Quick answer...supersedes the 2001 circular.

What changed

...superseded. The earlier 2001 circular on this subject is now superseded.

What it means for you

Private banks now have a standardized minimum set of review items for governance bodies, ensuring consistency across the sector. Boards retain discretion to add more reviews as needed. Compliance requires updating internal schedules and committee agendas by the effective date.

Historical instruction — do not use for current compliance. This is what was required at the time; it no longer reflects current RBI requirements. If no replacement rule is linked above, that only means none is recorded on our register yet — it does not prove no later applicable rule exists. Confirm on the official RBI source below.

What banks were required to do at the time

Who it affects

Private sector banks, Board of Directors, Management Committee, Audit Committee

❓ Common questions

Regulatory timeline

Built from our lineage records — each fact carries its provenance; missing history simply is not shown (never guessed).

What if our bank doesn't have a Management Committee?

In that case, the reviews listed in Annexure II of the circular must be placed directly before the Board of Directors.

Does this circular replace any previous instructions?

Yes, it supersedes the earlier circular DBOD.No.PSBS.BC. 43/16.13.100/2001-01 dated November 1, 2000.

Can our Board add more review items beyond this calendar?

Absolutely. The calendar outlines only the critical minimum; Boards have full discretion to prescribe additional reviews as needed.
