Instructions for handling RD Default Fee for Oct.2015 in case of RD Accounts attached to MPKBY Agents and PRSG Leaders in CBS Offices.
Copy of directorate's eMail
Respected Sir/Madam
I am directed to inform that due to problems in accessing Agent Portal, many MPKBY Agents and PRSG Leaders could not prepare their RD LOTs in the portal from last week of Oct. 2015. Relaxations were given to accept their LOTs in the EXCEL sheet for regular deposits and at the counter through CRDP menu for default/rebate/POSB cases on 30th and 31st Oct. 2015.
This office is receiving representations and references for waiving off the default fee for Oct.2015 for those accounts which the agents still not able to present up to 31st Oct. of Post Offices were not able to accept business through EXCEL sheet or at the counter due to paucity of time.
It has been decided by the competent authority that CBS Post Offices may waive default fee in such genuine cases. For this, CBS Post Office has to take following action:-
1. Write Error Book mentioning name and agency number of the agent and amount of default fee not taken.
2. Since, Finacle will charge default fee, the amount to be waived should be noted at the end of the RD Consolidation and only RD Default fee collected at the counter (from general public) should be entered in the SB Cash/CSI System (in Mysore Division only).
3. Copy of agent list of such accounts should be kept in a guard file. (list should have Date, Agent ID, Account number, Default fee waived)
This process can be followed till all the agents are able to deposit their funds for the month of Oct. 2015. For any account being presented or included in the list where system is calculating default fee for Nov. 2015 default fee should not be waived.
Regards,

Indians still prefer post office schemes
Post office savings schemes, a traditional favourite with Indians, are likely to retain their popularity, despite the launch of various schemes by banks and the government, including the Pradhan Mantri Bima Suraksha and Jeevan Jyoti. However, it is still too early to arrive at any conclusion.
“Post office savings are traditionally used by the masses who cannot get access to banks. It will continue to be popular and flourish with the addition of more technology like those offered by bank,” Kavery Benarjee, secretary, department of posts, told HT.
Going forward, India Post will introduce core banking services across India. The service is currently available only in select post offices.
“The growth in accounts is reflection of the faith and trust that consumers have on us despite banks opening new branches and introducing new schemes,” Banerjee said.
Post office schemes are attractive since only 5% of the corpus is invested in savings account. The remaining 95% is put in monthly income schemes and long-term deposits with higher rate of interest, she said.
Moreover, the new schemes introduced by the government are being extended to post office savings account holders.
Most of the Jan Surkasha schemes are already available at post offices. Post office account holders will also be able to subscribe to the Atal Pension Yojana (APY) in the next 4-5 days without any overdraft facility, similar to the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna.
“We are not mandated to give overdraft facility,” Banerjee said.
Account holders will be given ATM cards, besides availing money-transfer facility and anywhere anytime banking.
Banerjee is also confident that account holders will be able to encash a certificate anywhere in India within 15-20 minutes.
