VARIOUS OBSTACLES OF POSTMASTER CADRE- DISCUSSION FORUM

DEAR POSTMASTER,

A new word is like a fresh seed sown on the ground of the discussion.

Any work of architecture that has with it some discussion, some polemic, I think is good. It shows that people are interested, people are involved

Anyone who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory.

Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; an argument an exchange of ignorance. 

Discussion is just a tool. You have to aim; the final goal must be a decision. 

THIS IS OUR DISCUSSION TIME :

POINT OF DISCUSSION   #01 :

WHEN I ASKED SOME OF MY POSTMASTER FRIENDS THAT,” WHY YOU OPTED THE POSTMASTER       CADRE WHEN THE HSG II/HSG I ARE TIMELY GIVEN ADHOC PROMOTION, DUE RESPECT IN THE POSITION AND CAN BE ACT AS INDIVIDUAL UNIT COMING DIRECT CONTROL  OF THE DIVISIONAL HEAD INSTEAD OF THE ASPs INCHARGE OF SUB DIVISION. “

 VARIOUS TYPES OF ANSWERS I RECEIVED ARE SUMMERISED HEREIN BELOW:

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. As a result, the interest outflow of banks has increased and added to the cash flow. This has to be recovered," says K Unnikrishnan, deputy chief executive, Indian Banks' Association.

Banks have also introduced fees for services which were available for free till now. For instance, ICICI Bank had allowed inter-bank mobile payments for free, but will now charge Rs 5 per transaction. Here are some services that will be more costly.
