The National Monetary Council approves standardized models for issuing duplicate bills, categorizing them by payment structure: single payment, installment payments with separate bills per installment, and installment payments with a single bill listing all installments. The resolution sets strict dimensional limits for these models, specifying a height between 148mm and 152mm and a width between 203mm and 210mm. Financial institutions are prohibited from transacting or collecting duplicate bills that do not conform to these standardized models and dimensions after a one-year transition period following the resolution's effective date.
