Sub: BEF statement - Submission under XBRL

Attention of Authorised Dealer Category - I (AD Category - I) banks is invited to A.P (DIR Series) Circular No.106 dated June 19, 2003 and A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No.09 dated August 18, 2003, in terms of which AD Category - I banks were required to submit BEF statement, to respective regional offices of Reserve Bank of India, in the prescribed format, on half yearly basis.

2. It has been decided to move from manual reporting of above mentioned statement to eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) system from half year ended June 2015. With effect from the half year ending June 2015, BEF submission would be online and Bank-wise instead of the present system of branch-wise submission, to the respective Regional Offices of the RBI.
