Let the postman turn banker: India Post deserves to get a bank licence

India Post wants to own a bank. This is a great idea. In one stroke, this can ensure that millions more will get access to formal credit, in one of the most under-banked countries of the world. 

The biggest advantage for India Post, among the most enduring institutions set up by the British, is its huge network and customer base. Compared to roughly 1,00,000 commercial and rural bank branches in India, there are 1,55,000 post offices, a majority in rural and semi-urban areas. As a collector of small savings, it has experience in taking deposits — about Rs 6 lakhs crore at last count — but not in lending. A bank licence for only India Post would mean that the network of bank branches would more than double in one stroke.

India Post also fits the bill on other counts: a long track record of integrity and, most important — with one post office for every four villages — a massive presence in rural India, where the RBI wants 25 per cent of all branches to be located. Forget micro-finance companies, even compared to government-owned banks, the postal bank's cost structure, if it assigns some banking duties to postmen, will be lower.

Extension of Last Date for receipt of application for filling up of remaining 31 posts in different categories on deputation basi at CEPT, Mysore.

Should Indian Post get a Banking License? ..Do they need one?

     The decision of Indian Postal Department to seek a Banking license from RBI through the Licensing Scheme meant for private sector has been an object of discussion since the announcement was made. The application is a source of embarassment to RBI which now has the challenge of deciding whether to grant a license to Indian Post or not as a traditional Bank.

     There have been many positive reviews by experts indicating why Indian Post deserves a Banking license. However, I am personally not convinced that it is a good idea for Indian Post to become a “Commercial Bank”. In fact Indian Post has a greater future by simply modernizing its traditional services rather than becoming a Bank. By converting itself into a Bank, India will lose a great digital post service that can be developed by only the department of post and not by any other entity in future.

     Let me present some of my preliminary views in this regard so that E&Y instead of advising the Postal department to convert itself into a Bank can work on how to modernize the postal system into a “Digital Postal System”.

Registered letters can't be returned as "Unclaimed" : Madras high court

CHENNAI: The Madras high court has frowned on mechanical return of registered letters as "unclaimed" by postmen, and said that in case they could not be delivered, proper reasons must be given.

Justice S Tamilvanan, underscoring the importance of a registered post in litigations and other matters, said that when people pay a fee and affix sufficient postal stamp, the postal authorities or postmen must discharge their duties in a responsible manner. The postman should make it clear as to whether the registered letter was served on the addressee or refused by the addressee or no addressee was found in the given address, the judge said.

RBI makes it easier to report fake notes to banks

The next time someone passes on a fake currency note to you without your knowledge, you need not palm it off surreptitiously. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday (28/6/2013) directed banks to accept all fake notes over the counter from customers and pay them back the full amount. In return, banks will get 25% of the amount of the fake note back from the RBI. 

To stop misuse of the system by unscrupulous entities, RBI also directed banks to monitor the patterns and trends of fake note detection and bring them to the notice of the central bank and the police immediately. 

"Detection of counterfeit notes, at banks, should be at the back office or currency chest only. Banknotes when tendered over the counters may be checked for arithmetical accuracy and other deficiencies like whether there are mutilated notes, and appropriate credit passed on to the depositor/account or value in exchange given," the RBI noted.

DRACONIAN RULE OF CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE - A DEMOCLE’S SWORD

DRACONIAN RULE OF CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE 

A DEMOCLE’S SWORD

 (By M.R.MEENAKSHISUNDARAM, Retired Supervisor, SBCO, Chennai GPO)

 PREAMBLE

             Department of Post is a very big organisation with multifarious functions and spread over the entire country. Due to the vast business turnover as well the huge size of the human resources employed in the day to day functioning, there will be some losses to the organisation at times. Any enterprise this size will have some unscrupulous and shady characters amidst the staff. There will be losses due to frauds, theft and burglary, excess payments and compensation to be paid in consumer cases. Even so the loss due to these aspects is negligible compared to the revenue accrued through business. In Nationalised Banks million and millions of money is written off as loss due to bad debts. But in our department not even a single paise is allowed to be written off as the Administration is very keen in recovering the loss from its employees whether the employee is directly responsible or not. In my 39 years of service in this Department, I came across almost all type of cases of recoveries towards pecuniary loss and dealt with them. It is my humble opinion that the bureaucracy usually acts in an inhuman way to recover the loss though they have powers to write off the loss. For instance the Director of Postal Services has power to write off any excess payments in Savings Accounts and there is no monitory limit. In my experience I was able to convince a DPS to accord sanction to write off some minus balances in Savings Accounts as they were pending more than 10 years and the Chief Postmaster was trying to recover the excess payments from the staff who has no part in the transactions. The problem with the present staff is that they don’t want to familiarise with necessary rules of the Branch where they work. In spite of their superior academic qualifications, the present staff’s knowledge in departmental ruling is dismal and so the Administration is able to capitalise on the lack of knowledge and impose punishment of recovery without much difficulty. With current level of shortage of staff in Post Offices and the unwanted decentralisation of Accounting system, there is bound to be a lot of frauds as well as short comings/lapses on the part of the operative staff due to heavy workload. If this state of affairs continues, almost all the staffs have a permanent column in their pay bill under recovery towards Audit Objections. The Rule of recovery is a draconian rule though the rule was introduced with good intentions and the Administration utilises this rule to impose recovery unilaterally to all employees without any sympathy. First of all we have to understand the implication of this rule and then try to tackle it. Here are some aspects of the Rule:
