Indians still prefer post office schemes

Post office savings schemes, a traditional favourite with Indians, are likely to retain their popularity, despite the launch of various schemes by banks and the government, including the Pradhan Mantri Bima Suraksha and Jeevan Jyoti. However, it is still too early to arrive at any conclusion.

“Post office savings are traditionally used by the masses who cannot get access to banks. It will continue to be popular and flourish with the addition of more technology like those offered by bank,” Kavery Benarjee, secretary, department of posts, told HT.

Going forward, India Post will introduce core banking services across India. The service is currently available only in select post offices.

“The growth in accounts is reflection of the faith and trust that consumers have on us despite banks opening new branches and introducing new schemes,” Banerjee said.

Post office schemes are attractive since only 5% of the corpus is invested in savings account. The remaining 95% is put in monthly income schemes and long-term deposits with higher rate of interest, she said.

Moreover, the new schemes introduced by the government are being extended to post office savings account holders.

Most of the Jan Surkasha schemes are already available at post offices. Post office account holders will also be able to subscribe to the Atal Pension Yojana (APY) in the next 4-5 days without any overdraft facility, similar to the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna.

“We are not mandated to give overdraft facility,” Banerjee said.

Account holders will be given ATM cards, besides availing money-transfer facility and anywhere anytime banking.

Banerjee is also confident that account holders will be able to encash a certificate anywhere in India within 15-20 minutes.

Removal of Grade Pay System in 7th CPC – Detailed Report

Will the removal of Grade Pay System by the 7th Pay Commission help Central Government employees? – This is the topic of this article.

“Unconfirmed reports say that the 7th Pay Commission is very likely to recommend the abolishing of the Grade Pay System introduced by the 6th Pay Commission.”

Not only the Government, but the Central Government employees too are hoping and wishing that the 7th Pay Commission functions independently, free from interventions. The report of the previous Pay Commissions will guide for determining the revision of pay scale and pay bands, allowances, retirement benefits and other facilities/benefits of more than 50 lakh employees. The Pay Commission also considers the recommendations, suggestions and inputs gathered from employees all over the country and presented as memorandums by federations like the NC JCM and the Confederation.

All is Well today in our Writ Petition No. CW 6895/2015

Proceedings held today in brief

Today’s proceeding remains successful for us. Our advocate narrated the full facts and circumstances of our case and the Hon’ble Justice shows agreement. The Asstt Solicitor General of India who stood as the advocate of the respondents has admitted the genuine ground of our Writ Petition with the documents which we submitted in support of our rejoinder against the reply of the respondents. However, he informs the Hon’ble High Court that he doesn’t have any knowledge about the genuineness of the documents submitted by us and prays before the Hon’ble Court to allow him one more opportunity to come up with one Departmental Officer. His prayer has been granted with direction to list the case after Diwali for issue of appropriate Order.

!! All is well !!

Pay Commissions to submit report soon

Seventh Pay Commission is ready with its recommendations on revising emoluments for nearly 48 lakh central government employees and 55 lakh pensioners, and will soon submit report to the finance ministry. 

Earlier in August, the government had extended Commission's term by another four months till December 31 to give recommendations. 

"The Commission is ready with recommendations and the report will be submitted soon," according to sources. 

The Commission, whose recommendations may also have a bearing on the salaries of the state government staff, was given more time by the Union Cabinet just a day before its original 18-month term was coming to an end. 

Headed by Justice AK Mathur, the Commission was appointed in February 2014 and its recommendations are scheduled to take effect from January 1, 2016.

Happy Dusshera and Subha Vijaya Dashami to all my dear Postmasters and viewers
