Dear Sir,
Reporting Green Banking, School Banking and CSR activities Please refer to BRPD circular letter no. 07/2012 on green banking, letter no. BRPDIP0Iicy-4/7611201114428-4474 dated November 28, 2011 on school banking, ACFID letters no.

Banks are required to report their green banking initiatives/activities on quarterly basis and school banking on half yearly basis to BRPD as per aforementioned circular letter and letter of BRPD. Banks are also required to submit report on CSR, gender equality and education budget related activities to ACFID on a half yearly basis as per said letters of ACFID. It has now been decided that banks shall submit the above mentioned reports to newly established Green Banking & CSR Department (GBCSRD) instead of BRPD and ACFID. Banks will be required to continue to submit quarterly reports on green banking, half yearly reports on school banking within the next 15 days of the respective quarter and half year end and CSR activities within the next 30 days of the respective half-year end. Banks shall keep their annual reports and websites updated with the disclosures on green banking, school banking and CSR activities/initiatives.
