50 companies keen on associating with Postal Bank: Prasad
SURAT (22.08.2016) : Around 50 companies including global banking institutions, like the World Bank, Deutsche Bank and Barclays, have expressed eagerness to be associated with the Centre's postal payments bank initiative, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said today.
"We will begin postal payments banking service from September 16, wherein 1.3 lakh postmen will be given hand-held devices, a moving ATM to provide banking services, insurance, money-order, as well as third-party service," Information Technology Minister said after inaugurating an incubation centre at the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) here.
"Some 50 companies, including World Bank, Deutsche Bank, Swiss Bank, Barclays, want to be associated with us," said the senior BJP leader.
The Union Cabinet in June had cleared the proposal for postal payments banks with a corpus of Rs 800 crore. The proposal is to set up 650 branches of postal payments banks. Prasad said his ministry is taking up several initiatives to use IT and related services to improve the services, and asked IT experts to use government services through the STPI to innovate in this direction.
"We will also begin virtual classroom facility so that we can use technology to offer better education through virtual classrooms. As a pilot project, 3,500 government schools will be given the facility, of which 770 schools are from Gujarat," Prasad added. The minister also spoke about the government initiative to set up BPOs in smaller centres in the country.
"We have started BPO scheme to encourage small centres for call centres, BPOs. We started 48,000 call centres/BPOs and will provide subsidy of Rs 1 lakh for call centres in smaller centres. We are creating a platform across the country for that," Prasad said. "IT applications will be used for pensioners, distributing scholarships. We want to make India the IT power hub of the world," said the minister.
Prasad later visited Bardoli from where freedom fighter Sardar Patel had started his historic 'Satyagrah' against the British rule.

The excerpt of PM's Independence Day Speech on DoP's Payments Bank
Following is the extract in connection with India Post taken from the original Independence Day speech of Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Due to information technology, whatsApp, messages, online, e-mail, our post-offices were becoming irrelevant slowly. Post Office is an example of our identity. We have revived and rejuvenated our post offices. It is now linked with poor and small persons. If any government representative gets the affection of a common man in India, it is the postman. Everyone loves postman and postman also loves everybody, but we never paid attention towards them. We have taken a step to convert our post offices into payment banks. Starting of this payment bank will spread the chain of banks in the villages across the country in one go. The benefit of JAN-DHAN Account will also be available and now the MNREGA money through Aadhar Card is also getting transferred in the account of a common man leading to reduction in corruption.
My dear countrymen, when we see train, post office, we also see the unity of India there. More and more efforts we make to unite India and bring change in our system, it strengthens the unity and integrity of our country. For this, we have launched a scheme Mandi e-NAM for the farmers. Today, a farmer can sell his produce in any of the market online across the country. Today, he is not compelled to sell his produce in a market 10 kms away from his fields, at cheaper rates without any income for his hard labour. Now, in the country, through e-NAM, a Network of its own kind, Mandi Network is getting established.

India Post to Open Payment Bank in Every District in India
India Post expects to start the first 50 branches of its payments bank by May 2017, seeking to widen financial inclusion in the country.
As per the current plan, India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) - as it has been termed will eventually have 650 branches across the country.
While the first set of branches will open by May, the remaining will start operations by September 2017, a top official of the Department of Posts said.
The department hopes to submit a final proposal to the Reserve Bank of India by February, ahead of the March 2017 deadline, after it has the required management and technology in place, SK Sinha, secretary, Department of Posts, told .
The RBI gave in-principle approval to 11 applicants in August last year, including the Department of Posts, Aditya Birla Nuvo, Airtel M Commerce Services, Fino PayTech, National Securities Depository, Reliance Industries, Tech Mahindra and Vodafone m-pesa, for setting up payments banks. Three of the 11 entities have decided to back out, citing unviability.
India Post, with a network of about 155,000 post offices, will hire almost 2,000 people for the payments bank operations.
"There will be nine board members, five from outside and four internal people from the department, including the CEO," said Sinha.
The department is contemplating whether it can form its own search and selection committee to appoint a CEO or rely on the standard procedure followed by public sector banks for top-level appointments.
The department has written to state-owned banks seeking nominations. Sinha said the State Bank of India has responded with some names.
"For the next rung of leadership such as the chief financial officer, chief operating officer and chief technology officer, we are forming an internal committee," he said. The government has approved Rs 400 crore equity and Rs 400 crore grant for IPPB.
Alibaba-backed Paytm is the other or payments frontrunner for payments banks in India and has drawn up a largely branchless model.
Sinha said that India Post is looking at catering to the unbanked population of the country with the idea of opening one branch in almost every district of the country.
"Most of the other players may not be even thin king of the areas that we want to service," said Sinha. The plan is to have most of the banking features such as money transfer and internet banking, apart from offering credit (in partnership with other banks or institutions), along with financial products such as mutual funds.
Sinha is betting big on the government's direct benefits transfer scheme to drive transactions, with welfare payments being deposited in the bank accounts of consumers.

select committee in place for the appointment of a CEO.
“We are in a hurry to
put everything in place as soon as possible, we sought suggestions from the top
public sector banks to help us in finding a CEO,” SK Sinha, secretary,

will also use the 154,000 existing post offices to sell a host of its products
and the new bank could hire about 2,000 people.
