Concern over decision to decrease interest rates on postal savings

Following the government’s decision to recalibrate the interest rate of small saving schemes from April 1, depositors have raise concern over the decrease in interest for their savings.
Last month, the government had announced that it would revise interest rates of small savings schemes on a quarterly basis to align them with the market rate of other government securities. If the move is implemented, new depositors will have to settle for a slightly lesser interest rate.
The rate of interest for some of the schemes such as recurring deposit, time deposit and kisan vikas patra may decrease by 0.25 per cent. In Chennai City region, there are over 60 lakh savings deposit holders now.
Postal agents too fear that the number of people depositing money in post offices may decrease if the decision is implemented.
S. Rajpandian, president of Tamil Nadu Postal Agents Welfare Association, said the maturity period ofkisan vikas patra might have to be revised according to the interest rate that is being provided. This may discourage some depositors as the amount invested will double during the maturity period. Time deposits and monthly income schemes (MIS) are some of the popular schemes.
However, interest rates of schemes like MIS, selvamagal semippu thittam, ponmagan podhuvaippu nidhi and those for senior citizens will remain the same. The association plans to submit a memorandum to the Postal Department seeking continuation of the existing interest rate and increase in the incentives given to them.
Many post offices are yet to receive any directives about the new move with regard to savings schemes. Officials said that the interest rate, even if revised, would still remain higher than those offered by financial institutions and banks. It would not affect the deposits as people, particularly those in rural areas, would prefer to invest in post offices, they added.

Bank customers can use post-office ATMs soon
New Delhi March 4, 2016
India Post will send a proposal to RBI for its ATMs to work on the platforms of all other banks
Soon people will be able to withdraw money from any bank account - private or PSU - through ATMs of India Post, as it takes the first step towards the proposed Postal Bank in the next few years.
Currently, people with accounts in postal department can use the services of the ATM.
India Post, which has already received a license for starting a Payments Bank, will send a proposal to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for allowing ATMs of India Post to work on the platforms of all other banks. "We will soon send a proposal for interoperability of its ATMs with other banks. This would mean technology upgradation in our existing ATMs," according to a senior official from the department.

"We will soon send a proposal for interoperability of its ATMs with other banks. This would mean technology upgradation in our existing ATMs," according to a senior official from the department.
The minister for communications and IT Ravi Shankar Prasad has been taking keen interest in the revival of India Post through various measures. Currently, about 600 ATMs have been installed across the country and target is to take this number to 1000 by March this year and 10,000 in the next couple of years. Also, another 20,000 micro ATMs will be set up in the same period.
"This will promote banking in the rural areas. The plan is to have one ATM each in all the 1.55 lakh post offices, out of which 1.3 are in the rural areas, across the country," the official said.
Public Investment Board has already approved Rs 800 crore proposal from India Post for setting up a payments bank and is now in the process of finalising a consultant for the same. It is expected to start operations by March 2017. Subsequently, the plan is to convert into a full-fledged bank.
In the Budget 2016-17, the government has already announced a massive rollout of ATMs and micro ATMs in post offices over the next three years to provide better access to financial services in rural areas.
As on February, India Post has issued 126,181 ATM-cum-debit cards to its account holders.
Also, about 25,000 post offices have been brought under core banking system, which will allow users to operate their accounts from any post office. As of now, people have to visit their respective post office branch to undertake transactions.
Once core banking system is implemented across all post offices by next year, it will offer users flexibility to visit any branch. The IT modernization project of post offices is underway with an investment of about Rs 5,000 crore. India Post has overtaken the State Bank of India to become India's largest core banking network with 18,231 branches.
Postal department plays a huge role in disbursing wages to Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) beneficiaries. Nearly 6.92 crore MGNREGS accounts have been opened in post offices up to December 2015 and the number of post office savings bank (POSB) accounts has increased from 30.86 crore to 33.97 crore, according to the latest Economic Survey. Because of these reasons, the department of posts is planning to install ATMs so that it can benefit even the lower strata of the society.
As many as 25 commercial banks and institutions including Deutsche Bank, State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Axis, Yes Bank and IDBI have evinced interest in partnership with India Posts for their Payments Bank venture. Payments bank will be able to products such as demand deposits and remittances. They will not be allowed to undertake lending activities and will initially be restricted to hold a maximum balance of Rs 1 lakh per customer. However, they will be allowed to issue ATM or debit cards as other prepaid payment instruments, but not credit cards.

The modernisation process will include setting up centralised data centres and disaster recovery centres, networking of all post offices.
The budget also includes training postmen who will be given solar powered hand held devices, connected to data centers via SIMs, which will give rural consumers access to financial remittances and saving accounts through biometric scanning apart from other identification tools.
Telecommunication Consultant India Limited (TCIL) will provide the handheld devices alongside RICOH India Limited, and also ensure connectivity, while Infosys will be the Rural System Integrator, the minister said in Parliament.
The devices will also offer core banking solution through a mobile app, which ties into the Postal Department's future plan of introducing payment bank services. Core banking solution has been rolled out in 18,231 Post Offices, which is now the largest, surpassing State Bank of India.
About 23.81 crores postal saving bank accounts have been digitised, including 80,000 in rural areas. All the 25,297 departmental post offices in the country have been computerized while data centre was started in Navi Mumbai in April 2013, and disaster recovery centre has been functioning in Mysuru since May last year.
