Why You Can Bank on India Post
Of the 26 aspirants who want to set up a bank, the government arm, India Post, appears to be best placed to fulfil the objective of financial inclusion. The Reserve Bank of India has said new banks will have to set up at least three branches in villages with a population of less than 10,000 for each branch they establish in other areas.
Unlike what many believe, a Post Bank of India (PBI) will be a completely new entity with no legacies of a government department and very little to do with its parent, except using some of its network. It will have an independent board and just two members from the government, one from the finance ministry and another from the department of post.
Geographically, the India Post network beats the entire banking system in the country. The ubiquitous mail carrier is present in more than 1,55,000 locations in India, 90 percent of them in villages. On an average, a post office serves an area of a little over 21 sq km and a population of 7,175, much lower than the RBI norm. In terms of experience with collecting deposits, the crucial left hand side of a bank balance sheet, again the department is unmatched. It manages over Rs 6 lakh crore in savings deposits and offers several financial services such as pensions schemes, insurance, recurring deposits and remittances.
That said, one of the crucial areas in which the department is short in experience is credit; the bread and butter for a bank.
To be sure, the idea of a PBI has been around for nearly 15 years as leaps in modern communications technology gradually made the snail mail unattractive and obsolete. On July 14, India Post shut down its 162-year-old telegraph service.
About five to six years ago, the Administrative Staff College of India prepared a report on turning the post office into a bank. It was more wishful thinking than a concrete business plan. It had proposed turning all post offices into bank branches. “That would have required about Rs 62,000 crore in capital and Rs 2 lakh crore in priority sector lending,” says Ashvin Parekh, Partner and National Industry Leader, Global Financial Services, Ernst & Young. RBI norms require all new banks to comply with reserve requirements from start.
The RBI and the finance ministry had also raised concerns about the department’s credit capability. It was clear that turning the entire network into a bank was a non-starter.
According to the plan prepared by Ernst & Young, India Post will become PBI’s banking correspondent. PBI, which will start with just 40 branches, will use the post office infrastructure but very frugally. In the beginning, it is only looking at a small, Rs 5,000 crore bank. That also means the government will not have to shell out huge amounts of capital. Anyway, the bank will need to bring in new shareholders and sell equity to the public for a stock market listing, as per RBI norms.
The bank can also leverage the technology backbone that is being put in place. The department has a Rs 4500 crore allocation in the 12th Plan for technology upgradation. Of that budget, Rs 1,200 crore will go only into financial services, including a core banking software, Infosys’ Finacle.
Carefully done, the PBI can be a game-changer in rural areas. It has a great brand recall and in many villages of India, the postman is a popular person. In fact, it can go one step ahead and even play a role in financial literacy in villages.

9 smart ways to fight terror at work
Here's how to tell if you are being browbeaten at work, and nine smart ways to fight it
So you thought that bullying stops at school? Perhaps, not. Bullying at work is, apparently, serious business. It is very common, and hazardous. A recent article in the UK's National Health Service states, "Bullying can make working life miserable. You lose all faith in yourself, you can feel ill and depressed, and find it hard to motivate yourself to work".
Do you feel nauseous the night before the start of a new work weak? Does it become painfully tiresome to drag yourself out of the bed on a Monday morning? Do you dread the sight of office and facing that plethora of files? Chances are that your work means misery to you, and that's not good news. And the reason could be a workplace bully. Here are signs that will help you understand if you are in fact, a victim of bullying.
Constant screaming
This is the first trait and stands true for all workplace bullies. They make their feelings explicit mostly by shouting. If you are frequently screamed at, insulted or humiliated in front of your colleagues, you're probably your bully's victim.
Reminding errors
To err is human. Right. But the terror castle of a bully doesn't seem to think so. If your senior colleague is maintaining a journal of your errors and perpetually referring to them for no reason at all, you have fallen prey to their terror. Likewise, they always tend to wrongly accuse of mistakes that you haven't made. Be careful there.
Perpetual disapproval
When it comes to meeting targets, experts say, bullies have a different set of standards. So, if the pointed criticism from your big boss or colleague has become a constant, despite being thoroughly competent at your job and even exceeding expectation, know the reason isn't you.
Sorry, not invited
If you feel like you're being singled out by your colleagues or boss, socially or physically, you are probably being bullied. That can mean having your desk moved or not being invited to lunch meetings.
Need a break
If it seems like all your time off is being used for recreational breaks to get away from the desolation of your office, it could be because you're being bullied. Other signs include spending your days feeling listless, demotivated and bored.
Disruption rules
A workplace bully may try to find ways to ensure that you fail at your job. Examples include changing rules randomly or not performing tasks important to your success, such as signing off documents or taking calls when they should be answering them.
Being impossible
If your boss always schedules lastminute meetings on days when he/ she knows you're leaving early, he/ she is a bully. Remember, a workplace bully won't hesitate to change your schedule to make your life difficult.
No credit
You've slogged your butt off for weeks and months on a project, but when the time comes to share the credit, either he takes it or won't give it. Either way, it won't make you feel too great about the effort you've put in your job.
Rumour has it
So there is the apparent bully, but beneath all those criticisms or personal remarks, there's the greater good for work at heart. However, what you need to be really wary of are the covert office bullies. He/she is the vicious one and is likely to spread destructive gossip and lies about you and your performance, rather than scream at you in front of your co-workers. Failing to stop the spread of a rumour can be an act of bullying, as well.
Help yourself
- Find yourself a work companion. Don't be ashamed to tell them what's going on
- Speak to an employee representative, someone considerate in the company's human resources department, about how you could deal with the problem informally
- If the bullying is affecting your health, consult your family physician
- Bullying reflects the bully's own weaknesses, and is meant to intimidate you. Stay calm, and don't bother to argue with them. It's a pointless battle
- Only if you can, talk to the person in question as they may not realise how their behaviour has affected you
- Maintain a diary. It will prove useful when you decide to take action at a later stage

Letter to Secretary (Posts) i/c/w to finalise Recruitment Rules of PS Gr. B and allow ASPs to write Sr. PM Examination
No. CHQ/IPASP/CRC/2012 Dated : 15/7/2013.
This Association would like to further bring to your kind notice that, Recruitment Rules for Postal Superintendents notified in 1979 to fill up 100% posts through IP Line officials who have put in 5 years of service by seniority cum fitness through Departmental promotion committee. Department promulgated Revised Recruitment Rules on 11/3/1988 merging two erstwhile cadres viz ‘Postal Superintendent Gr. B and Postmaster Gr. B under nomenclature of PSS Group “B”. The total number of posts notified in RRs was 790. But 76 posts of Sr. Postmaster were not forming part to it although representation in the different rosters was given correctly to 866 posts. Due to the amalgamation of two cadres, the share to General line was distributed as under:
These Recruitment Rules were subsequently amended in the year 1994 vide Directorate memo No. 9-36/92-SPG dated 29/6/1994 and the method of filling the Posts was prescribed as
Department has created Postmaster Cadre vide memo No. 4-17/2008-SPB.II dated 22/11/2010, and 116 PS Gr. B Posts were carved for Senior Postmaster Cadre and framed RRs for Senior Postmaster Cadre vide memo No. 137-03/2009-SPB.II dated 9/9/2010. The method for filling up of the Posts was prescribed as:
It is further to state that as per the various Recruitment Rules the composition of Posts would be as under:
With profound regards,
To,
Ms. P. Gopinath,
Director General,
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi 110 001.
Subject : Quota of General Line in PS Group ‘B’ Examination … reg.
Ref. : Directorate No. A.34012/06/2011-DE dated 13th April, 2012.
Respected Madam,
IP/ASP Association intends to bring to your kind notice certain issues about holding of LDCE for the promotion to the PS Gr. B cadre. On introduction of Postmaster Cadre, 25% posts in Sr. Postmaster Cadre have been earmarked for HSG-I General Line Officials through promotion. Hence, out of 116 posts of Senior Postmaster, 29 posts have been given to General Line without reducing their share in PS Gr. B cadre. This has adversely affected the promotional avenues of IP/ASP cadre, and hence two Circle branches of this Association and 4 individuals approached to CAT to get relief for non-holding of Sr. PM Examination.
6% of 866 Posts
i.e 52 posts
|
From General Line Officials who have put in 5 years services in LSG and above through LDCE.
|
94% of 866 Posts
i.e 814 posts
|
From IP Line officials who have put in 5 years services through DPC
|
6% of 866 Posts
i.e 52 posts
|
From General Line Officials who have put in 5 years services in LSG and above through LDCE.
|
19% of 866 Posts
i.e 165 posts
|
From IP Line officials who have put in 5 years services through LDCE.*
|
75% of 866 Posts
i.e 649 posts
|
From IP Line officials who have put in 5 years services through DPC
|
Department has created Postmaster Cadre vide memo No. 4-17/2008-SPB.II dated 22/11/2010, and 116 PS Gr. B Posts were carved for Senior Postmaster Cadre and framed RRs for Senior Postmaster Cadre vide memo No. 137-03/2009-SPB.II dated 9/9/2010. The method for filling up of the Posts was prescribed as:
25% of Posts
|
From General Line officials who have put in 2 years services in HSG-I through DPC.
|
75% of Posts
|
Through LDCE from IP Line officials in PB-2 9300-34800 with a Grade Pay of Rs. 4200/- who have put a 6 years regular services through LDCE.*
|
1. As per 1988 Recruitment Rules, total No. of Posts were 866
General Line
|
052 through LDCE
|
IP Line
|
814 through DPC
|
2. As per 1994 amended Recruitment Rules Total No. of Posts 866
General Line (6%)
|
052 through LDCE
|
IP Line (19%)
|
165 through LDCE
|
IP Line (75%)
|
649 through DPC
|
3. As per Sr. PM Recruitment Rules Total No. of Posts 116 of which 29 post of General line are to be filled through DPC and 87 post from IP line i.e 100% through LDCE. Apparently these 87 posts are required to be carved out from the 19 % quota meant for IP line.
General Line (25%)
|
29 through DPC
|
IP Line (75%)
|
87 through LDCE
|
4. Residuary PS Gr. B Total No. of Posts 866-116=750 that will form part of new recruitment rules for which revision of PS Group “B” will be required to reduce the number of posts from respective quota. As a natural justice and fair equality 116 posts should only be reduced from 6% equal to 29 post (General line) and 87 posts from 19% quota earmarked for IP line promoted through LDCE. This is so because as per postmaster recruitment rule 2010, all the 87 posts of Sr. Postmaster are to be filled from amongst the IP line having 6 year service only through Limited Departmental Examination and 29 posts from general line through DPC. There is no logic to reduce the quota from 75% quota i.e 649 post earmarked for filling through seniority cum fitness as no representation to senior most IPs/ASPs is given in Sr. Postmaster cadre through seniority cum fitness (see postmaster recruitment rule 2010).
This Association have severally requested Directorate to issue revised Recruitment Rules for PS Gr. B cadre to correct the anomaly of fixation of quota for PS Gr. B from IP Line Officials and General Line Officials by providing 97% vacancies to PS Gr. B from IP Line and 3% by promotion of HSG-I officials from General Line through a LDCE. It is understood that this file is under process. It is also learnt that department is allowing Circle Office and RMS staff to appear in PS Group “B” by allowing transfer of 10 posts to PS Group B fleet that will increase the total number of post to 760. In that event, the apportionment would be in a different equation and should be in the following manner for fair equality as also committed before Hon’ble CAT Chandigarh bench by Directorate not to reduce the posts from 75% quota i.e 649 posts. As such there should not be reduction of 87 Sr. Postmaster posts from 649 posts earmarked for promotion to IP/ASPs through seniority cum fitness particularly when no representation to this quota is given in Sr. Postmaster promotion through DPC. IPASP Association is accordingly demanding following sharing out:
General Line (3%)
|
023 through LDCE
|
IP Line (12%)
|
091 through LDCE
|
IP Line (85%)
|
646 through DPC
|
It is to further intimate that this Association has already submitted detailed proposal to Directorate under letter No. CHQ/PS Gr. B/2011 dated 4/7/2011 regarding distribution of quota under each category for implementation in the interest of both IP Line and General Line officials but despite series of reminders to Department nothing has been done till this date except inviting unnecessarily 6 CAT cases. It is not understood why ASPs are not eligible to write the Sr. Postmaster examination as both Posts relates to one and same Cadre i.e. IP cadre. It needs to be looked into.
It is therefore requested your honour to kindly look into the matter personally and issue necessary instructions to SPG DIVISION to finalise the Recruitment Rules of PS Gr. B cadre accordingly by reducing shares from each quota as proposed above also. In the mean time in order to give effect to Postmaster Recruitment Rule 2010, it is suggested that junior 29 PS Group B official recruited against 52 posts and 87 junior most IP line officials recruited through LDCE may immediately be ordered to post on the posts of Sr. Postmaster. One time option from others as per Recruitment Rules-2010 may be obtained. ASPs may also be allowed to appear in Sr. Postmaster examination. This will mitigate the repeated court cases also.
With profound regards,
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-
