Head to a post office for a vehicle loan

The next time you plan to get a loan for a new two or three-wheeler, walk to the nearest post office. The Department of Posts has tied up with Bajaj Auto Finance Limited to assist in financial enquires about loans.

In yet another attempt to reinvent itself and connect to customers, post offices will now offer services to provide details about the finance option available through brochures. Officials of the postal department said post offices would act as an intermediary and provide information on various two- and three-wheeler loan schemes and offers.

Of the 400 post offices chosen in the Tamil Nadu circle for the facility, nearly 100 post offices are in the city.

The service will be extended to other e-payment-enabled post offices depending on the performance.

Customers who apply through post offices would get a discount in processing fee and also a waiver in rate of interest for the loan obtained.

Patronage-based
Pointing out that Kerala postal circle was already accepting monthly instalments, officials said such measures would be adopted based on the patronage of the service.

Among the retail services, payment of electricity bills and reservation of railway tickets are among the most-sought ones. Post offices are also involved in sales of various products such as solar lamps and Penta mobiles.

Officials said last year, the department earned revenue of Rs.3.5 crore through retail services.

Unilateral decision by Govt will not be accepted – Staff Side JCM

7th Pay Commission Latest News – Unilateral decision by Govt will not be accepted – Staff Side JCM writes to Govt for conducting negotiation with Staff Side Associations before taking a decision on 7th Pay Commission recommendations

Though the central government employees are ardently waiting for the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission, reports suggest that it will not be done before the results for the Assembly elections are announced. If reports are to be believed then the proposal of minimum pay of 24,000 will be taken into consideration and the reasonable expectations of central government employees will be met while announcing the salary hikes in accordance with the 7th pay commission.
According to a Zee news report, “Other than the pressure of trade unions, the results of the Assembly election in five states, West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Pondicherry, are likely to have an influence on the final pay out.
The notification towards implementation of the seventh pay commission will be announced only after the result of the elections. If the mandate goes totally in favour of the Opposition, the government will be under greater pressure to keep the dissatisfaction related to salalry hike in check.”
‘No unilateral decision on salary hikes under 7th Pay Commission acceptable’ The central government employees lead by the National Council (Staff Side) Joint Consultative Machinery have said that they will not accept unilateral decision on salary hikes under the seventh Pay Commission and would like to have more say in the way their monthly salaries and allowances are shaped up by the Empowered Committee of Secretaries. “Neither did the Government side made any commitment on any demands, nor did they indicate in the minutes that further discussion will be held with the staff side to arrive at a negotiated settlement on each demands.
It seems that the Modi Government is moving ahead to issue unilateral orders taking the staff side for a ride”, M Krishnan, Secretary General of the central government employees confederation was quoted as saying in the Zee report. “The staff side on the other hand has taken a position that if unilateral orders are issued, without taking the staff side into confidence, the NJCA shall go ahead with the indefinite strike from 11th July 2016 as already informed to the government”, Krishnan further added in the report.
An empowered committee of Secretaries was formed under the Cabinet Secretary to process the recommendations of the pay panel.
This committee also invited the Joint Consultative Machinery which is the group representing the Staff side (central employees union) to understand their view point. The central employees union has clearly said that they will not accept any unilateral decision on the issue and needs a bilateral negotiation on the matter.

India Post goes high-tech, geo-tags post offices on Bhuvan

New Delhi, May 15 (PTI) As emails and SMSes become the order of the day, the good-old Postal Department is going hi-tech by geo-tagging the post offices and has begun monitoring timely clearance of the letter boxes through a mobile app.
In collaboration with the Department of Space, India Post has geo-tagged over 1.5 lakh post offices on the indigenous geo-portal Bhuvan, developed by ISRO, to help people search the nearest post office and know about services and timings.
India Post has over 1.55 lakh post offices of which more than 1.39 lakh are in the rural areas. An official in Communications and IT Ministry said that the remaining post offices would also be geo-tagged soon on Bhuvan, a Hindi word for universe.
The initiative is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modis drive to use space technology by various departments of the government, he added.
"More than 1,50,000 post offices have been geotagged and their exact location on a GIS satellite imagery map along with photograph, services and office timings etc have been made available on the portal," he added.
Bhuvan, developed by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is providing visualisation services and earth observation data to users in public domain.
Bhuvan, started in 2009 with simple display of satellite data and basic GIS functionality, now has more than 6,000 map services which are being used under various applications.
Regarding other achievements of India Post in the last two years, the official said core banking solution (CBS) for providing anywhere banking has been rolled out in 21,319 post offices, covering more than 30 crore Post Office savings bank accounts.
Besides, 910 post office ATMs have been installed across the country.
"A mobile app is being used for monitoring timely clearance of letter boxes in more than 16 cities," he added.

Central government ministries and departments will now be rewarded for successful implementation of e-Office or 'paperless office' initiative

  New Delhi, May 15 (PTI)

Central government ministries and departments will now be rewarded for successful implementation of e-Office or 'paperless office' initiative. The move is aimed at improving the ease of governance and expediting the administrative process.

 Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office Jitendra Singh has written to all ministers to take urgent action to shift to paperless functioning mode in a time bound manner. "It is one of the priority works of the government. We are writing to all ministers for going paperless. The e-Office will help in speeding up administrative work and result in saving money for the exchequer," he told PTI. 

Singh said those doing exemplary work in this project may be given awards for excellence in public administration, which are given annually by the Prime Minister on civil services day. In his letter, the Minister said one of the agendas of the minimum government-maximum governance is to adopt e-Office in all government functioning for achieving the goal of governance with accountability, transparency and innovation (GATI), which is the sine-qua-non for achieving Prime Minister's Mission of PRAGATI. 

The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances is providing financial assistance for implementation of e-Office initiative. "In order to give encouragement towards implementation of e-Office across central ministries or departments, the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) is also providing financial assistance for implementation of e-Office based realistic estimates duly vetted by National Informatics Centre (NIC). "It is also finalising a scheme for awarding better performing Ministries and Departments in e-Office," the letter reads. 


The DARPG acts as nodal authority for the implementation of e-Office in central ministries with the help of the technical partner NIC. "It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Panchayati Raj has completely transformed itself to an e-Office platform, while the Ministry of Rural Development is close to achieving it," the letter said, citing works done by the two government departments.

Bajaj Auto Finance inks pact with India Post

Motorcycle finance company Bajaj Auto Finance has entered into an arrangement with post offices across India to enable buyers get information through brochures available at post offices, as well as apply for two-wheeler loans from the company.
Subsequently, customers can also make loan repayments by depositing money in post offices.
The project is being launched with Tamil Nadu as pilot/nodal office and the arrangement will initially be rolled out across 18 locations in the State, Bajaj Auto said in a statement.
Pradeep Srivastava, Executive Director, Bajaj Auto, said: “By joining up with India Post we intend to reach all our customers in the remotest corners of the country.”
Charles Lobo, Chief Postmaster General, TN Circle, India Post, said: “Bajaj has been one of the brands and names we have associated ourselves with for ages. We hope to take this initiative to great heights by delivering easy and convenient finance options to our customers through all our post offices.”

Soon, Ready to submit income tax return copy to get LPG subsidy

The IT Act forbids the income tax department from sharing income details of an assessee unless the Central government specifies an officer, authority or body to receive the data to perform his or its functions under a law.Soon you will have to submit a copy of your income tax return (ITR) every year to the LPG dealer to claim subsidy on cooking gas cylinders.
With the voluntary GiveItUp scheme not making much progress, the Petroleum Ministry has asked the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to include the ministry as a recipient of ITRs under the Income Tax Act so that it could weed out those with annual income above Rs 10 lakh from the subsidy scheme.
“The information related to taxable income of LPG consumers is critical to implement the decision to exclude consumers belonging to higher income group from availing subsidy, and this information on taxable income of LPG consumers is required every year,” the ministry wrote to the CBDT last week.
“Considering the above, it is requested that the Ministry may be notified under Section 138 of the Income Tax Act to obtain information related to taxable income of LPG consumers in the public interest,” it added.
The IT Act forbids the income tax department from sharing income details of an assessee unless the Central government specifies an officer, authority or body to receive the data to perform his or its functions under a law.
Currently, authorities implementing the Foreign Exchange Management Act, Prevention of Money Laundering Act, Serious Fraud Investigation Office and the National Food Security Act are among the few that have this permission.
Last December, the NDA government had announced that taxpayers with an annual income of more than Rs 10 lakh will not get subsidised LPG cylinders and that the scheme was to be implemented under “self-declaration basis” while booking cylinders from January 2016 onwards.
A government official said that nearly 70 lakh people had given up the subsidy under GiveItUp scheme since it was launched in March 2015, but a majority of them included consumers who had shifted to piped natural gas or are officials of state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs).
“There are very few with income exceeding Rs 10 lakh who have provided affidavits and surrendered their LPG subsidy,” he said. “And the current available mechanism does not provide for collecting ITR from consumers to ascertain their taxable income.”
In a separate letter to marketing heads of the three OMCs, the ministry has modified its December 2015 order saying that those who are excluded from LPG subsidy in one year could be included the next year provided they furnish ITR showing that their annual income had fallen below Rs 10 lakh.
“Similarly, a consumer, otherwise receiving subsidy, will become ineligible to claim subsidy as and when taxable income of self or spouse is more than Rs 10 lakh in the subsequent financial year,” it wrote to director (marketing) of Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum.

Government assures modernisation of postal services

New Delhi, May 11 (IANS) The faceless postman -- once portrayed poetically by Rabindranath Tagore -- and the need to revamp the postal services in the country figured prominently during question hour in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
Answering supplementary questions from members, Telecom Minister Ravi ShankarPrasad, who holds charge of the department of posts, said efforts are on "to make use of the vast network of postal platform all over the country for better growth and financial inclusion".
He said at the directive of Prime Minister Narendra Modi , the government is working hard to reinforce the infrastructure, connectivity and modernisation programme of the postal services and substantial progress has been made since 2014. 
"Nearly 21,000-plus branches (of post offices) have been given core banking solution in only two years. It was only 230 in 2014. I am not saying that everything has been done," he said, adding that his ministry will also give "hand-held device to all postmen across India by March 2017".
Raising supplementaries, Trinamool Congress member Pratima Mondal recalled Nobel laureate Tagore's famous short story where the chief protagonist is a postman and also the film of maestro Satyajit Ray.

"We have noticed the importance of post office in village life. At the same time we have noticed the indescribable condition of rural post offices. We are in 2016, but no remarkable development has taken place in the infrastructure of post offices," she said.
Congress member Jyotiraditya Scindia recalled how during the previous UPA regime steps were taken to provide allowances to postmen for maintaining their shoes, dress, etc.
Prasad said during his visits to the rural areas, he discovered that even though writing of letters has decreased due to advancement of technology, the growth of e-commerce has again reinforced the importance of delivery men employed by the private companies.
Prasad said computerisation of post office branches in villages and small towns has enhanced the prestige of postal staff.
Bharatiya Janata Party member S.S. Ahluwalia asked the telecom minister to initiate action against a television commercial that shows postmen showing respect to the rich and hurling insults at the poor.
Prasad said he has seen the advertisement and would bring it to the notice of Information and Broadcasting Minister Arun Jaitley as television advertisements come under the domain of the I&B ministry.
