 Subject : Change in text of column No.2 printed in the standardized uniform savings bank passbook from Page No.2 to 24

The undersigned is directed to refer to this office letter of even number dated 16.04.2009 vide which draft of Standardized Uniform Savings Bank Passbook was circulated along with instructions. In the instructions no.10 enclosed with this letter, it was conveyed that "in computerized post offices where passbook printers are used, putting of date stamp against each transaction is now discontinued. However, this will continue for other offices where entries are made manually. Now, this office has been informed about a fraud detected in a EDBO where BPM failed to put date stamp in the passbook. In view of this, it has been decided to make provision for the date stamp by altering the text of column No.2 i.e "Particulars of Transaction" printed from Page No.2 to 24 with following text

Particulars of Transaction/Date Stamp (in case passbook printer is not in use and entry made manually)

It is once again clarified that putting of date stamp against each transaction is still mandatory in the passbook/uniform passbook where the entries are made manually. 

Assistant Director (SB)

This clarification may please be brought to the notice of all field units including EDBOs.
