PIB: Penetration of IPPB Into Rural Areas

 India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) has enabled more than 1.36 lakh Post Offices to provide banking services. In addition, nearly 1.89 lakh Postmen and Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) have been equipped with smartphones and biometric devices to provide doorstep banking services. This includes the facility of Bill Payment such as utility bills, Direct to Home (DTH)/Mobile recharges, Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI) payments etc. through account debit or cash payment.

The linking of 1.5 lakh post offices to core banking system spread throughout the country, would enable the customers in rural areas in accessing financial services, ATM banking, internet banking etc. Further, customers in rural areas will be able to transfer the funds from post office savings accounts to bank accounts and vice versa.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Communications, Shri Devusinh Chauhan, in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.

Reply

1.

Strengthening of Sub-Divisional Offices in Department of Posts by provisioning of one post of office Assistant to assist the Sub-Divisional Officer

 

The matter of providing one Office Assistant has been discussed in Postal Services Board (PSB) meeting held on 08-11-2021 and the board has decided that the Circles already have the powers to redeploy posts as per exigencies of operations and the issue was agreed to be dropped from the Board meeting;

 

Discussion: From the Association side it was emphasized to expunge “as per exigencies” as it is invariably required and it was pointed that unless one clear instruction goes from Directorate Circles may take it seriously. DG(Posts) agreed to the suggestion and issued instruction for issuance of a clear instruction to Circles. Delegation of financial power to Sub-Divisional Officer was raised from Association side and DG(Posts) asked for submission of a detail proposal on it.  

2.

Cadre Restructuring of Inspector Posts cadre

The file submitted to Ministry of Finance for approval was returned with some query, which is being complied and will be send to DoE soon with required information.

 

Discussion: From the Association side concerns over slow processing of the case was expressed. DG(Posts) instructed to Establishment Division for submission of the compliance by15th December, 2021 and to keep liaison with DoE. DG(Posts) also assured that he will personally keep a watch on it.

 

3.

Issuance of “Standard Verification Procedure” for complete verification of SB work in Branch Post Offices.

FS Division has requested CPMG, Tamil Nadu and Kerala Circles to formulate and share a draft standard verification procedure, which once received will be finalized and issues by Directorate.

 

Discussion: Association side has pointed out that Account holders of PO Savings Accounts standing in RICT-CBS Branch Posts Offices can now avail ATM, e-Banking and m-Banking facilities from 01-08-2021 and interoperability of Post Office Savings Account (POSA) with accounts of India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) is already in vogue and expressed the concern on difficulties in verification of Passbooks in changed scenario. DDG(FS) informed that Department is considering for dispensing with the same in consultation with Ministry of Finance. Probably the system of “Statement of Account” may be introduced instead of Passbook updating and verification thereof.

 

Among other issues, informally the issue of subsidiary offender was discussed and DG(Posts) told that recently guidelines has been issued vide No.INV-17/18/2021-INV-DoP dated 29-11-2021 and definitely there will be improvement in coming days.
