3000 ATMS WILL BE INSTALLED BY SEPT' 15 IN POST OFFICES

India Post to install 3000 ATMs,1.35 lakh mirco-ATMs by Sept 15

We will be starting with three ATMs to be installed in New Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore on Feb 5," says postal dept secretary
Even as its application to start a commercial bank is pending,  has drawn a massive plan to install as many as 3,000 ATMs and 1.35 lakh micro-ATMs at the ubiquitous post offices across the country for savings account holders by September 2015, a top official has said.

"We will be starting with three ATMs to be installed in New Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore on February 5 and then ramp it up gradually," postal department secretary Padmini Gopinath told a select group of reporters here over the weekend.

She said 1,000 ATMs with the India Post branding will be put in within the first year, which will be ramped up massively to 3,000 in the next 18 months.

To start with, the ATMs can be used only by 26 crore savings account-holders who save with the postal department, but Gopinath exuded confidence that within six months of the launch, they will get the interoperability permission from the Reserve Bank.

Postal savings are worth around Rs 6.05 trillion, which is half the savings in the largest lender SBI and more than double that of the largest private sector lender .

Through interoperability, India Post will join the National Financial Switch, which will benefit India Post account holders to transact at the banks' ATMs and vice versa, she added.

India Post has been working with software major Infosys on this project, she added.

The micro ATMs will be handheld devices to be operated at the post office level while the  will be similar to the one operated by any commercial bank, she added.

The postal department, which has 1.55 lakh post offices over 90% of which are in villages, offers the savings account to people across the country and pays an interest of 4% per annum for such deposits. The account offers cheque facility at present.

It can be noted that the Department of Posts is fighting a very contentious battle to convert itself into a full fledged bank, asserting that its reach can help achieve the goal of financial inclusion.

However, the finance ministry has expressed some reservations about the idea, while Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal has exuded confidence of winning over his Cabinet colleagues to get the go ahead for the 'Postal Bank'.

Casual Labour - Huger Fast Postponed: NFPE & FNPO has already declared two days strike on 2014 February 12th & 13th and Regularization and revision of wages of casual labourer is one of the main demands of the strike. Secretary Generals of
NFPE & FNPO and all General Secretaries are out of Delhi conducting intensive campaign programmes in all Circles for making the strike total success. As such it is decided to postpone the proposed hunger fast programme on 05-02-2014 in front of Dak Bhavan, New Delhi and concentrate fully on strike campaign.
System Administrators Case: The demand for creation of a separate cadre for System Administrators has been discussed several times with the Department. Last discussion was held in the JCM, Departmental Council meeting and Cadre Restructuring Committee. Department has made it clear that existing System Administrators are not going to be benefited even if a seperate cadre is created and also pointed out certain other adverse aspects of the case. The main points of the Department are (1) In the Recruitment Rules for creating separate cadre Government (DOP & T) will fix higher technical qualifications for the post. (2) Government (DOP & T) will not agree for absorption of existing System Administrators and instead go for direct recruitment as per the Recruitment Rules. (3) Even if a cadre is created there is no much promotional scope in the same cadre as the promotional posts will be very less. Just like Postmaster Cadre they will not get general line promotion and also cannot writ IP & PSS Group B exams. In view of the above all Circle/Divisional Secretaries are requested to inform their views on the following points. (1) Whether we should still stick to our demand for separate cadre (2) Instead whether we should demand special pay or some other benefits for the existing System Administrators. The issue will be again discussed on the next meeting of the Cadre Restructuring Committee to be held on 04-02-2014. Send your views by email to nfpehq@gmail.com before 02-02-2014. .....................
