Barclays Lenton got the first Tie-up with India Post Payments Bank (IPPB)
January 13, 2017
Kalaivaraikalai
MUMBAI: British lender Barclays today became the first bank to have a
national tie-up with the India Post which runs over 1,55,000 post
offices across the country.
Others like Deutsche Bank, Citi, HSBC, StanC and many other domestic
banks are also waiting for such a tie-up with the postal department
which recently secured a payments bank licence.
The tie-up with India Post allows Barclays to extend its services across
the 1,55,000 post offices across the nook and cranny of the country.
"This tie-up seeks to deepen our relationship with India Post and
significantly enhances our capability to service the needs of customers
who require remote area cash management and related banking services,"
Pushkaraj Gumaste, managing director and head of client coverage,
corporate and investment banking, at Barclays India told PTI.
He further said the tie-up allows the bank to access to parts of the country that its existing branch network doesn't cover.
Barclays has an already existing tie-up across Maharashtra, Kerala,
Karnataka and Gujarat allowing access to 40,000 post offices in these
states, the bank said in a statement today.
The India Post Payments Bank is set to launch soon and combined with the
India Post network, offers a compelling proposition by way of an
integrated branch network.
The tie-up gives Barclays access to a large network of collection points
and strengthens its cash management proposition for customers who
require remote area collection services in semi-urban and rural areas
such as finance companies for EMI collections, premium collections for
insurers and FMCG companies and consumer goods companies for dealer
collections.

PFRDA appoints Karvy as 2nd Central Record keeping Agency for NPS
January 11, 2017
Kalaivaraikalai
யார் பணத்தை யார் கையாளுவது ? - Karvy as 2nd Central Record keeping Agency
Subscribers of National Pension Scheme (NPS) will soon have an option to
choose Central Record keeping Agency as the sector regulator PFRDA has
appointed Karvy Computershare to offer such services.
Currently, NSDL e-Governance Infrastructure is the only CRA, which
establish an internal system that delivers compliance with standards for
internal organisation and operational conduct, with the aim of
protecting the interests of NPS subscribers and their assets.
“Karvy Computer share Pvt Ltd is currently at an advanced stage of CRA
system development and is expected to become operational in the near
future,” said the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority
(PFRDA).
Now there will be two CRAs operating in the NPS system – NSDL e-Governance Infrastructure and Karvy Compurtershare, it said.
Karvy was issued Certificate of Registration by the PFRDA in June last year.
“The choice of CRA can be made by the employer (existing or prospective)
between the existing CRA and the new CRA depending on the policy of
employer in case where there is employer-employee relationship,” the
regulator said.
Voluntary subscribers will have an option to choose a CRA while in the
case of NPS-Lite subscribers, the aggregator will decide on the CRA.
In case of government sector subscribers, the government will chose the CRA for rendering the services.
A CRA is responsible for recordkeeping, administration and customer
service functions for all NPS subscribers. The function includes
receiving instructions from subscribers through the points of presence,
transmitting such instructions to pension funds and effecting switching
instructions received from subscribers.
It acts as an operational interface between PFRDA and other NPS
intermediaries such as pension fund managers, annuity service providers,
and Trustee Bank.
As on November 30, 2016 there were about 1.4 crore subscribers under NPS with over Rs 1.61-lakh crore asset under management.

In Tamil Nadu, agitation Programme is being organised against the government decision of not including the Pongal Holiday in the list of Compulsory Holidays for the year 2017 for central government offices.
It is quite a surprise that some Political parties and Tamil Media are
telling that Central Government has removed the Pongal holidays from the
List of Compulsory Holidays for the year 2017.
Since 2009, there is no such order issued by DoPT (A Nodal Ministry for
Central government employees) that includes Pongal festival in the List
of Compulsory Holidays. The Orders for Central Government Holidays from
the year 2009 are available in DOPT website
The Holiday for the Festivals which are celebrated in States shall be
decided by the Central Government Employees Welfare Coordination
Committee in the State Capitals, if necessary, in consultation with
Coordination Committees at other places in the State from the list of
restricted Holidays declared by central government. There are three such
Holidays can be decided by State Coordination committees or Co
