13. There should not be any correction in the date & amount specified in the vouchers. If any correction occurs it should be attested by the depositor or the same may be destroyed and fresh vouchers may be obtained from the depositor before forwarding to SBCO branch. This will minimize lot of OM s raised for COC/COP.

15. In Finacle, when a TD a/c is
closed prematurely value date gets changed automatically to the date of opening
of the TD a/c and month with respect to the current month in which the a/c is
being closed. Counter PA has to change the value date as date of closure before
proceeding for closure. If the same not done it results in excess payment of
interest while giving SB credit. Avoid such irregularities.
