To,
All Banks Authorised to Deal in Foreign Exchange
Madam / Sir,
Upgradation of Non-Resident Deposits–Comprehensive Single Return
(NRD-CSR)- Version 2.1(R) to Version 3.0
- Attention of banks maintaining Non-Resident Deposit (NRD) Accounts is invited to A. P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 99 dated April 30, 2003, in terms of which the data on Non-Resident Deposits is required to be submitted in the CSR format on a monthly basis based on the recommendation of the National Statistical Commission.
- Rationale for the new version The existing NRD-CSR version 2.1 (R) application package has been revised and upgraded to version 3.0 due to the following changes that have taken place recently :
- Modification in the IBS format on account of the implementation of the BIS (Bank for International Settlements) System of compilation of International Banking Statistics (IBS) of India;
- Addition of two new currencies viz. Australian Dollar (AUD) and Canadian Dollar (CAD) and increase in the maturity buckets in the FCNR (B) deposits [cf DBOD. Dir. BC. 22 / 13.03.00/ 2005-06 dated July 26, 2005]; and
- Need to provide useful tools to the user banks.
Accordingly, NRD-CSR (version 3.0) has been developed to capture the above developments, in a user friendly manner. Further, the Stat Returns have also been modified.
- Manner of Submission
As per the extant guidelines, banks authorised to deal in foreign exchange are submitting Stat 5 for FCNR (B) accounts and Stat 8 for NRE accounts to the Foreign Exchange Department, Reserve Bank of India, Trade Division, Central Office, Amar Building, Mumbai. Effective from April 2007, such banks are required to submit a soft copy of the revised Stat 5 and Stat 8 Returns in Microsoft Excel format, by email.

Note : (i) The data should be reported only once. Reporting same data repeatedly will lead to inconsistency since each time data is created using the NRD-CSR package, it creates one more file giving Bank name, address & contact details.
(ii) In case file is prepared by bank from bank's own system, the details about Bank name, Part I code, postal address, city, pin, name of responsible officer, phone & fax numbers with e-mail id may be reported in the forwarding letter. Further, to ensure accuracy of the format, it is advised that banks should use NRD-CSR 3.0 Head Office module and load data in the Input and get NRD-CS Return in the output after checking the data.
