  • Post to Payment Bank – Case Study of India Post on Financial Inclusion
    __________________________________________________________________ Post to Payment Bank – Case study of India Post on Financial Inclusion M. Neelakandan, Research Scholar, ISEC, Nagarabhavi, Bangalore 560072 Abstract Few of the sustainable development goals like ending poverty, reducing inequality and achieving gender equality could be attained through financial inclusion or inclusive finance. Financial Inclusion will inculcate saving habit and it will in turn help us to wipe out poverty and help the individual to move up to the next level of development in a sustainable way. At the end of the 10th five year plan India emerged as one of the fast growing economy, with a high GDP growth rate of 8%, but did not reflect an inclusive development, incorporating the development of marginalized poor and minorities. So during its eleventh five year plan, Government of India planned for inclusive growth through financial Inclusion, followed by formation of committee on Financial Inclusion. Banks and financial institutions were vested with responsibility of Financial Inclusion. It can act as a weapon to overcome financial backwardness of the under privileged and poor. Access to financial services plays a critical part in development by facilitating economic growth and reducing income inequality. Financial inclusion enables poor to save and to borrow for building their assets, to invest in their children education and entrepreneurial ventures, and thus to improve their livelihoods. Inclusive financial systems allow poor to insure them and help them to protect themselves from any economic vulnerabilities like illness, unemployment, accidents and theft. It is more likely to benefit disadvantaged groups such as women, unemployed and rural communities. In general Banks are known to be the institutions which provide financial services to people.

    On the cards: In a digital drive, India Post will now send PoS-man home Source: Financial Express Find the link of the news below: https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/technology/on-the-cards-in-a-digital-drive-india-post- will-now-send-pos-man-home/1100553/ Mumbai, March 16, 2018 With the department of post or India Post planning to equip postmen with point of sale (PoS) machines, you may soon be able to pay for a parcel with your debit card. X While the size of the bill Lyra will mail to India Post could not be immediately ascertained, anywhere between 1.5 and 2.1 lakh new PoS machines could be put to work. PoS machines cost anywhere between Rs 6,000 and Rs 10,000 apiece, though for such a large roll-out there are likely to be economies of scale. With the department of post or India Post planning to equip postmen with point of sale (PoS) machines, you may soon be able to pay for a parcel with your debit card. In what seems like a further push to the government’s digitisation agenda, as well as the Indian postal service’s own ambitions of becoming a bank, all postmen will be equipped to accept digital payments over the next three years. However, the project is expected to be rolled out within a matter of weeks, early in the new financial year. Having postmen carry PoS terminals ties in well with the postal department’s plan to roll out a full-service payments bank; it completes the arc that began when postmen were given micro-ATMs.

  • India Post Payments Bank Launched by PM Modi - GK Notes PDF!
    India Post Payments Bank Launched by PM Modi - GK Notes PDF! The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in its attempt to give impetus to financial inclusion in the country, has announced a new category of ‘niche’ or ‘differentiated’ banks. Two new types of banking systems have been introduced under this category, namely: Payment Banks and Small Banks. Let us try to understand what Payment Banks are and how the India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) will take banking to doorstep of every citizen through its vast postal network which was launched on 1st September by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The IPPB will aim to reach to every nook and corner of the country through its already well-established postal network, especially in rural areas. India Post Payments Bank As per RBI guidelines, the IPPB will be registered as a public limited company under the Companies Act, 2013 and licensed under Section 22 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, with specific licensing conditions. Their primary role of IPPB is to provide payment and remittance services to the people of the area they service. They are allowed to accept demand deposit, issue prepaid payment instruments, enable internet banking, and function as business correspondents to other banks. However, they cannot indulge in any lending or credit activities and will need to distinguish themselves from other banks by using “Payment” in their names. IPPB will drive financial inclusion and not only assist India’s growth but also will increase employment opportunities and empower the poor. Highlights of India Post Payments Bank 1 | P a g e The government owns 100% stake in IPPB, which is under set up under the aegis of the Department of Posts.
