SUPERVISORY FEE OF RURAL BANKS
Sec. 22 of Republic Act No. 7353 requires rural banks to contribute to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) an annual fee (supervisory fee) to help defray the cost of maintaining the appropriate supervising Department within the Bangko Sentral in an amount to be determined by the Monetary Board but in no case to exceed 1/40 of 1% of its average total assets during the preceding year.
Section 28, R.A. No. 7653, requires banks to pay to the BSP within the first thirty (30) days of each year, an annual fee (supervisory fee) in an amount equal to the percentage as may be prescribed by the Monetary Board of its average total assets during the preceding year.
The Monetary Board in its Resolution No. 48 dated January 7, 2000, prescribes the mode of computing the annual banking/supervision fee as follows:
x x x The Board decided that annual banking/supervision fees of rural banks beginning fiscal year 1999 be computed using a measurement of average total assets based on the banks’ balance sheets as of month-end for the months of March, June, September and December and dividing by 4 the sum of end-of month balances x x x.
