RBI penalises 22 banks for money laundering, violating customer identification rules
July 16, 2013
Kalaivaraikalai
The Reserve Bank of India has imposed
penalties on State Bank of India,Punjab National Bank and 20 other
lenders for violating requirements on customer identification, in
probably the single biggest penalisation of the industry.
The banking regulator found non-adherence to norms at these banks in a
scrutiny of their books of accounts and internal control and compliance
systems in April 2013.
The money laundering charges levelled by online portal Cobrapost.com,
initially againstAxis Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank and extended to
many later, had prompted the central bank to investigate practices at
banks.
"After considering the facts of each case and individual bank's reply,
personal submissions, information submitted and documents furnished, the
Reserve Bank came to the conclusion that some of the violations were
substantiated and warranted imposition of monetary penalty," it said in a
statement issued on Monday.
Based on the findings, RBI issued show-cause notices to these banks
before imposing penalties ranging from Rs 0.50 crore to Rs 3 crore.
RBI's inquiry did not reveal any prima facie evidence of money
laundering. "However, any conclusive inference in this regard can be
drawn only by an end-to-end investigation of the transactions by tax and
enforcement agencies," it said.
The central bank found flaws in banks' customer identification
procedure, KYC practice for walk-in customers and sale of third party
products such as insurance and mutual funds. There were lapses in
monitoring of transactions in dormant accounts and in following
instructions on import of gold on consignment basis.
A dozen public sector and ten private banks were at the receiving end of
the regulator's stick. Seven banks including Bank of Baroda, Bank of
India and Federal Bank were fined Rs 3 crore each while Indian Overseas
Bank faced the highest penalty of Rs 3.002 crore. Foreign lender
Deutsche Bank was fined Rs 1 crore while Ratnakar Bank faced the lowest
fine of Rs 0.50 crore.
RBI had earlier imposed a Rs 10.5 crore penalty on Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, taken together.
The central bank let off seven other lenders, including BNP Paribas,
Citibank and Standard Chartered Bank, with just a warning as it found
their explanation satisfactory.

India post applied fullfledged Bank Licence in 2006. At that time Dr. USR was Secretary, Department of posts. RBI did not consider our requests then. Now the Government want to grant banking licence to public and private sector companies.
According to the Ministry of Finance, 26 Public and Private sector companies applied for banking licence, out of which, how many applicants are eligible for banking licence is not known. Further Finance Minister said that there was no ceiling on number of new bank licence. 3rd July 2013 RBI Governor gave a statement to the press that not all eligible applicants may get banking licence. In another statement of RBI it was stated that India Post is a part of Ministry it cannot be considered as a private sector entity. India posts will have to permit corporate entity to be eligible for banking licence. In other words the Government (Postal) Department, will not become under RBI Purview for banking licence.
At present in our nation we have 14+6=20 Nationalised banks besides this nationalized banks, Foreign banks and private banks are there. However these banks have no branches in rural areas. Though we have 24 million accounts in post office such as S/B
A/c, Mis A/c, NSS A/cs, PPF A/c, senior citizen savings scheme, Cumulative time Deposits, FD and NREGA. We cannot convert in all post office immediately for Banking operations.
Deutsche posts is successfully running the banks with co-operation of German Government and its communication Ministry. In our Country our union Government Finance Minister and RBI are not supporting post office whole heartedly.
Under these circumstances Dept. of Posts applied banking licence on 1-7-2013 and also moved the banking need with the Government providing Rs. 500 crores as seed capital to India Posts for licencing purpose. This is an immediate paid up capital required under the licence norm for banking licence to be granted by the RBI.
Even if RBI permit us to open post banking, whether we can compete with nationalized banks, co-operative banks and Foreign banks, or Tatas, Birlas & Ambani will allow us to run the post bank successfully is not known.
This is our doubt. Let us wait..

Curtains fall on India's telegram service, forever
Curtains came down today on the 163-year-old telegram service in the country - the harbinger of good and bad news for generations of Indians - amid a last minute rush of people thronging telegraph offices to send souvenir messages to family and friends.
A large people, many of them youngsters and first timers, turned up at four telegraph centres in the Capital which have almost been forgotten in recent years to send a message to their loved ones on the last day of the service.
Among them were housewifes, college students, morning joggers in track suits, old timers and office goers lining up, taking time off on a holiday. Some children, accompanied by parents, also sent their life's first and last telegram.
"This is the first time I am sending a telegram. It is for my 96-year-old grandfather who lives in a village near Trichy," Anand Sathiyaseelan, a lawyer by profession, said.
A manager in a real estate firm Vikas Arvind said he was sending greetings to his parents in Bareilly.
"This I hope they will keep it as a memorabilia," Arvind said.
"Hope all is well" and "An iconic service comes to an end" were among the messages sent today.
Once the fastest means of communication for millions of people, the end of the humble telegram service left behind a string of happy and bitter memories for people across the country.
The last telegram will be preserved as a museum piece.
the staff at the telegram counters were increased today in view of the anticipated rush.
Started in 1850 on an experimental basis between Kolkata and Diamond Harbour, it was opened for use by the British East India Company the following year. In 1854, the service was made available to the public.
It was such an important mode of communication in those days that revolutionaries fighting for the country's independence used to cut the telegram lines to stop the British from communicating.
Though started as a Morse code service, the telegram service evolved gradually with the use of computers. At the time of its death, it had become a web based telegraph mailing service (WBTMS) which used emails to instantly convey message to the other end.
Nudged out by technology --- SMS, emails, mobile phones -- the iconic service gradually faded into oblivion with less and less people taking recourse to it.
Old timers recall that receiving a telegram would be an event itself and the messages were normally opened with a sense of trepidation as people feared for the welfare of their near and dear ones.
For jawans and armed forces seeking leave or waiting for transfer or joining reports, it was a quick and handy mode of communication.

தனியார் துறையில் புதிய வங்கி உரிமம் பற்றி - RBI புதிய வங்கி உரிமம் விதிமுறைகளை இந்த ஆண்டு பிப்ரவரி மாதம் வெளியிட்டது. அதன் படி வங்கி உரிமம் பெற 26 விண்ணப்பதாரர்கள். அந்த விண்ணப்பதாரர்களில் இந்திய தபால் துறை, தொலை தொடர்பு மற்றும் தகவல் தொழில்நுட்ப அமைச்சகமும் ஓன்று ( India Post),
இந்தியா போஸ்ட் ஒரு அமைச்சகத்தின் ஒரு பகுதியாக இருப்பதால், இது ஒரு தனியார் நிறுவனம் என்று கருத முடியாது. ஒரு அரசு துறை இந்திய ரிசர்வ் வங்கி கீழ் வர முடியாது என்பதால், இந்திய ரிசர்வ் வங்கி விதிகளின்படி, ஒரு வங்கி உரிமம் தகுதி பெற, இந்தியா போஸ்ட், ஒரு நிறுவனம் ஆக வேண்டும். குறிப்பாக தனது பங்கினை விற்கவேண்டும்.
அதற்கு அவர்கள் கூறும் காரணம், வாடிக்கையாளர் விபரம் (KYC) அல்லது எதிர்ப்பு பணமோசடி நெறிகள் (Anti-Money laundering norms) அவர்கள் மீறியதாக தெரிந்தால் - எப்படி ஒழுங்குபடுத்தி இந்திய அரசு சார் நிறுவனத்திற்கு எதிராக தண்டனை விதிக்க முடியும் ? என்பது தான்.

Family members of missing Govt Employee eligible for Pension
July 03, 2013
Kalaivaraikalai
However, family members of those employees who disappear after committing frauds or crime, will not be entitled to pension.
Family members of a missing government employee or pensioner can get all benefits including pension, gratuity and leave encashment among others, the central government has said.
Family members of a government employee or pensioner kidnapped by
insurgents and terrorists will also be eligible to all monetary benefits
given by the government, according to a fresh set of instructions
issued last week by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.
However, family members of those employees who disappear after
committing frauds or crime etc. will not be entitled to pension or any
other benefits.
"In the case of a missing employee or pensioner or family pensioner, the
family can apply for the grant of family pension, amount of salary due,
leave encashment due and the amount of GPF
and gratuity (whatever has not already been received) to the Head of
Office of the organisation where the employee or pensioner had last
served, six months after lodging of police report," it said.
According to the direction, the family must lodge a report with the
concerned police station and obtain a report from the police, that the
employee or pensioner or family pensioner has not been traced despite
all efforts made by them.
"The report may be a First Information Report or any other report such as a Daily Diary or General Diary Entry," it said.
"An Indemnity Bond should be taken from the nominee or dependents of the
employee, pensioner or family pensioner that all payments will be
adjusted against the payments due to the employee, pensioner or family
pensioner in case she or he appears on the scene and makes any claim,"
it said in the direction issued to all central government ministries.
The retirement gratuity will be paid to the family within three months
of the date of application. In case of any delay, the interest shall be
paid at the applicable rates and responsibility for delay shall be
fixed.
The difference between the death gratuity and retirement gratuity shall
be payable after the death of the employee is conclusively established
or on the expiry of the period of seven years from the date of the
police report, it said.
"The amount of salary due, leave encashment due and the amount of GPF
will be paid to the family in the first instance as per the nominations
made by the employee or pensioner on filing of a police report and
submission of an indemnity bond," the directive said.
