Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has asked public sector banks not to report frauds below 1 lakh to police.

CVC issued orders for not reporting bank frauds below one lakh to local police unless it involved their their staff. Earlier it was mandatory for banks to report frauds of above 10,000 rupees and below one lakh to police department.

The decision was taken in consultation with RBI (Reserve Bank of India) taking into account the practical difficulties faced by banks in reporting such cases to police. In a directive to chief of all the banks, CVC said that only if the bank staff is involved in such frauds above 10 thousand but less than one lakh should they be reported at the local police station. All other frauds are to be scrutinised by the bank officials for further necessary actions.
