INCENTIVE OF Rs.50/- PER PASS PORT DELIVERY TO POSTMAN

NEW DELHI: The TOI campaign on the passport logjam has made the government put reforms on the fast track.

In a special briefing to TOI, Raghavendra Shastry, adviser to external affairs minister S M Krishna, gave details of fresh measures that are expected to address the concerns raised by the people - and reported by this newspaper to help make the new passport application process smoother and transparent.

REVISED CHARGES OF BANK AND ITS IMPACT ON CUSTOMERS

After petrol, the price hike bug has bitten the banks too, with several of them raising their charges in the recent past. "Banks have increased the service charges as the RBI has imposed several conditions on services, such as the daily interest payment and five free ATM transactions.
