Postal banks effective globally: Nachiket Mor
Nachiket Mor, head of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)’s committee on financial inclusion, on Thursday said the postal bank model had been a success globally. In a report by the committee, Mor had advocated differentiated banks and a new structure for priority sector lending
A former deputy managing director of ICICI Bank, Mor is also a member of an advisory committee under former RBI governor Bimal Jalan that is vetting the applications of 25 applicants for bank licences. The committee has been mandated to communicate its suggestions to the banking regulator.
While India Post has applied for a bank licence, there are differences within the government on whether the entity should be allowed to enter the sector. While the communications and information technology ministry is pushing the idea, the finance ministry is opposed to the move.
“I don’t want to comment anything about India Post. What I am saying is worldwide, postal banks have been very effective as payment banks,” Mor said at the sidelines of a seminar of financial inclusion.
The finance ministry is not keen on letting India Post convert itself into a bank, citing practical difficulties. This is despite the fact that about 90 per cent of its 155,000 post offices are located in villages. As of March 2013, postal savings stood at Rs 6.05 lakh crore, half the total deposits of State Bank of India, India’s largest lender.
Last week, Minister for Communications & Information Technology Kapil Sibal said his ministry would ensure India Post got a banking licence.
The Mor panel has recommended setting up two kind of banks — payment banks and wholesale ones. It emphasises the need to move away from the universal banking model in which a bank offers all financial products and services and has to meet all regulatory mandates and priority sector obligations to specialised banks in a differentiated bank licence framework.
“We need to be lot more flexible and not frown on collaborations. Let the regulator be a referee, and not a captain,” Mor said.
Several experts and industry players feel financial sector regulations are stiff, with high entry barriers, particularly for banking. While giving bank licences, RBI follows a conservative approach. For about a decade, no new players have been allowed into the sector.
In 2010, following a Budget announcement by former finance minister Pranab Mukherjee in this regard, a process to allow new banks into the sector was started. But four years since the announcement, bank aspirants are yet to be secure approval. Raghuram Rajan, who took charge as RBI chief in September 2013, has, however, expedited the process and is likely to announce the entry of new banks in the next few months.

EDITORIAL - POSTAL CRUSADER
UNITED WE STAND
TOGETHER WE CONQUER
Battle lines for a showdown of the Central Govt. Employees are drawn. Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & Workers and National Federation of Postal Employees (NFPE) had served notice for 48 hours strike on 2014 February 12th & 13th, to Cabinet Secretary and Secretary, Department of Posts respectively on 21st January 2014 alongwith 15 point Charter of demands.
The demands raised by the entire Central Govt. employees includes DA merger, Interim relief, Grant of civil servant status and inclusion of GDS in 7th CPC, Regularisation and revision of wages of casual labourers, Rescind PFRDA Act and scrap new Pension Scheme, Date of effect of 7th CPC 01-01-2014 & Five year wage revision in future, Fixation of minimum pay based on Need-based minimum wage formula worked out by 15th ILC and modified by Supreme Court later, settlement of anomalies, Implementation of Arbitration awards, five promotions, cashless hassle free medical facilities, Removal of restrictions on compassionate appointments, removal of bonus ceiling, stop downsizing, outsourcing, contractorisation, casualisation and privatisation, Filling up of vacant posts. Stop price rise and strengthen public distribution system. Right to strike, vacate victimisations and revive JCM forums are also included in the charter.
The neo-liberal economic policies pursued by the Central Govt. from 1991 onwards is threatening the very existence of Central Govt. departments. Many Govt. functions are already outsourced and some departments are at the verge of closure. Eventhough Govt. proclaim that there is no ban, six lakhs of vacant posts remain unfilled, out of which three lakhs are in Railways. Downsizing, contractorisation and privatisation has become the order of the day. Exploitation of three lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks of the Postal department and casual labourers is still continuing. Hard-earned statutory Pension of the Govt. employees has been snatched away and share market oriented New Pension Scheme is introduced. Both the congress-led UPA Govt. and BJP led Opposition NDA had joined together in the Parliament to pass the PFRDA Bill. Prices of all essential commodities has shooted up and grant of permission by the Govt. to oil companies to raise the prices of Petroleum products including Gas has further aggravated the situation. Life of the workers and common people has become miserable. To compensate the price rise and to prevent further erosion in the real wages. Govt. is not ready to grant DA merger or interim relief. Entire negotiating forums called JCM has become totally ineffective and defunct due to the negative attitude of the Government.
General Election to Parliament is going to be declared shortly. Parliament is in session upto the second or third week of February 2014 only. Once election is declared, we cannot expect any positive action from the Government till the end of 2014. Confederation has framed the charter of demands in its National Council held at Mumbai in 2010 December 1st& 2nd and submitted to Government in 2011. Series of Nationwide campaign and agitational programmes has been organised and a massive rally of about 20000 Central Govt. employees was conducted in front of Parliament on 26th July 2012. As the Government remained indifferent one day’s nation-wide strike was conducted on 12th December 2012 followed by two days strike on February, 20, 21 along with the Central Trade Unions. Strike ballot for indefinite strike was also declared in the month of August, 2013. Due to the agitations conducted by Confederation, Government was compelled to announce 7th Pay Commission in September, 2013, of course, with an eye on the votes of the Central Government Employees and Pensioners in the by-election to four states including Delhi.
Now four months are over since the announcement of the Prime Minister assuring constitution of Seventh CPC. Till this day the notification constituting the 7th CPC is not issued by the Government and the Chairman and other committee members are also not appointed. DA merger, Interim Relief and terms of reference are also pending. In fact, Government has fooled about 50 lakhs Central Government employees including defence personnel and 40 lakhs Central Government Pensioners. Nobody can tolerate this type of humiliation.
We cannot expect any positive action from the Government, unless and untill we organise ourselves in a decisive manner and go for a strike action. Central Government Employees have the potential to get their due rights from an unwilling Government. For that there is no short-cut. Unity and struggle is the only way. 2014 February 12th & 13th 48 hour strike will be an outburst of resentment and anger of the entire Central Government employees. Let us unite together and make the 48 hours strike a show of our uncompromising determination, courage and unity.

SPECIAL APPEAL FROM SECRETARY GENERAL, NFPE
Make the two days strike a thundering success in Postal
Dear Comrades,
Once again, NFPE and Confederation have taken the lead rising up to the occasion and have decided to go for 2 days Nationwide Strike on 2014 February 12th and 13th.
All of you know that the Government was compelled to declare 7th CPC only because of the struggles conducted by NFPE and Confederation including 2012 July 26th massive Parliament March and 12.12.2012 one day strike followed by 2 days National strike on February 20th & 21st, 2013 alongwith Central Trade Unions. Government has not constituted the 7th CPC till date and it is not ready to grant DA merger and interim relief. Further the Postal Board has made it clear that GDS will not be included under the purview of 7th CPC. Wage revision of casual labourers is long pending. Government is not ready to review its decision to impose contributory pension scheme on the employees joined service on or after 01.01.2004. Most of the anomalies of 6th CPC including MACP anomalies are still pending.
It is needless to say that unless and until we mobilize employees and go for Strike action Government will not be ready to concede any of our demands. General Election is going to be declared in the last week of February or first week of March 2014. Parliament will be in session only upto 14th February 2014, it is reported. Once the election is announced, we cannot expect any favourable decision from the Government. Even after election, no decision can be expected within 6 months of assumption of office by the new Government i.e till the end of December 2014.
Hence it is the right time to strike. If we miss the bus now we cannot catch it again and we will be blamed by the employees for our inaction. It is in this back ground NFPE & Confederation has taken the decision to organize 2 days strike when the Parliament is in session. Our main demands are DA merger, Interim relief, grant of Civil servant status and inclusion of GDS in 7th CPC, date of effect of 7th CPC from 01.01.2014, regularisation and revision of wages of casual labourers, rescind PFRDA Act and scrap new Pension scheme and settlement of anomalies. Other demands in 15 Point Charter of demands are equally important. Strike Notice will be served to cabinet secretary by Confederation and Secretary Department of Posts by NFPE and its affiliated organizations on 21.01.2014.
NFPE is the biggest affiliate of Confederation and it is our duty to ensure that 100% strike is organised in each and every Circle/Division. We should take the lead to organize other sections of the employees also especially Grameen Dak Sevaks. It is not known whether the so called recognised GDS union will follow the decision of NFPE. It has not given strike notice to secretary, Department of Posts during the 12th December 2012 strike organised by NFPE and Confederation.
AIPEU GDS (NFPE), the newly formed GDS Union of NFPE, has already decided to join in the strike and we are sure that even if the so called recognised union is not ready to follow NFPE and join the strike, GDS employees will definitely participate enmasse in this strike under the banner of NFPE and AIPEU GDS (NFPE). GDS demands are also the most important demands of the strike charter.
All of you are aware that NFPE and AIPEU GDS (NFPE) has filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court for implementation 1977 Supreme Court Judgment and grant of Civil Servant status plus other benefits of regular employees to the GDS. The supreme court has directed the Delhi High Court to consider the case and deliver judgment. The case came up for hearing in the Delhi High court on 15.01.2014 and it posted for next hearing on 07.05.2014.
Thus NFPE and AIPEU GDS (NFPE) are sincerely fighting for the cause of GDS both organizationally and legally.
The circular issued by NFPE and confederation are already sent to Circles/Divisions. I, on behalf of NFPE HQ, make this special appeal to you to act swiftly and without wasting a single minute. Please conduct intensive campaign in your Circle/Division and make the strike 100% success. Issue circulars with 15 point charter of demands in local language and circulate among all employees without fail. FNPO has also decided to go for strike on the same dates and on same demands and they will conduct their campaign separately.
This is the time to prove your ability as the leader of NFPE. This is the time to prove your capacity to organize a successful Strike. Let us take it as a challenge and make this strike a thundering success. History will remember only those who fight for the cause of our fellow comrades.
Remember the words of our great founder leader Com. Tarapada Mukherjee
“Take it from me, comrades, that petitions and memorandums and supplications will count for nothing so long as we do not organize ourselves in a manner to convince the Government ………… The ground is ready, only some daring spirits are wanted to sow the seed and reap abundant harvest”.
Comradely yours,
(M. Krishnan)
Secretary General
