NEW DELHI, June 28, 2013
The Department of Posts, on Thursday, submitted
an application before the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for a licence to offer
full-fledged banking services.
“We have approached
the RBI today [Thursday], and hopefully having met all the conditions of RBI,
an in-principle approval might be given. If it is given, I think, it will be a
revolutionary step because it will bring banking, subject to Cabinet approval, to
the doorstep of the ordinary man in this country,” Telecom and IT Minister
Kapil Sibal told PTI.
The RBI is in the
process of granting fresh banking licences and has set July 1 as the deadline
for applying.
The Department of
Posts has plans to start 50 bank branches in the first year and scale it to a
total of 150 branched in five years.
The Department of
Posts has started inter-ministerial consultations for seeking Cabinet approval
on around Rs.1,900 crore fund requirement to start Post Banks. The total amount
includes Rs.500 crore paid-up capital required under new banking licence
guidelines. — PTI
Postal department to launch quicker parcel service from
July 19
The department of post is set to
launch a revamped parcel service, with quick delivery period, better packaging
and security features from July 19.
The new product would be launched
in 20 cities across India, including Lucknow and Agra in the Uttar Pradesh
circle. “With a centralised delivery system in place, the parcel service would
cut down parcel deliveries by at least two days,” postal headquarters UP circle
director Vivek Kumar Daksh said. He added that a new mechanised parcel and
logistic hub-processing center was also under consideration for improving
services.
In Lucknow, the new parcel
services would be made available at prominent post offices, including General
Post office (GPO), Chowk, New Hydrabad, Gomti Nagar, Nirala Nagar, Mahanagar,
Aliganj, Indira Nagar, SGPGI, IIM, LDA colony, Aminabad, Alambagh and
Rajajipuram. The facility would be available for both retail and bulk customers
in ordinary and express forms.
Senior officials at the postal
department said the new system, which was an India Post initiative, would scrap
at least two processes involved in the route of booking to delivery, that would
help cut down on the delivery time. As of now, after the booking at the post
offices, the parcel is sent to the Railway Mail Service (RMS) office of the
source station, where it is processed and directed to the RMS of the
destination station. Thereafter it is sent to the concerned post office and dispatched
for delivery.
Officials explained that as in
the new system, the processing time at the RMS centres could be saved it would
save at least two days in case of distant parcel deliveries.
