Postal savings schemes to have passbooks

RATE REVISION HASN’T AFFECTED NUMBER OF DEPOSITORS, SAYS POSTMASTER GENERAL

From July 1, customers investing in Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) and National Savings Certificates (NSC) will not be issued printed certificates. They will instead get them as passbooks.

Earlier, the Department of Posts planned to shift to issue the certificates in electronic mode.

However, officials said that as the efforts to issue e-certificates did not materialise, it was decided to provide KVP and NSC in the form of passbooks.

At present, about 25,000 certificates of KVP and NSC are being sold under various denominations every month in the Chennai city region. While the KVP is available from Rs.1,000 to Rs.50,000, the denomination for NSC starts at Rs.100 and is restricted to Rs.10,000.

"In coming days, the role of all employees, including Grameen Dak Sevaks, will be very significant, Postman has a vital emotional connect and is almost part of every family in villages- Telecom and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today said in a letter to all postal employees

Government is firming up plans to set up 650 branches of India Post Payments Bank at all major district headquarters by September 2017, Telecom and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today said in a letter to all postal employees.

"The India Post Payments Bank shall be set up with an investment of Rs 800 crore. The plan is to roll out 650 branches at all major district headquarters so that it may leverage the extensive outreach of the Department of Posts," Prasad said in the letter.

The Cabinet on June 2 cleared the proposal to set up India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) with a corpus of Rs 800 crore and a plan for 650 branches operational by September 2017. It will be scaled up further to cover the entire country by the end of 2018-19.

DoP is gearing up to launch the payments bank with a workforce of 3.5 lakh.

Prasad, in his letter, reached out to all postal employees for support.

"I earnestly appeal to all employees of the department and the Grameen Dak Sevaks to take pride and ownership in establishing the India Post Payments Bank which truly serves the cause of Antyodaya - serving the last man standing," he said.

He reasoned that the postman has a vital emotional connect and is almost part of every family in villages.

IN MANY CIRCLES PM Association(AIAPC) TURNS AS POSTAL SUPERVISORS Association - 5 YEARS UNTOLD HISTORY !!!

DEAR POSTMASTERS,

                We are responsible to explain the 5 years history of Path led in Postmaster cadre union and quitting the same and joining into  Postal Supervisory association.

Origin of Postmaster Cadre Union

                During the period of 2011, for the distinct cadre of Postmaster cadre, in Tamilnadu  one meeting was organised in Madurai and unanimously decided to get a separate union for Postmaster cadre. That meeting was initiated by Shri.Ramasubramanian and Shri.K.Kalimuthu. Now it is effectively maintained by Shri.R.Rajendran as a circle co-ordinator of PM cadre.

                In the same time at second vast circle Maharashtra also was initiated the same and set up a AIAPC during 2011.

                AIAPC brought many issues to the directorate from 2011 to till now under various leadership and conquered some  legitimate rights to postmaster cadre. We are still having concern on those. But present some achievements are brought by the hidden face and not by the leadership. We are always thankful to the person behind those.

                AIAPC recognition proposal was submitted to the directorate during 2012 and the same was resubmitted again 2013 october.

                Even after 3 years, no positive sign was shown from  the directorate regarding the recognition and all the postmasters are directed from even the directorate to join into the postal supervisory association for separate redressal forum.

               In  this connection, because of undue delay, court case was filed at Jodhpur court of law during 2015 and after October 2015 there is not even single hearing was taken for our case in the past 7 months. The entire nation is totally fed up because of the stretched delay.

Why All India Association of  Postmaster Cadre (AIAPC) adoption was dropped at Tamilnadu?

HISTORY IS GOING TO BE REWRITTEN AT TAMILNADU CIRCLE

Dear Postmasters of Tamilnadu Circle,

                 Because of the following reasons Postmasters of Tamilnadu Circle have been joined in the Postal Supervisors Association and started to function.

                1. Divisional/Regional level threats faced by the Postmaster cadre officials by Rule 14/16 punishments for petty issues, RT clashes, withhelding promotions by circle level.

                2. Delay in legal proceedings fo the AIAPC recognition at the Jodhpur court of Law.
