Dear Sir/Madam,

It may be noted that this Master Circular consolidates all the instructions/guidelines/notifications contained in the circulars listed in the Appendix in so far as they relate to guidelines for issue of CP. This Master Circular has been placed on RBI website at www.mastercirculars.rbi.org.in.
