NEW DELHI: Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan has backed the postal department's demand to set up a bank, even as the finance ministry has tried to block the move. At the annual day lecture of the Competition Commission of India on Tuesday evening, the RBI governor, who is known for his candid comments, suggested that the 'Post Bank' could be given a limited banking license that will be able to raise deposits and offer payment and remittance services. There will, however, be restrictions on investments and the entire amount would be have to be parked in government securities."...the proposed Post Bank could start as a payment bank, making use of post office outlets to raise deposits and make payments," Rajan said.Source : http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/

CORE BANKING & ATMS IN POST OFFICES
 
India Post has gone live with its core banking platform in 200 post offices, piloting Infosys Finacle and a postal life insurance system based on Infosys McCamish platform.        This is the part of the end-to-end IT Modernization project 2012 programme by the Department of Posts to equip itself with modern tools and technologies.  Around 23,200 out of 155,000 post offices in India are to be migrated into the Core Banking Solution (CBS) by 2015.
 
Once all the post offices are live on the CBS, customers will be able to access their post office savings account anywhere in the country through multiple channels including internet browser, mobile and ATM. Additionally, the software for the ATM is ready and these ATMs have been installed in 100 post office banks. These ATMs will be replicated in 1,000 other locations across the country in the next few months and will be scaled up to 2,800 by 2,015.

GRADE PAY:
v  The present Grade pay system is not favor to the Govt.official, since   it is proposed with a marginal increase and in uniform manner. In some stages, it gives the benefit of Rs.200/ only during promotions and it is not sufficient even to meet two meals cost.
v  The promotion of the official has to be honored by giving some additional benefits not less than minimum Rs.2000/= from one Grade pay to another Grade pay, then only the officials will opt the promotions.
v  At present, most of the promotions were denied by the Govt.officials for the main reason of financial hardship. Hence, the minimum increase of the GradePay must be Rs.2000/= during the promotions from one Grade pay to another Grade pay.       
INCREMENT
In fact the single date increment system has brought lot of  anomalies. In our Opinion, the commission must recommend, for administrative expediency, two specific dates as increment dates. Viz. 1st January and 1st July.                Those recruited/appointed/promoted during the period between 1 Jan and  June, will have their increment date on l January and those recruited/appointed/promoted between 1st July and 31st December will have it on 1st July next
This apart the Commission is required to specifically recommend that those who retire on 30th June and 31st December are granted one increment on the last day of their service.
 
     The increment must be classified as two types of increments called as Annual Increment and Promotional Increment.
 
a. Annual Increment may be increased from 3% to 4% as in present
 
b. Promotional Increment may be considered during promotions @ 5%, since the officials are facing financial hardship during promotions by loosing less salary than the drawn already and also additional establishment for self.
 
c. Irrespective of MACP, the promotional increment has to be considered during norm based promotions or promotions by passing Departmental examination without changing the Grade Pay to avoid hierarchy anomalies. 
 
d. In the case of employees retired on pre-date of annual increment, one increment has to be allowed to the official, since he had completed one year service in his grade.
 
MACP with 5 financial up gradation :
a.                There should be 5 financial upgradation in the departmental promotional hierarchy. MACP is a time bound promotional scheme, The scheme is required to be continued to motivate personnel at all levels and at all departments especially in those organizations, where normal promotional avenues are few and far between. Normal promotions are dependent upon the availability of vacancies at higher levels. The job requirement of certain organizations may not be capable of creating requisite number of higher level positions whereas it might need large number of personnel at lower levels.
b.    It is suggested that 5 level MACP promotion during the completion of 10 years, 8 years, 6 years, 4 years and 2 years, since the most of the new recruits come to the Govt services between the ages 28 to 30 years,, It should be granted in the hierarchy of Promotional posts to ensure that an individual can get actual financial benefits which he was supposed to get by promotion to the higher post. It will serve to maintain the required motivation level and aspiration in Govt. employees as well as to attract and retain them.  
c.     The earlier order is having lot of clarifications and also very difficult to understand the concept of the order. Hence, the future order has to be issued un easy language to follow it without no need of further clarifications.
 
Allowances & Advances
The existing allowances need to be retained. They are at a realistic level having been evolved by successive Pay Commission over detailed deliberations. Other than HRA & HBA, all allowances/advances are to be multiplied by 2.5 times according to the ratio of Dearness allowance and inflation.The rates of all the above allowances shall automatically increase by 25% whenever the Dearness Allowance payable on the revised pay bands goes up by 50%.
 
HOUSE RENT ALLOWANCE: The existing rate of HRA for the  A1- Cities as 30% and the A, B-1 &2 Cities as 20% may be continued. But, in the class of C areas, the 10% is not sufficient while comparing the actual rent paid by the Govt. official. Hence, it may be raised to 15% for all C class areas.
Yours faithfully,

[R.K.TANDON, 
GENERAL SECRETARY]
