first copy of the list is given to the head of the collection brigade for submission to the head of the receiving bank. Copies 2 and 3 are used by the collection brigade for accepting and handing over the valuables and are submitted to the collection department after the task is completed; one of them serves as the basis for payment for the work performed. The 4th copy is stitched together with the orders and the power of attorney of the collection service in the daily cash documents of the sending bank, along with the relevant order of the Central Bank. (Paragraph 386, second sentence, in the edition of the Resolution of the Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated May 6, 2017, No. 9/1 (Registry No. 1831-4, 14.06.2017) — UR QHT, 2017, No. 24, Article 508)

The cash storage vault is additionally sealed (stamped) with the seal (seal) of the brigade leader and handed over for protection in the prescribed manner. A sample of the seal (stamp) is given to the guard. In such cases, the cash storage vault is opened in the presence of the head of the collection brigade.

388. It is permitted to store valuables and weapons in warehouses (safes) and hand them over for protection in the prescribed manner. Accepted valuables may also be stored in another adapted room or in an armored special vehicle. In such cases, the valuables are guarded by the cashiers responsible for their storage.

391. Every time valuables are transported to a vehicle or other transport, from one room to another, their quantity must be counted. The brigade cashiers must be positioned such that they can see every movement of the employees transporting the valuables.

392. After the valuables are loaded into special vehicles (if they are equipped with a separate cargo compartment), the door of the cargo compartment is sealed with the seal of the head of the collection brigade and certified with the seal of the cash manager (or another employee assigned this duty by order). A sample of the seal is recorded in Book No. 161 together with the lists and handed over to the head of the collection brigade.

393. After the valuables are brought to the appropriate place, the responsible employee of the bank accepting the valuables compares the seal pressed on the door of the special vehicle's cargo compartment with the seal sample sent through the head of the collection brigade, ensures that the impressions on the seals match, signs Book No. 161, and permits opening the door of the vehicle's cargo compartment. The valuables are accepted in the manner specified in paragraphs 401-402 of this Instruction.

The seal twines of the special vehicle's cargo compartment are kept until the valuables are accepted. In case of shortage of valuables (bags and bundles) or others, the seal twine of the vehicle's cargo compartment, along with the seal twine of the bag, seal samples, and other documents, are submitted.

394. If valuables belonging to other banks are located in a special vehicle, the door of the special vehicle's cargo compartment is sealed with the seal of the head of the collection brigade and confirmed with the seal of the responsible person of the bank from which the cargo is unloaded. A sample of the seal is recorded in Book No. 161 and handed over to the head of the collection brigade. This procedure continues until the valuables are delivered to the respective banks.
     (Paragraph 394 in the edition of the Resolution of the Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated June 11, 2011, No. 17/5 (Registry No. 1831-2, 21.07.2011) — UR QHT, 2011, No. 29, Article 310)

395. The transportation of valuables in the vehicles of the collection service or other means of transport is carried out under the supervision of all cashiers of the brigade performing this task. In such cases, vehicle drivers are prohibited from continuing their work in another direction or leaving for another place during the performance of the task.

The transportation of valuables must be carried out in closed-body vehicles of the collection service. However, in some cases, as an exception, the transportation of valuables in closed-body rented motor vehicles is permitted.

396. During the movement of the vehicle loaded with valuables, the head of the collection brigade must be in the driver's cabin, and other cashiers must be in the escort vehicle. The State Road Traffic Safety Service vehicle must move in front of the column, followed by the vehicle loaded with valuables, and then the escort vehicle. It is strictly prohibited for cashiers to enter other places, as well as for the vehicle to carry foreign persons or other cargo unrelated to the transported valuables.

397. All instructions of the head of the collection brigade must be executed clearly and unequivocally.

If valuables are to be transported for a long period, the brigade leader, depending on the conditions, organizes shifts among the cashiers. Deviations by cashiers accompanying the valuables are carried out with the permission of the brigade leader.

398. If the moving transport breaks down or another traffic accident occurs, making it impossible for the special motor transport to move, the head of the collection brigade must immediately notify the collection service or its territorial department and the Management of Emission-Cash Operations of the Central Bank. The collection service or its territorial department must immediately take measures to identify and eliminate the causes of the incident, with the aim of delivering the valuables to the specified location intact and on time and ensuring their integrity.
     (Paragraph 398 in the edition of the Resolution of the Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated May 6, 2017, No. 9/1 (Registry No. 1831-4, 14.06.2017) — UR QHT, 2017, No. 24, Article 508)

In cases where the loss, theft, or shortage of valuables is detected on the road or during their handover, the head of the collection brigade must immediately inform the head of the bank that sent the valuables, the collection department (division), the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and its territorial Main Directorate. He must carry out urgent measures to search for and return the valuables to their place and immediately notify the relevant internal affairs bodies on the ground to investigate this incident.

Money and other valuables brought to the bank branch must be accepted immediately without delay, regardless of when they were brought.

In cases of damaged or suspicious packages, the bundles of money brought and coins in bags by the cashiers are accepted by counting them one by one with the participation of the cashiers.

In this case, the sealed packages of the bags and the labels belonging to the bags are kept until the acceptance of valuables is completed. In case of a shortage of valuables (bundles, stacks, etc.), the sealed packages of the bags and the labels belonging to the bags are submitted to the bank counting the money together with other documents.

403. Bank managers must ensure the acceptance of valuables from the collection brigade and their handover in the prescribed manner not only on working days but also on general holidays, provided that the relevant documents are presented.

404. If unfit and counterfeit money is detected during the acceptance of money brought for cash entry, as well as in cases of shortage or excess money, the bank accepting the money draws up a protocol in Forms No. 145 and 145a. In such cases, the requirements of paragraphs 316–318 of this Instruction must be complied with, and the amount indicated in the attached documents must be entered into the cash regardless of the amount of shortage or excess. The amount of shortage is transferred to the relevant account for recovery from the guilty person, and excess money is entered into the bank's profit.

Instruction on Organizing Cash Operations, Collection, and Transportation of Valuables in Commercial Banks

APPENDIX 1

RULES FOR DETERMINING THE PAYMENT WORTHINESS INDICATORS OF UZBEK SOMS OF THE CENTRAL BANK OF THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN

1. Soms and coins that are money of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan, having the force of legal tender in the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan and not raising doubts about their authenticity, are considered fit for payment. All economic entities must accept the following banknotes for payment without any obstacles and hand them over to banks for money receipt accounts:

a) money with holes or tears, creases, stains, or writings in pencil and ink in any part;

b) torn and glued money, if the parts of the money undoubtedly belong to a single banknote;

c) money with spilled paint, changed natural color, burned, painted, or drawn on;

d) money that has not retained its full volume.

2. Metal coins that have retained their full volume and the image of their value on the front side, do not raise doubts about their authenticity, and have not changed their shape (deformed, crumpled, creased, pierced, cut, broken, subjected to friction, welded with any metal, melted in fire, turned blue and black), regardless of the type of damage, are considered fit for payment.

3. Money and coins with the defects indicated above arriving at banks of the Republic of Uzbekistan must be sorted and accounted for as obsolete money.

4. Defective banknotes and coins made by the "Davlat Belgisi" State Production Association are handed over by banks to the Accounting-Cash Centers of the Territorial Main Directorates of the Central Bank for exchange into fit money and coins without any obstacles. Economic entities and individuals may exchange defective money and coins for fit ones in banks or at Accounting-Cash Centers.

5. If seriously damaged banknotes are identified, it is necessary to use a special (grid) net during the process of determining the remaining area of the money, in the event that the absence of any part is known. The net consists of 200 cells, i.e., 20 cells represent the length of the banknote and 10 cells represent its width. 200 cells constitute 100 percent of the area of the banknote. In this case, the area of the net for banknotes with a value of 1 and 3 sum should be 120 x 62 mm, for banknotes of 5 - 100 sum 142 x 69 mm, and for banknotes of 200 - 50,000 sum 144 x 78 mm.
   (Paragraph 5 in the edition of the Resolution of the Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 28/4- dated October 21, 2017 (registry number 1831-6 07.11.2017) - National Database of Legislation Information, 08.11.2017, 10/17/1831-6/0228-no)

6. A damaged banknote is placed on a net of the appropriate size depending on its value, such that its preserved sides must coincide with the boundaries of the net. The damaged part of the banknote is traced along its contour, and the number of cells corresponding to the missing part of the banknote is calculated. Unevenly distributed cells at the edges of the banknote are added together, the sum is divided by two, and added to the number of full cells.

If, according to the obtained result, the preserved upper part of the banknote corresponds to 110 cells and the unpreserved part to 90 cells, i.e., 55 percent of the preserved part and 45 percent of the unpreserved part, such banknotes may be considered fit for payment, regardless of the type of damage and the location of the damaged part.

Banknotes consisting of several parts are exchanged if one part of the banknote is present and the area it occupies is not less than 55 percent, or if it is unequivocally a banknote and the previous set of states is not less than 55 percent.

In order to preserve the damaged part during wrapping and transportation, all banknotes being checked must be glued to tracing paper or thin paper.

When accepting a damaged banknote for expertise, an application is written by the customer.
