Dear Sir/Madam,
INTERNET BANKING
INTRODUCTION OF SIMPLIFIED INB ROLE HOLDING FOR SMALL
BRANCHES
Extant Procedure
At present administration of Internet Banking require following 3 role holders at every
Branch.
i) INB Officer
ii) Rule Authorizer1
iii) Rule Authorizer 2
While only INB Officer is required to administer Retail Internet Banking, all the three role
holders are required to administer Corporate Internet Banking (CINB). Due to this
mandatory requirement of 3 role holders to administer the Corporate Internet Banking,
currently the smaller branches with less than 3 officers are experiencing difficulty in
extending and supporting CINB facility to our corporate customers. Consequently this has
been a major impediment in marketing the CINB facility.
Revised instructions
In order to overcome the above shortcoming and to facilitate small branches to extend CINB
facility to our corporate customers, it has now been decided to implement simplified INB role
holding at small branches with less than 3 officers. The salient features of the revised process
are as under:
1. The revised set up is applicable only to small branches with less than 3 officers.
2. The new simplified branch INB role model shall not be applicable to all other branches
with more than 2 officers. They will continue to function with the present arrangement.
3. The eligible branches shall have only two INB role holders namely INB Maker and INB
Authorizer as against 3 INB role holders namely INB Officer, INB Rule Authorizer1 and
INB Rule Authorizer II required in respect of bigger branches.
4. While INB Maker will be a member of award staff, the INB Authorizer has to be
necessarily a member of supervising staff.
5. INB Maker will carry out the functions of only data input in all the links of the INB branch
interface.
6. All the data input by the INB Maker will have to be mandatorily approved by the INB
Authorizer as per the Maker Checker concept.
7. An eligible branch can have a maximum of two INB Authorizers where as there is no such
restriction in respect of INB Maker role.

8.The eligible branches with less than 3 officers shall apply to the Circle INB Administrator
at Alternate Channel department of LHO in application forms INB-M and INB-A through
their controllers for creation of INB Maker and INB Authorizer respectively for their branch.
These forms can be downloaded from the home page of the Branch INB Interface. The Circle
INB admin will then create the INB Maker and INB Authorizer after configuring the branch
for the new model.
9. Once the branch is configured for the new model and INB Maker and INB Authorizer are
created by the Circle INB Administrator, the existing role holders namely INB Officer and
INB Rule Authorizers if created at the branch will get deactivated automatically.
10. Since the rules set by the Corporate Administrator will have to be subjected to single
authorization only by the INB Authorizer as against double authorization by two Rule
Authorizers in the existing set up, it has been decided to restrict the rule amount to Rs 50 lacs
only.
11. There is no change in the IP address of the branch INB interface. The INB Maker and
INB Authorizer can login to the branch INB interface at the existing IP address.
12 Each role in the new set up will be PF index based to ensure against single
employee/Officer being created as multiple role holders.
13. The Branches should ensure that the branch INB role holders are deactivated in the
system as soon as they are transferred, retired, suspended, dismissed etc. For this purpose the
branches should write to the Alternate Channel department at LHO through their controllers.
14 Branches to create standby INB Maker and INB Authorizer role holders for
uninterrupted branch INB administration.
15. In view of login credentials of INB Maker and INB Authorizer being PF index based and
employee / official specific as against branch based and generic login credential of INB
officer at present, the maintenance of INB Branch Interface Access Register (IBBIA
register) has been dispensed with in respect of the branches which are eligible for
implementation of simplified INB role holding architecture.
16. The controllers of the branches to ensure that all the branches with less than 3 officers
under their control are covered under the new set up immediately.
17. The status of the eligible branches shall be reviewed on a yearly basis by the respective
controllers and it is their responsibility to initiate steps immediately to revert back the branch
to the 3 branch INB role holder architecture once the strength of the officers in the branch
increases to more than 2.
18. The details of the duties of INB Maker and INB Authorizer roles can be downloaded
from the home page of the Branch INB interface.
Rationale: To eliminate difficulties faced by small branches in extending CINB and to
facilitate its penetration among our corporate clientele.
