Letter from our com. Smt. R. Sudha PM Grade I Mandaveli.

Dear Postmaster cadre friends,

           Various representations are received all over the India, giving precise views of Postmaster cadre officials regarding cadre restructure and 7th CPC proposals. Among them few of those shall be posted in this website to create the awareness. AIAPC sincerely thanks Smt. R. Sudha for giving ample examples to bring the issues of PM Cadre even stronger in future. Representation of Smt. R. Sudha is as follows.....

Sir,

I am R.Sudha, working as Postmaster Grade I, Mandaveli, Chennai 600 004.  I have seen your post in the postmastercadre blogspot regarding fixation of pay on promotion.  Last year itself, based on the said order of Ministry of Finance, myself and many of my friends in PM Grade I cadre have already requested our Divisional heads for grant of one notional increment, but we were denied of the increment with a written reply that you are not eligible for notional increment. But some of my other colleagues (Tirunelveli, coimbatore) have already obtained one notional increment based on the same order. It is felt that only if Ministry of Finance issues a clarification to our Department, the problem will be solved.

India Post needs to apply afresh to Reserve Bank of India for bank licence

NEW DELHI: India Post will have to apply afresh to the Reserve Bank under differential licence guidelines if it wishes to start banking operations. According to sources, aspirants, including the Department of Post, will have to apply once again after guidelines on differential bank licences are issued in the next few months. 

India Post was one among the 25 unsuccessful contenders for new bank licences. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) last month granted licences only to IDFC and Bandhan Financial Services Pvt Ltd. 

The applicants also included state-run IFCI and private sector Anil Ambani group and Aditya Birla group, Bajaj Finance, Muthoot Finance, Religare Enterprises and Shriram Capital. Recently, RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan had said it is committed to freeing entry in banking. 

"We just announced two new commercial bank licences after a rigorous vetting process. We are examining this experience, and after making appropriate changes, will announce a more regular process of giving licences - what has been termed licenses on tap," he had said At present, there are 27 public sector banks and 22 private sector lenders in the country.
