With this, it is ensured that the application and data available in the computers at CDC and DRC are in synchronization with a maximum delay of 15 minutes.

1.2  Communication / link failure could be of the following types:

Due to cut in the cable,
Due to power (including back up like UPS, DG Set) failure, and Any other reason.

1.3      Type of outage / link / communication failure:

The outage as described could be classified under two broad categories
(a) Short duration and
(b) long duration.

Services to be provided to Customers during outage / link / communication failure:

(1) Short duration:
For short duration of link failure, bank shall not offer any type of “Off Line” services. An “Off Line” service is defined as the service that will not get posted on real time basis in the Bank’s database. However, the branches at their discretion and on merits of the case may offer banking services to its customers .based on earlier day balance available on the Gateway PC.

(2) Long duration:

(a) Branch specific link failure:

In case Bank has another branch (say B) with CBS, in the same city, the affected branch (say A) shall direct its customers to branch (B). The branch staff of branch (A) shall also be advised to work from branch (B), by login with their user ID, password and branch code just like they login from their own branch. In other words, the URL, Branch Code, Tellers of branch (A) shall work from a different premises. They shall complete all incomplete work from the alternate premises.
All transactions (excluding cash) shall be posted by the staff of branch (A) for its customers, using the premises of branch (B). All authorizations, supervisory override etc, shall be performed by supervisory staff of branch (A).
Cash transactions of the branch (A) shall neither be posted nor authorized in the system by the tellers of branch (A).

All CASH transactions (payment as well as receipt) of the branch (A) will be posted and authorized only by the users of branch (B). This is because, all cash transactions will update the cash drawer of branch (B) only.

The conduct of business as mentioned above shall be subject to approval and changes from time to time by the Working Committee set up by the Bank.

(b) City specific link failure:

In the event of link failure in the entire city, Bank shall not offer any type of “Off Line” services. However, the concerned Branch Managers may take their own decisions, based on business risk assessment.
