During the audit, the following issues were observed: The bank provides "Kisan Credit Card" loans to farmers to meet their short-term credit needs for crop cultivation. One such loan, with an outstanding balance of 20 lakh at the year end, had no transactions for the past 90 days. The loan was granted for paddy cultivation, which typically takes 3-4 months from sowing to harvest. The branch has classified the loan as a "Standard Asset". It was also noted that the account of a borrower with a cash credit limit of 50 lakh, which was taken over from another bank, was sanctioned by the branch manager instead of the immediate higher authority, as required in bank's “Manual of Delegation of Powers". CA Misha also served as the statutory auditor for a multiplex cinema.
