financial transactions on the basis of SLA's (Service Level Agreement).

The Anti-Money Laundering (AML) team was responsible for the in depth

banks. Then on the basis of set standards and rules as described by the

Business Area for detecting laundering of money in any form (Dollars,

the detected accounts in co-ordination with the law and order agencies.

The Check processing team was responsible for the processing of payroll

cheques for the employees of High Net worth corporate clients. It involved

analysis of the payment documents sent by client to the offshore team, to

detect any discrepancy in the amounts to be disbursed on the basis of

mismatches between the Debits and Credits for the amount to be debited from
