b) SBIS may terminate the use of a Correspondent to process any payment on behalf of SBIS. Should SBIS terminate a Correspondent, SBIS may not be able to process a payment instruction on your behalf. You acknowledge and agree that should this occur SBIS shall not be held liable for any cost, loss or liability incurred by you or the beneficiary because of SBIS not being able to process your payments due to SBIS terminating a Correspondent. You also agree and acknowledge that SBIS shall not be liable for any cost, loss or liability incurred by you and/or your beneficiary as a result of any delay in, or failure of processing your payment instructions by a Correspondent.
c) SBIS may receive a commission from, or enter commission/revenue sharing arrangements with a Correspondent, the amount of which will depend on various factors.
Correspondent Commissions, Fees or Other Charges
a) A Correspondent may charge commissions, fees or other charges in making payments to the beneficiary account. Unless other arrangements are in place with a Correspondent those commissions, fees or charges will normally either be deducted by a Correspondent from the funds paid to the beneficiary’s account or passed on to SBIS.
b) Where the deduction is made, the beneficiary will receive less than the payment amount specified in your instructions.
c) If those commissions, fees or charges are passed on to SBIS, then you will be required to reimburse SBIS for them.
d) At your request SBIS will obtain within ten (10) working days details of the commissions, fees or other charges for specified Correspondent’s used by SBIS. You acknowledge that SBIS’s ability to obtain such details is reliant upon the co-operation of the specified Correspondent.

Delayed Payment
a) The transfer of funds to India will normally take 24-48 hours by the branch of SBI / Correspondent Banks (The Expected Time). If the branch / Correspondent is not the beneficiary's branch / bank, it may take additional time to forward funds to the beneficiary's branch / bank. For other currency remittances, we do not take responsibility for the amount of time taken by the correspondent banks and the total time taken before the beneficiary gets the final credit in their account.
b) The transfer of funds may be delayed past the Expected Time due to circumstances beyond SBIS' control (which include but are not limited to) cut off times for transmissions imposed by a Correspondent Closure of payment window ; technical fault at RITS, APCA, SBIS etc, delays or complications in post or otherwise; delays, errors or omissions in transit or transmission; acts or omissions of a Correspondent or any other third party; or delays and complications in overseas banking systems. To the maximum extent permissible by law, SBIS and its employees and agents accept no responsibility and will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from delays that arise as a result of the circumstances specified above or any act or thing done or omitted to be done by SBIS while acting in good faith on the Applicant's instructions.
c) Where the funds are not available for payment to the beneficiary by the Expected Time, the Applicant may request that SBIS generate, on behalf of the Applicant, an enquiry into the delay ('the Enquiry'). Where the delay is not caused by SBIS, the Applicant will indemnify SBIS for all or any costs or expenses incurred by SBIS as a result of generating, carrying out and completing the Enquiry including, without limitation, legal costs on a solicitor and client basis.
d) SBIS may contact you to confirm your instructions or your identity and may ask you to undertake further actions (such as an identification check). Without limitation to clause 6, if SBIS is unable to confirm your instructions or your identity to its satisfaction, then SBIS may decide in its absolute discretion to refund, delay, block or refuse to make payments and in doing so will not be held liable to you for any costs, losses or damages caused or suffered as a result.
e) In case of transaction not being completed, the reverse charges applicable for cancellation and refund of transactions shall not be set off against any promotion campaign offerings and hence will be deductible by SBIS as a claim against the customer.
Enquiries and Stopping or cancelling a payment
a) In some limited circumstances SBIS may be able to stop or cancel a transfer of funds.
b) You acknowledge that is SBIS agrees to stop or cancel a payment, SBIS will not return the funds to you until they are received by SBIS from the Correspondent.
c) SBIS fee for requesting stopping or cancelling of a payment is set out in the table in Section 3 above.
d) Where you request SBIS to stop or cancel a payment or transfer of funds, SBIS will charge you fees in accordance with clause above and the following terms and conditions. The fees are applicable regardless of whether SBIS is successful in stopping or cancelling the payment. You acknowledge that any Correspondent may also charge a fee and that this will be deducted from the returned funds. You agree to indemnify SBIS for any loss that occurs because of SBIS agreeing to stop or cancel a payment, which includes any loss because of any foreign exchange movement between and including the date of the original conversion of your funds and the date you are notified by SBIS of the return of the payment. SBIS will convert the value of the returned payment into Australian dollars using SBIS’s applicable prevailing rate on the day you are notified by SBIS of the return of the payment or on the day you supply the relevant bank details to affect the credit, whichever is later.
e) You agree to indemnify SBIS for any loss, cost, expense or other liability (including any charges) sustained or incurred by SBIS because of SBIS acting in good faith on any instructions provided; both written and verbal. except to the extent that the loss or damage is caused by our act or omission in breach of this Agreement or by our (or our officers, employees, contractors or agents') negligence, fraud or wilful default. ...
f) You acknowledge that SBIS will rely on identification information when provided with instructions either verbally or in writing. You also acknowledge that making identification information available to other people increases the risk of fraud.
Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) and Sanctions
You agree that SBIS may delay, block or refuse to process any transaction without incurring any liability and without informing you of the reasons, if SBIS suspects the transaction:
a) may breach any laws or regulations in Australia or in any other country
b) involves any person (natural, corporate or governmental) that it itself sanctioned or is connected, directly or indirectly, to any person that is sanctioned under economic and trade sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union or any country; or

You declare and undertake to SBIS that the processing of any transaction by SBIS in accordance with your instructions will not breach any laws or regulations in Australia or any other country.
Return of the Payment by the Correspondent
a) In the event that a payment cannot be applied by a Correspondent, the Correspondent will either request additional information or return the payment to SBIS, less any fees. Where additional information is requested, SBIS will attempt to contact you via mail or phone to obtain the required information.
b) Where the payment is returned SBIS will credit your account with the Australian dollar equivalent of the amount received (less SBIS and/or the Correspondent’s charges), at SBIS’ prevailing buying rate of exchange for the currency on the date that SBIS credit your account. Please note that this rate of exchange is likely to be different from the rates which applied when you requested your payment. This may mean the credit to your account is of greater or lesser value than the original transaction.
Exchange Rate
Where you purchase an International Money Transfer in a currency other than Australian dollars, the exchange rate that applies to the purchase of the currency is either the SBIS published exchange rate on [sbissyd.com.au/forex_rates.html] or a market based rate of exchange, depending on the value of the transaction or the method you use to request the International Money Transfer, at the time your request is submitted or accepted by SBIS.
