Each single coupon given in or forwarded must have legibly written on the back, the number of the deposit-book and the depositor's name, if not, a list of the sorts and numbers of the coupons as well as the number of the deposit-book will have to be given.
For receiving the coupons the Post Office Savings Bank charges a commission of 1 kreutzer the coupon, which will be deducted from what it produces.
The sending-back of the deposit-book will be post free.
It is moreover allowable when a depositor has to receive at a post office not dependent on the Treasury a sum by order,—whether it be an ordinary post office order, or a repayment—or transfer post-office order, or finally by a pay-order in the cheque service of the Post Office Savings Bank, not to pay the same in cash, but have it immediately entered in the deposit-book.
4.—Acknowledgments of Receipts.
Beyond the entry which the Post Office Service makes in the deposit-book, the depositors receive, and so, relatively, payers, upon each deposit an acknowledgment of receipt from the Post Office Savings Bank at Vienna, forwarded every time to their address or to poste restante as they desire. Should this acknowledgment of receipt not have reached a depositor within 14 days, or should it contain some errors with reference to the sum or name or in some other way be erroneous, the depositor has to find in his deposit-book, «Complaint», and to separate the paper, fill it in conformity with the case, and to forward it in an envelope, No 42o, which he will receive gratis at any post office.
Other blank forms of complaint are gratuitously supplied at every post-office.
For entries of interest and coupon the Post Office Savings Bank does not give receipts.
5.—Replacement of Lost, Spoiled or Filled in Deposit-books.
Should a deposit-book be lost, the loser must notify the fact to the Post Office Savings Bank at Vienna, on a printed form, supplied gratuitously at every Receiving Office, stating the peculiar marks of the lost book as exactly as he can possibly remember them, also the particular circumstances under which the loss took place, as well as his full address, enclosing at the same time 10 kreutzers in postage stamps and the notice of withdrawal book, requesting that a duplicate of the deposit-book lost may be given him. Should the notice-book be also mislaid, this is to be notified on the printed form and the sum of five kreutzers added for a new notice-book.
