4. Cash counting facilities must be provided at the booths established in the haats with the help of note counting machines;

Circular No. – Counterfeit Note: 1(Policy)/2007-191
Date: 04/07/2007

Chief Executive,
All Scheduled Banks Operating in Bangladesh.

Dear Sir,

## Regarding the actions to be taken by banks in the event of receiving counterfeit notes.

It has been alleged that when a customer presents a counterfeit note at the counter during transactions in scheduled banks, officials tear the counterfeit note and return it to the customer, which is not in accordance with the rules. Clear instructions regarding the actions to be taken by banks in the event of receiving counterfeit notes are provided in Section 52 of Treasury Rules, Part-III, Chapter-IV, which are as follows:

> "(1) In the event of a forged note being presented, the note and the presenter should be made over to the police, if the Bank considers it advisable to do so. If, however, the Bank office is convinced that the presenter has presented the forged note in good faith, believing it to be genuine, he should impound the note, take his name, his father's name, local and permanent address and his full signature with date or left hand thumb impression if he is illiterate on the back of forged note, and his statement regarding the person from whom he received the note. The forged note and the presenter's statement should be sent to the police for further enquiry. After the enquiry has been completed, the police will forward the forged note to the Currency Office along with a report.

> Note - When a forged note is impounded, it should be stamped with the word 'Forged' or the word 'Forged' should be written on it in red ink in large letters before it is sent to the police for enquiry.

> (2) Notes disfigured by oil or other substances should be scrutinised with special care, as forged notes are sometimes intentionally thus disfigured to render detection difficult.

> (3) The managers of all banks have instructions to send forged notes presented to them to the police who will send them to Currency Officer for necessary action.

> (4) The Bangladesh Bank has authorised Currency Officer in Dhaka and designated officers in its other branches to impound forged notes."

In this situation, you are advised to take appropriate action as per the instructions provided in the above section after receiving counterfeit notes at bank branches.
