Concept of Post Bank of India still wide open; RBI in favour

Here is an article appeared in Firstpost titled Why RBI’s decision on a Post Bank of India is a slap for Finance Ministry

The RBI’s decision on Wednesday to “consider” the application of Department of Posts for a banking license “separately in consultation with the Government of India” is literally a slap in the face for the finance ministry.

Out of the 25 applicants that were in the fray for a new license, the RBI granted “in-principle” approval for two - IDFC and Bandhan Financial Services - while setting aside the application of the Department of Posts to be decided separately. If the finance ministry had given permission earlier, the RBI could have issued a license to the Department for “Post Bank of India” as well.

While prior clearance of their parent company was necessary for the private players who had applied for a license, for the postal department, it was the clearance of the government of India, or more specifically, the finance ministry that was mandatory. Without such a clearance, the RBI could have rejected the application, which it didn't do. Had the government given its clearance, most probably the Post Bank too could have commenced its operations along with the other two licensees.

The Department of Posts has been trying to get the clearance of the finance ministry for some time now, but for some strange reason, the finance ministry has been dragging its feet. According to knowledgeable sources, the RBI was very keen and has even met with the ministry, but nothing fructified. It was clearly a case of the government defeating its own proclaimed aim of financial inclusion. There is no other institution, not even the network of public sector banks, that could help financial inclusion in a way that the the postal department is capable of.

If the Post Bank of India is operationalised, all the 1.54 lakh post offices, out of which about 90 per cent are in rural areas, by default will become a “bank”. These “banks” will be more accessible to the common people, because they have been right there for decades in their neighbourhood: there is a post office for every 7176 people in the country and in rural areas, the coverage is even better - one for every 5682 people. In fact, when the UPA government was struggling to find a way to transfer the wages for NREGA beneficiaries, it was this network that came to its rescue. About 2.2 crore people get their NREGA payments through the post offices.

Financial services are not new to post offices because for several decades, they have been running the post office savings scheme. Besides the extremely high penetration of the post offices, in rural areas, there are about 2.69 lakh agents (Grameen Dak Sevaks) who come home to help people with banking. Almost all these agents are also people from the neighbourhood and are familiar with the beneficiaries.

It is a unique banking eco-system that only Indian Post can claim credit for. It is a model that has evolved over time and is very hard to replicate because it is driven by the sheer needs of people, and nourished by trust and relationships.

This is where the finance ministry’s role is suspect. Why hasn’t it granted the permission to the Department of Posts when the RBI doesn’t have any objections. Who is it trying to protect? Isn’t it its commitment to financial inclusion a sham?

Interestingly, Kapil Sibal, the minister for posts, and even Rahul Gandhi couldn't get a government decision favouring the Postal Bank. Sibal reportedly was very keen while Rahul Gandhi, as usual, had his attention diverted.

As the RBI press release notes, financial inclusion was the stated objective for giving additional banking licenses.

"In the budget speech of the Union Finance Minister for the year 2010-11, it was announced, inter alia, that there was a need to extend the geographic coverage of banks and improve access to banking services and that RBI was considering giving some additional banking licences to private sector players,” the central bank said.

Why was the most eligible candidate excluded?

Anyway the RBI has a mind of its own and has apparently not given into the government’s indifference. It has kept the option of the Postal Bank open and will follow up with the financial ministry. How long will the ministry block it? Will the next government take a favourable decision?

The reasons are certainly more than what meets the eye.

RBI grants bank licenses to IDFC, Bandhan Financial; Green Signal also for India Post

>>  Reserve Bank of India said on Wednesday it had granted bank licenses to IDFC Ltd and Bandhan Financial Services that would be valid for 18 months and would be subject to the two financial firms fully complying with central bank regulations.

>> The central bank will also consider the application of India Post, but under a separate process to be carried out in consultation with the government.

>> The RBI last year allowed corporate houses to form banks as part of an effort to expand access to financial services in the country. No new Indian bank has been formed since Yes Bank in 2004.

>> The Election Commission on Tuesday allowed the RBI to announce new bank licences even ahead of general elections set to conclude next month, according to a notice in the commission's website.

>> The RBI had sought the commission's approval to issue new bank licences to ensure the process would not clash with the code of conduct ahead of elections, which prevents decisions that may be deemed as political from being taken by government officials or regulators.

>> The central bank said 25 applicants had been considered, and judged under various criteria including analysis of their financial statements, track record of running their business over the past 10 years and potential to run a bank.

>> The RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan had formed a four-member external panel to scrutinize applications for new banking licences, headed by a former RBI governor Bimal Jalan. It started evaluating the applications from November.

PA/SA Exam 2014: Total Applicants crossed 20 Lakhs!!!

Friends..everyone will be eager to know the at present status of registered applicants for Postal/Sorting Assistant Exam 2014. As per the status available till 22.03.2014 at 05.00Hrs 20,96,746 applications registered. With 05 more days remaining it will not be a surprise if it touches 25 lakhs or even 30 lakhs. It is a doubt whether any other exam in India will be having more applicants than this. (Last year about 22 lakhs registered for SSC CGL 2013..in all probabilities this will broke that record). This is at a time when everybody says that the relevance of Postal Department is shrinking. But the fact inside is that with the advent of technology, more than any other department, it is the Postal Department which is changing with the needs of the customers bringing in all the new technologies to a single platform. But as advertisements etc are no that much higher..still most people are not conversant with the new services being offered by Post Offices. With the DoP even in the front of the race for the new banking license there lies a great future ahead for the Department as well as newly recruited staffs. (These lines have been posted because we are receiving many questions as to the existence of DoP from many candidates).

The following states are having more than 01 lakhs applicants:

1) Andhra Pradesh: 177776

2) Gujarat: 112695

3) Madhya Pradesh: 176539

Job Profile of Postal/Sorting Assistant in India Post| Helps in Applying PA/SA Exam 2014

Friends..we are receiving many queries regarding the Job profile of Postal/Sorting Assistant. As this time in PA/SA Exam 2014 Application, one can apply for all Posts in order of preference it is important to know the difference between each post before applying( For notification: Click Here). We hope the following post will help you.

1) PAPO- Postal Assistant in Post Offices: Once you get into the job you will be posted in Post Offices and had to work in counter. All of you might have visited Post offices atleast once to send a Speed or Registered article no? The person who sits in the counter and helps you in booking the article is one such a Postal Assistant. The benefit of PAPO is that you can regularly come across many customers and will always be updated with the latest changes happening in the Post Office environment.

2) PASBCO- Postal Assistant in Savings Bank Control Organization: As the name suggest the work will be related to monitoring the Savings Bank related works.  Unlike PAPO, PASBCO cannot work in all Post Offices. The posting will only be in Head Post Offices working in the Circle. One thing to note is that the present working procedure of PASBCO is going to change drastically in the coming days. As the Post offices are getting migrated to Core Banking Platform the nature of working will also change in the days to come.

3) PACO/RO- Postal Assistant in Circle/Regional Offices: Circle/Regional Offices are the administrative wing of Postal Department. PA CO/RO is a separate administrative cadre and those selected are posted at Circle/Regional Offices situated in main cities within the circle (max. 2-5 offices). The benefit of PA CO/RO is that as it is an administrative office, working days will only be 05 (Monday to Friday). But the working hours is more in a day 9AM to 5.30PM. The nature of working is also different in this cadre. The nature of work will be mainly File work and PAs will not be dealing directly with the customers.

4) PARLO: Postal Assistant in Returned Letter offices. Mail not delivered for want of address, is re-directed to the sender if that address is there on the article. Otherwise, it is sent to the Returned Letter Office. In the Returned Letter Office, efforts are made to locate the correct address of the addressee, and if located, mail is forwarded to the addressee. When the address of the addressee cannot be located, efforts are made to locate the address of the sender by opening the letter.  If located, mail is returned to sender. Mail which cannot be delivered either to the addressee or to the sender is disposed of, after detention for the prescribed period. So the working will be related to this.

5) PAMMS: Postal Assistant in Mail Motor Services. It plays an important role in intra-city transmission of mail between mail offices and Post Offices.

6) PAFPO: Postal Assistant in Foreign Post Organization. Deals with the foreign articles transmitted through Post office network.

7) SARMS: Sorting Assistant in Railway Mail Service: Work is related to sorting of mails being sent through the Post Office Network. An article booked through Post office will reach the RMS. At RMS the SA will sort the mail according to pincode or address. A SA will not be posted in Post Offices instead they will be posted in RMS Units available within the circle mainly situated in a Railway Station or near it. The benefit of SA is that duty will be in shifts and often had to work in night shifts also. But once you take a night shift the next day you will be free.

Hope this article help you. You can refer previous Questions of PA/SA from Here. Also join our facebook page for regular updates click Here.
