India Post banking system roll-out moves to user acceptance

Infosys is embarking on training India Post staff in how to use its Finacle banking system after completing the roll-out of the system at 155,000 post offices in India.

India Post is moving to the user acceptance phase of a project that began in August 2012, after Infosys won the contract to supply a core banking system to India Post.

C. N. Raghu, head of Infosys in India, said that, with 40% of the Indian population having no bank account, India Post with 155,000 branches is the ideal organization to get rural people into the banking system.
India Post has one branch per 8,000 people and 21km2.“We have finished our part of the project and will start user acceptance,” sad Raghu. “When we have finished that, the government standards agency will look at it and then it’s up to India Post to start using it.”

Rs 752 crore lying unclaimed with postal department

A huge balance of Rs 752.44 crore is lying unclaimed in different post offices in the country. The postal authorities have not taken any step to return the money to the legitimate claimants.


In response to an RTI query by activist Subhash Agrawal, the postal department said that the money is lying unclaimed in 2.49 crore accounts. The central information commisison, however, has now directed the postal authorities to reveal 100 largest amounts lying unclaimed out of the total 2 crore accounts. 

The money can be withdrawn from these accounts through fraud and may not reach the natural claimant, said the activist. The information about such accounts will ensure transparency.
