Chapter I
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Article 1.- The State Bank’s transaction office and branches in the provinces and centrally-run cities shall have to organize the exchange of payment bills (PBs) issued by the State Bank of Vietnam, which have expired.
Agencies, organizations and individuals (called customers for short) possessing PBs issued by the State Bank of Vietnam, which have expired for not more than 3 years (except for the case specified in Article 7 of this Regulation) shall be entitled to the exchange thereof.
Article 2.- The expiry duration of a PB shall be counted from its maturity (printed on the frontside of the PB) till the date the customer submits the expired PB (or an application) to the State Bank’s transaction office or provincial/municipal branch.
Where the maturity date of a PB coincides with a holiday, New Year day or weekend, the State Bank’s transaction office, provincial/municipal branch, credit institution or State Treasury shall be allowed to exchange such bill on the following working day without collecting the expiry fee from the customer.
Article 3.- For the PBs left in stock by the end of their maturity dates and the PBs received under the provisions of Article 2 of this Regulation (the data must be reported and reflected on the accounting books of the concerned units), the credit institutions and State Treasury shall, within 15 days after the bills’ maturity, be entitled to remit them free of charge to the State Bank’s transaction office or provincial/municipal branches where the concerned units open their bank accounts.
Chapter II
PROCEDURES FOR THE EXCHANGE OF EXPIRED PAYMENT BILLS
Article 4.- When receiving a customer’s expired PB for exchange, the State Bank’s transaction office or provincial/municipal branch shall have to check and determine whether the PB has been issued by the Vietnam State Bank or not. Where it is unable to determine whether the PB has been issued by the Vietnam State Bank or not, it must transfer the object to the Issue-Storage-Fund Department (the Vietnam State Bank) for expertise and conclusion according to the procedures like for the handling of money suspected to be fake under current provisions of law.
Article 5.- For PBs which have been expired for not more than 6 months:
The State Bank’s transaction office and provincial/municipal branches shall have to receive and check them, and if determining that such PBs have been issued by the State Bank of Vietnam, they shall be exchanged for customers without asking for any procedures or applications.
Article 6.- For PBs which have been expired for over 6 months to 3 years:
1. Customers shall have to make applications for the exchange of expired PBs and send them to the State Bank’s transaction office or branches in the concerned provinces or cities.
2. The State Bank’s transaction office or provincial/municipal branches shall receive the customers’ applications (not their PBs yet), make monthly sum-up reports thereon and submit them to the Issue-Storage-Fund Department of the Vietnam State Bank on the 5th of the following month.
3. Within 15 days after receiving the reports of the State Bank’s transaction office or provincial/municipal branches, the Issue-Storage-Fund Department shall make a sum-up and examination (of the PB types, their maturity dates and serial numbers) then balance the capital sources in order to:
a/ Directly handle those PBs which have expired for over 6 months to 1 year;
b/ Propose the State Bank Governor to handle those PBs which have expired for over 1 year to 3 years.
4. The Issue-Storage-Fund Department shall notify the results in writing to the State Bank’s transaction office or provincial/municipal branches so that the latter may use them as basis for effecting the exchange. Within 5 working days after receiving such a notice, the State Bank’s transaction office or provincial/municipal branches shall have to effect the exchange or notify the customers of the reasons for refusal of the exchange.
Article 7.- For PBs which have expired for over 3 years due to force majeure causes: The State Bank’s transaction office and provincial/municipal branches shall receive the customers’ applications and send them (together with their proposals ) to the Issue-Storage-Fund Department.
