Dearness Allowance from January 2013 - 6th CPC Recommendations on merger of 50% Dearness Allowance...

"No any recommendation in 6th CPC Report on merger of 50% Dearness allowance with basic pay at any stage"...

Dearness Allowance from January 2013 - 6CPC Recommendation

As of now nobody knows the correct reason why the government is delaying the approval of DA hike from January 2013. Actually the delay in announcing the dearness allowance helps the people speculate more about the Governments Plan about whether the 50% DA will be merged or not. 

As per the 6CPC recommendation accepted by the government, the Dearness Allowance supposed to be enhanced from 1st January of every year has to be paid with salary of month of March. The 6 CPC was very much clear about two things; first one is the formula for calculating the quantum of DA to be paid to central government employees and its frequency. Second one is on Merger of 50% Dearness allowance with Basic pay by converting it as dearness Pay

Sixth Pay Commission recommendation on Merger of 50% Dearness Allowance and sanctioning of DA to central government employees

Postal department launches service to transfer money via cellphone

ALLAHABAD: Sending and receiving a money order will be easier now than ever as India Post introduces money order facility through mobile phones. Under the Mobile Money Transfer Service (MMTS) minimum amount of Rs. 1,000 and maximum of Rs. 10,000 can be sent in a single transaction, whereas there is no limit to the maximum number of transactions made in a day.

Inaugurating the service at Allahabad Kutchery Head Post Office, Krishna Kumar Yadav director Postal Services Allahabad region said Mobile Money Transfer is a financial service is a facility for remittance and receiving of money at selected post offices. The director launched the service by sending money from Allahabad Kutchery Head Post Office to Pratapgarh Head Post Office.

Yadav said rates of the service have been fixed low, keeping in mind needs of customers. A person sending money through MMTS will be charged Rs 45 for sending money in the range of Rs 1,000-Rs 1,500, Rs 79 for an amount between Rs 1,501 and Rs 5,000 and Rs 112 for money transfer for an amount from Rs 5,001 to Rs 10,000.

In the pilot phase this service has been started in 136 post offices of Uttar Pradesh, whereas 19 offices of Allahabad Region have been covered in this phase. It will be the priority of the department to cover offices in rural and remote areas under the service. In Allahabad, the service has been started in Bamaila, Atraura and Aura branch post offices, Mau Aima Sub Office and Allahabad Kutchery Head Post Office.

Yadav added that the Department of Post had partnered with state-run BSNL to launch the mobile money transfer service. BSNL will handle the technology backend for the department and provide connectivity.

Under Mobile Money Transfer Service, customers will have the facility to send money anywhere in the country. Specially designed mobile handsets with preinstalled mobile money transfer application have been provided to the offices selected to carry out this service.

DBT funds in post offices soon

Racing against time to make the ambitious Direct Benefits Transfer (DBT) visibly effective before the 2014 general elections, the government will bring money transaction through post offices under the DBT ambit. This desperate move is aimed as a remedy to banks opening accounts of DBT beneficiaries at snail’s pace.

Ahead of the Prime Minister’s review meeting with key ministers, the government announced that post offices will also be included from October 1 while three pension schemes — for old age persons, widows and the disabled — would now be covered under DBT from July 1. The list would also include districts where the beneficiaries’ biometrics were collected under the National Population Register (NPR). They include Odisha, West Bengal, UP, Uttarakhand, Bihar and Chhattisgarh.

Several complaints had poured in after the scheme was launched from January 1 about the problems of the banks to open zero-balance accounts of the beneficiaries, especially in rural areas.

The government also targets to expand the DBT to cover 78 more districts in the next phase of the DBT rollout which will begin from July 1.

To plug the loopholes, PM’s focus will be on digitisation of databases and opening of more bank accounts. “There will be a thrust on digitisation of data of beneficiaries in all districts, irrespective of the rollout of DBT as this is a critical activity which need not wait and can be done in parallel,” said a press release.

“The department of financial services will be asked to ensure coverage of all beneficiaries with bank accounts. It will ensure that all Micro-ATMs that are procured will have specifications such that they are inter-operable and are Aadhaar enabled,” the release added.

Coming soon: ATMs, Internet banking at post offices

There is a good news for around 200 million post office saving bank (POSB) account holders. 

The Department of Posts (DOP) has launched a project to provide account holders with ATM facility. Under the project, all post offices throughout the country will be connected through an IT network.

Besides, account holders will also be able to avail Internet banking facilities.

“We will connect the network of 1.55 lakh post offices that includes 1.2 lakh in rural areas,” said Kavery Banerjee, member, technology, postal services board. “Our central data centre is ready and vendors are developing customised banking service solutions.”

POSB operates small savings schemes on behalf of the ministry of finance and has over 260 million account holders, out of which about 200 million are saving and recurring deposit account holders. Total outstanding balance under all accounts in the POSB stood at around Rs.3,96,664 crore as on March 2012.

At present, an account holder has to go to a post office during office hours to withdraw money. Moreover, there is no facility of electronic transfer of money to a third-party account.

“Once customers are provided with the ATM facility, they will be able to withdraw money from any ATM, including that provided by banks,” said Banerjee.

Customers will, however, have to wait for more than a year to avail the ATM facility. POSB will start implementing core banking solution in limited number of post offices by the end of this year. Next year, it will be implemented in large number of post offices once the system is perfect.

For rural post offices, the department will provide handheld devices that will enable one to perform all banking operations.
