LET THE POSTMAN TURN BANKER: INDIA POST DESERVES TO GET A BANK LICENCE
India Post wants to own a bank. This is a great idea. In onestroke, this can ensure that millions more will get access to formal credit, in one of the most under-banked countries of the world.
The biggest advantage for India Post, among the most enduring institutions set up by the British, is its huge network and customer base. Compared to roughly 1,00,000 commercial and rural bank branches in India, there are 1,55,000 post offices, a majority in rural and semi-urban areas. As a collector of small savings, it has experience in taking deposits — about Rs 6 lakh crore at last count — but not in lending. A bank licence for only India Post would mean that the network of bank branches would more than double in one stroke.

DIVISIONAL WORKING COMMITTEE MEETING OF AHMEDABAD CITY DIVISION TO BE HELD ON 2ND JULY 2013
Divisional Working Committee meeting of Ahmedabad City division will be held on 02.07.13 evening. Com.S.K.Vaishnav Circle President and Circle Secretary will attend the meeting.
Ex. Divisional Secretary has not handed over any receipt books/accounts/balance to the present body and also huge amount collected during April 2010 to July 2012 has been held by him without any justification and also no quota has been remitted to Circle/CHQ/Federation ignoring number of notices for the purpose. As per our calculation Approx. Rs.4,20,000/- has been pocketed and therefore the Divisional Working Committee is likely to decide further line of action in the matter.

Dept. of Posts applies for banking licence
TODAY'S PAPER » BUSINESS
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

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL DIVISIONS
Some instructions are issued for attention of all divisions:
1. As above, General Secretary will attend Circle Council meetings all Circles as a part of streamlining the functioning of Circle Unions. I have also a telephonic talk to welcome this concept. So, our next Circle Council will be attended by Com.M.Krishnan. This will be very useful for all of us. We will get guidance on various aspects.
2. All Divisional Secretaries are requested to
keep following details/papers ready:
- Date of last Divisional Conference, minute books and a list of elected office bearers.
-Dates of Divisional Executive Committee meetings held during last two years and it's agenda/minute books.
-Accounts of last three years i.e. 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 presented before house of Divisional conference.
-details of number of members in above periods and list of accounts branch showing deduction of subscription from pay of members of our union as on 31.03.13.
-Details of quota remitted to Circle, CHQ and Federation and all receipts thereof.(last 3 years)
-all letters written to Divisional administration during last two years and replies received.
-minutes of monthly meetings for last two years including the last one or agenda given for the current month.
-letters written to Circle union in last two years.
-problems of divisions which are yet not taken up with divisional administration or not communicated to Circle union. (this should be sent immediately by email to CS)
3. It may be noted that Circle Secretary will also attend Divisional Executive Committee meetings. I am very sad to point out openly that few divisions previously fixed dates of their divisional conference without consultation and booking dates of Circle Secretary or any other nominated Circle representative in case of other inevitable engagements. No divisions are permitted to call for their divisional conference without knowledge and prior confirmation with the Circle Secretary.
4. Please refer to the Constitution of our union for management of divisional union. Section 44 provides : (a) " The Branch/Divisional Conference shall meet every two years but not later than 27 months.
(b) " The working committee shall meet at least once in every three months and ordinarily as often as deemed necessary.
Then, Section 12(i) provides: "The Branch, Divisional, Circle conferences shall be held once in two years but in any case shall not exceed beyond three months on the completion of 24 months period. The Circle union shall constitute an adhoc committed immediately on failure of any branch/divisional union to hold the branch/divisional conference within the above time frame as the whole team of office bearers of such defaulting branch/divisional unions cease to hold their offices on completion of the 27 months time."
I hope that all Divisional Secretaries are able to understand importance of compliance to our own constitution.
PLEASE CONVENE DIVISIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS PERIODICALLY.
PLEASE TAKE CARE TO HOLD DIVISIONAL CONFERENCE WITHIN THE TIME FRAME AS PER CONSTITUTION.
5. Quota is outstanding for whole previous year from few divisions. Some divisions are in habit of sending lump sum small amounts. This is quite irregular and in violation of Section 39 of our constitution.
All divisions are directed to remit their outstanding quota to higher ups immediately before completion of current month failing which, Circle representatives will visit your division for the purpose of collection of outstanding quota. If divisions are yet slack in the matter of timely and proper remittance of quota to higher ups, we will have to take action to seek amount of quota directly from DDOs but this would not appear good. Comrades, it is very difficult to run big organisation properly without due financial support.
6. All divisional secretaries must send agenda for monthly meetings on paper (in writing) with a copy to Circle union. This is very important and compulsory. Please also keep writing letters on various issues with a copy to Circle Union. Please be in touch through email: rashminpurohit@rediffmail.com
or
aipeugujarat@gmail.com
and
09427208408
7. Comrades, we want to improve our work. For that we have to introspect and be ready for some change, something new and innovative, dealing bravely and cleverly with challenges, clear in our policy.
We cannot make any progress if we do not ready to review, introspect and accept Change.
Your suggestions are always invited. Please co operate and be like ONE. We want to run our divisions and circle in a uniform system. No one will now stay behind and keep slow-moving.
8. I was unable to update on this blog after coming back from AIC because of constant tour for union and personal purpose. In the meantime, many comrades reminded me on cellphone that they are waiting some posts on our blog. They pressed me to update every day. I am thankful to all these comrades for making me also running and working for the cause of postal employees. Comrades, we are like one family.By ultimate unity we can do the difference.
Comradely-Lovingly ever yours
