Hey! Here’s what control returns mean in the banking industry:
What are Control Returns in Banking?
Control returns are summary reports sent by individual bank branches to the bank’s Head Office (HO) or Central Office.
These returns consolidate and reconcile the branch’s financial transactions, positions, and various operational data over a period (daily, weekly, monthly).
They help the HO to monitor, control, and oversee the branch’s performance, compliance, and accuracy of accounts.
Control returns typically include details like cash balances, loans outstanding, deposits, advances, interest accrued, etc.
Purpose of Control Returns:
To ensure data integrity and correct posting of transactions.
To track branch performance against targets.
To identify discrepancies or errors early.
To help in consolidation of accounts at the central level.
To maintain regulatory compliance by timely reporting.
Example:
A branch sends a daily cash control return showing total cash-in-hand, cash deposited, withdrawals, and reconciles it with the actual cash balance.
Similarly, a monthly control return may include summary of loans sanctioned, NPA position, interest income, etc.
