Management of funds under New Pension Scheme

  

The investment of pension funds of Government employees, who are covered as subscribers to the New Pension System (NPS), was hitherto being made through a pooling arrangement whereby the funds of such employees were credited to a pool account (pending reconciliation of subscribers’ contribution details) from which such funds were allocated to pension fund managers for immediate investment in the best interest of the subscribers. These funds of the Government employees are being managed based on the investment Pattern prescribed by the Government.

Problem with Sanchay post 6.6.1

(Q) Transactions in BPL accounts cannot be done in sb form no 1309 i.e sb deposit?

Solution: Use the form number 1310 ECS-Debits and Credits

(Q) While accepting RD bulk acceptance (i.e for opening new acccount) a error comes?

Solution: Use RD bulk setup (rd form no:1110), Add new accounts to the agent, after alloting the number of account to the agent the number will be correctly displayed for the new account


Note: Correct procedure is not yet all given by SDC Lan, while doing new accounts to the agent, the number of accounts alloted to agent will automatically taken from General account number, thus those account become unallocated and you have to change the run number  from supervisor>>intilisation>>rd a/c , nominee, AT (form no0453). This step has to done for all agents and have to do daily

Revision of interest rates for small savings schemes

No.6-1.2011-NS.II(Pt.)

Ministry of Finance

Department of Economic Affairs

(Budget Division)

New Delhi, the 26th March, 2012

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: Revision of interest rates for small savings schemes.

The undersigned is directed to refer to Ministry of Finance's O.M. of even number dated 11th November, 2011, vide which the various decisions taken by the Government on the recommendations of the Shyamala Gopinath Committee for Comprehensive Review of National Small Savings Fund (NSSF), were communicated to all concerned.

2. One of the decisions of the Government based on the recommendations of the Committee relates to revision of interest rates every financial year, to be notified before 1st April of that year. Accordingly, the rates of interest on various small savings schemes for the financial year 2012-13 effective from 1.4.2012, on the basis of the interest compounding/payment built-in the schemes, shall be as under:

Interest rates on small savings schemes may go up by 0.25%

     The government is likely to hike the interest rates on deposit schemes offered by post offices, like savings account, Monthly Income Scheme (MIS), Public Provident Fund (PPF), etc by about 0.25 per cent from April 1.


     A circular on revised interest rate on small savings scheme will be issued by March 28, official sources said, adding that there could be a 0.25 basis points hike in the rates.

     "We are in the process of calculating the rates. The new rates will be applicable from April 1," they added.

Validity of cheque came down to 3 months wef 1st April 2012

Validity Of Cheque/Draft/Pay Orders/Banker’s changed To 3 Months Instead Of 6 Months

 From April 1st 2012 onwards validity of Cheque /Draft/Pay orders/ Banker's Cheque will be three months instead of 6 months.A circular issued by the Reserve Bank of India has asked all banks to implement the new rule from April 1, 2012. It has asked banks to notify holders of such instruments of the change in practice by printing or stamping on the cheque leaves, drafts, pay orders and banker's cheques issued on or after April 1, 2012,

The new rule come into force because that some unscrupulous people were circulating the cheques as cash for close to six months, thereby creating a tradeable instrument which was never intended under the RBI rules.

 Banking circles said the move could lead to some practical problems for individuals, particularly if they were not aware of the new rule that would come into effect next year. “People should not only present their cheque in time, but also ensure that if they are receiving a cheque from a company for a service rendered, the date should be checked,” a banker said.
