Gratification

Gratification is a broad term for giving, which includes giving money, goods, rebates (discounts), commissions, interest-free loans, travel tickets, accommodation facilities, tours, free medical treatment, and other facilities. Such gratification can be received either domestically or abroad and can be given using electronic means or without electronic means.

Every Bank employee is prohibited from giving and/or receiving any form of gratification from other parties as a form of compensation related to their work or position, because any gratification given to civil servants or state officials is considered bribery if related to their position and contrary to their obligations or duties.

If there is any giving/receiving/refusal, the Bank employee must make a report and declaration on the gratification media provided by the Bank and acknowledged by their direct supervisor. The deadline for reporting gratification is no later than 5 (five) working days from the date the gratification is given, and specifically for gratification received, after being declared, it must be submitted to the Bank for Management to decide its disposition.

If there is giving/receiving of facilities, gifts, and sponsorships either within or from state officials that cannot be avoided (for example due to culture / holidays / graduation / or similar events), an exception can be made with a nominal limit of up to IDR 1,000,000 per giver in each event.
