DoP
to seek Cabinet nod for 240 cr to set up Post Bank
Written By Admin on April 13, 2015 | Monday,
April 13, 2015
v The Department of Posts (DoP) will soon seek Cabinet approval for Rs 240
crore for setting up Post Bank of India.
v The DoP has plans to set up Post Bank of India under payments bank
licence. The Reserve Bank of India has already issued licensing norms for niche
banks -- payments banks and small banks.
v The DoP, which has applied for a payments bank licence, has a hybrid
model in mind to operate Post Bank of India. Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram
Rajan yesterday had said while the banking sector is set to undergo changes in
the next few years, "we are going to possibly have postal bank".
v "The Department is in the process of seeking approval for about Rs
240 crore from Expenditure Finance Committee which will then need nod from
Cabinet," an official source told PTI.
v As per RBI guidelines, payments banks would offer a limited range of
products such as demand deposits and remittances. They will not be allowed to
undertake lending activities and will be initially be restricted to holding a
maximum balance of Rs 1 lakh per individual customer.
v They will be allowed to issue ATM or debit cards as also other prepaid
payment instruments, but not credit cards.
v According to a source, Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad
has approved hybrid model suggested by Ernst & Young which prepared
detailed project report on Post Bank of India (PBI).
v "E&Y has come out with three models but suggested preference to
a hybrid model. Under which about 600 branches will directly operated by PBI
staff in post office premises and transactions in other parts of the country
will be supported by India post staff," the official said.
v Post Bank of India is proposed to have its own employees and IT
infrastructure. The transaction handled by India Post , employees will be
entered in to computer server of PBI.
v The Department expects revenue of over Rs 550 crore from PBI in first 5
years.
v "India Post will earn from every transaction it will carry out for
PBI and rents that it will get from its branches. India Post financial services
like saving account, postal life insurance will continue as it is," the
official said.
v The DoP will evaluate its five year performance as payments bank and then
it will take call of setting up full fledged banking service.
RESOLUTIONS PASSED IN ALL INDIA CONFERENCE HELD FROM DATE
18.04.2015 TO 19.04.2015 AT SHEGAON (MAHARASTHRA CIRCLE)
Resolution No. 01: SBCO staff is doing post audit work. Therefore SBCO staff, by
identifying them as subsidiary offender for the SB frauds is injustice and they
will not be held responsible for amount defrauded by counter staff or SAS/MPKBY
agent and no recovery should be made from SBCO staff.
Resolution No. 02: As the SBCO staff is working under SSPOs/Postmasters they are
forced not to raise objections or forced to admit genuine objections. Therefore
administrative control i. e. writing of APAR of SBCO staff should be
transferred to AO ICO (SB) as earlier.
Resolution No. 03: Group
of HOs - Cluster: This
problem had already been taken with Directorate in two occasions vide Union
letter NO: CHQ/14-SBCO-Transfer cluster/AISBCEU/2014 Dated 30.09.2014
& 28.12.2014. Since, the Department is denied to consider the welfare
matter of transfer policy and reiterated
their earlier stand vide D.G. Posts letter No. 141-141/2013-SPB II dated
31.01.2014 & No. 141-229/2014-SPB II dated
28.01.2015 that
“the rotational transfer of the staff of the
Savings Bank Control Organization may be made within the cluster of Divisions
and / or Head Post Offices only, which fall in the same Postal Division or/ and
a neighboring Postal Division and are located in the same Region. It is
presumed that the Circles/Regions have already worked out the clusters of HPOs
for this purpose”.
Due to this above order, all Circles have
issued orders by clubbing both Divisions as one cluster with a distance of 100
KMs to 200 KMs and now they are ready to issue Rotational transfer during this
year of 2015. If the new policy will be
implemented this year, many of our staff and their family members including
children will suffer. The implementation of above clarifications dated
28.01.2015 must be deferred until the disposal of the case, till such time as
per the existing policy issued in the year of March-2000 may be followed.
Resolution No. 04: In Connection with CBS implementation in all Circles, all vacant
post of PA (SBCO) should be filled immediately and also all the PAs, SBCO
deputed to CPC may be recalled to the parent Unit of SBCO to manage the
shortage of staff in all the SBCO branches.
Resolution No. 05: Cadre restructuring of SBCO cadre should be taken on priority.
Representative of this union should be called for meeting of cadre
restructuring of SBCO.
Resolution No. 06: SB Control procedure should be updated on par with CBS
implementation and the new “Roll of SBCO procedure” should be defined
immediately.
Resolution No. 07: SBCO staff should be treated as organized account cadre staff
and grade pay of organized account cadre should be granted to SBCO staff. In CBS also, our role is defined as
audit staff. This proposal is high lightened in the 7th CPC
Memorandum submitted by our Union and again formal meeting was attended with
Chairman, 7th CPC at Mumbai.
Resolution No. 08: All vacant supervisory posts of LSG, HSG II and HSG I should be
filled on seniority basis from PA (SBCO) cadre as most of the PA (SBCO) are
drawing HSG I (MACP III) grade pay.
Resolution No. 09: Finacle software problems must be rectified and the slow process
of this software must be updated with latest version of Finacle software.
Resolution No. 10: All the SBCO staff is to be given Finacle software training for
a week to discharge their auditing duties properly.
Resolution No. 11: The implementation of 7th
CPC must be given w.e.f. 01.01.2014 with 50% DA merger.
Resolution No. 12: In the revised SBCO procedure after CBS, the preservation of
records/vouchers period must be reduced for which no accommodation is provided
by the Divisional Head to keep the records/vouchers.
Resolution No. 13: Discontinuance of V2 software in all Circles: Since almost this
software was withdrawn in 15 Circles and now it is under use only in eight
Circles. Uniform stand has to be taken in this regard.
