technology enabled ‘Instant Bank Account verification’ through penny drop to identify the beneficiary and the Subscriber’s bank account. In order to ensure payment of amount into correct bank account number and rightful beneficiary, CRAs shall be carrying out ‘Instant Bank Account Verification’ through penny drop and the cost of the same shall be borne by the Subscribers. The process of partial withdrawal based on self-declaration is provided at the Annexure II. Central Record Keeping Agencies (CRAs) are accordingly advised to make this feature available in their system at the earliest in the interest of Subscribers.
