This
refers to BSD letter No. BSD/SU-61/101/7494/2004 dated
December 9, 2004, forwarding therewith the specimen for
Credit Information Reports and data collection formats
for submission of credit data to Credit Information Bureau,
State Bank of Pakistan.
2.
It has been observed that some of the financial institutions
are either not providing the requisite information or
are providing incorrect data in some of the fields of
the data collection formats. Notably, this information
is used both by banks and financial institutions to assess
the credit worthiness of prospective borrowers, as well
as by the State Bank of Pakistan in its policy formulation.
Hence, the provision of incorrect data or its non submission
carries implications for informed decision-making.
3.
Accordingly, all banks and member financial institutions
of the Credit Information Bureau are advised to ensure
that they furnish complete and correct information for
all fields in the data collection forms within the stipulated
time. The member financial institutions will have to furnish
cogent justification for non submission of information
in any of the fields. Failure to comply with this directive
shall render the banks and other financial institutions
liable for penal action under the relevant legal and regulatory
provision.
