Former Finance Minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government said private investment had shrunk "as never before in two decades" while industrial production had all but collapsed."Agriculture is in distress, construction industry, a big employer of the workforce, is in the doldrums, the rest of the service sector is also in the slow lane

FORMER Finance Minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government said private investment had shrunk "as never before in two decades" while industrial production had all but collapsed."Agriculture is in distress, construction industry, a big employer of the workforce, is in the doldrums, the rest of the service sector is also in the slow laneYashwant Sinha, senior BJP leader, today ruffled the feathers of union government with his strong critique on the state of Indian economy. According to Sinha, the economy is heading towards a "hard landing". However, BJP has rejected Sinha's piece, while the Congress has hailed his analysis.
Sinha, who has now estranged from the BJP, was the Finance Minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government. In his piece for the Indian Express, Sinha said, Prime Minister Modi "claims he has seen poverty from close quarters (and) his Finance Minister (Arun Jaitley) is working over-time to make sure that all Indians also see it from equally close quarters".
Illustrating the picture of the economy today, Sinha said private investment had shrunk "as never before in two decades" while industrial production had all but collapsed.
"Agriculture is in distress, construction industry, a big employer of the work force, is in the doldrums, the rest of the service sector is also in the slow lane, exports have dwindled, sector after sector of the economy is in distress."
He singled out demonetisation, saying spiking large currency notes "has proved to be an unmitigated economic disaster" which coupled with "a badly conceived and poorly implemented GST" has played havoc with businesses and sunk many of them.
HEAVY BURDEN
The outspoken Sinha noted that Jaitley, who also holds the department of disinvestment and Department of Corporate Affairs and earlier held the Defence Ministry, was carrying the "heavy burden" of many extra responsibilities and it was "perhaps too much to expect from" him.
Sinha said he was speaking about the mess after realizing that "I shall be failing in my national duty if I did not speak up even now".
"I am also convinced that (it) reflects the sentiments of a large number of people in the BJP and elsewhere who are not speaking up out of fear."
Congress leader and former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram lauded Sinha's critique, saying he was absolutely correct when he wrote that "instilling fear in the minds of the people is name of the new game".
Chidambaram said the Congress had assiduously exposed the "many weaknesses and a terrible mismanagement" of the economy.
SINHA ECHOED OUR CRITICISM
"We are happy that Yashwant Sinha has echoed our criticism," said Chidambaram, who added: "It is not often that from this platform the principal opposition party will welcome a statement of a veteran leader of the ruling party."
Chidambaram said Sinha's views were not different from what MPs belonging to the BJP and other parties "have told us since many months privately and in soft whispers".
He said it was a sad commentary on the times that MPs were afraid to reflect what they see and hear around them, especially in their constituencies. "Yet we call ourselves a free country."
Chidambaram said it were not only MPs who have become silent. "We have witnessed numerous examples of news reports and articles being pulled out before publication; of television interviews being taken off air; of scheduled talks at universities being cancelled; of social activists being investigated on trumped up charges; of editors and reporters being unceremoniously sacked; of academics and scholars being threatened; of judges being indirectly punished; and, most tragically, of authentic voices of the people being silenced by brutal killings."
NOBODY DARES TO ASK QUESTIONS
Chidambaram said at least a dozen BJP MPs have "spoken to us" in the Central Hall and in committees about the economy. "Nobody dares to ask questions. An MP from Maharashtra who raised questions was asked to shut up. In this atmosphere of fear, if Sinha speaks up then he is speaking the truth."
The government rejected Sinha's criticism, saying the world acknowledged that India "is one of the fastest growing economies".
"No one should forget it. Our image at the international level is very strong," Home Minister Rajnath Singh told reporters.
Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said Prime Minister Modi has given the "cleanest government" and had attacked black money and corruption like no one else has done

POSTAL LIFE INSURANCE RULES 2011 - ADDITION TO SUB RULE (10) OF RULE 6

POSTAL LIFE INSURANCE RULES 2011 - ADDITION TO SUB RULE (10) OF RULE 6


Postman may soon become the point of contact for all your financial work : A News from The Economic Times

Postman may soon become the point of contact for all your financial work : A News from The Economic Times

Your postman may soon become the point of contact for all your financial work. Read how
NEW DELHI: Come 2018 and the humble postman will be armed with a high-tech device that will enable him to carry out various financial transaction at the door step of people. 
The India Post Payment Bank, which plans to launch nationwide operations by March 2018, is coming up with a large contract to source such devices for more than 1.5 lakh postmen. 
The equipment, a micro-ATM of sorts, will have a biometric reader, a printer and a debit card and credit card reader attached to it. A tender for 2 lakh such devices is almost ready and will be released in a month’s time, India Post Payment Bank chief executive AP Singh told ET. Hewlett Packard Enterprise has already been chosen to build the backend for India Post Payment Bank as a system integrator. 
“The idea is to streamline and focus on payments through the bank. We have identified close to one dozen payments, including utility bills such as gas and electricity, mobile, DTH, school fees, etc.”, which the payments bank will seek to facilitate, Singh said. India Post is working on an app that will enable these payments. 
It will also allow booking of bus and unreserved train tickets, categories which are highly cash dependant. “Even small payments such as for fruits and vegetable, and welfare payment transfers under the direct benefits transfer scheme are on the radar,” said Singh. 
“We have to focus on payments rather than deposits,” said Singh. Reserve Bank of India rules don’t allow payments banks to take deposits, the key and cheap source of funds for conventional banks. To generate revenue, India Post Payment Bank will charge each payment transaction that happens through its app, either from the customer or the bill company, Singh said. 
“The Post Office already has 35 crore accounts, we are targeting around 8 crore households in the next five years (as customers for the payments bank).” 
At a recent UN conference, Singh had said while private sector rivals such as Paytm and Airtel Payments Bank would skim the market from the top, India Post would have a bottoms up approach. Arming the postman with the micro-ATM and turning him into a sort of a banking correspondent may be part of the plan to target rural and the semi-urban areas. 
“The micro ATM and the banking correspondent model has been tried and may help in turning cash into digital at the last leg, even though it may take some time,” said Vivek Belgavi, partner and India FinTech Leader at PwC. 
In a village, the nearest bank branch may be 10-25 kms away and the India Post, with its huge network of post offices and postmen, may be able to effectively cater to that audience, he added. The proposed India Post app will allow person-to-person transactions. 
In the dozen key bill payments it is targeting, those who aren’t familiar with operating an app on their own can approach the postmen armed with micro-ATMs to help them make payments. 
Meanwhile, as opposed to the earlier plan of having separate branches for the payment bank, India Post is looking to capitalise on the existing network of 1.55 lakh post offices and 3 lakh employees on the postal network.

UPU World Postal Chief Executives Forum develops “clear vision for postal transformation”

Thursday, September 21st, 2017
The Universal Post Union (UPU) has reported that postal chief executives have wrapped up their discussions at the second annual UPU World CEO Forum in Moscow with a “clear vision for postal transformation”.
The event, organized by the UPU and hosted by Russian Post between 17-19 September, gathered nearly 60 postal chief executives from around the globe to discuss “Leading multidimensional growth: the hows and whys of postal strategy”.
“After gathering our CEOs for a second time, it is clear that this forum is a vital space for our postal executives to put their heads together to find ways to drive the sector forward. With participants from all corners of the world represented at this forum, we have heard a diversity of proven strategies that CEOs can take back to their Posts,” said UPU Director General Bishar A. Hussein.
Russian Post CEO Nikolay Podguzov added: “The CEO Forum is a great place for exchanging thoughts on important topics and to meet our partners. We thank the UPU for this opportunity. We met here with our colleagues from Slovenian Post. Today we started test shipments from China to Slovenia via Mongolia by railroad. The first bulk of parcels and small packets reached Ulaanbaatar by truck, and then reloaded onto an RZD carriage to Moscow. After that the dispatches will be delivered to Slovenia by trucks.”
This year’s forum guided CEOs through the process of diagnosing the global environment in which Posts operate; examined how they are currently delivering stakeholder needs; and considered potential business models they could implement at their respective Posts.
In a statement sent to Post&Parcel today (21 January), the UPU said: “It became clear that growth of the economy and trade, changing demographics, the e-commerce explosion were all broad factors affecting the Post. These factors – in combination with customers’ desire for immediate, personalized digital services and government stipulations for universal service – have created both challenges and opportunities for the Post.
“CEOs noted that pressure from governments to deliver some services at a loss coupled with a lack of government investment in postal infrastructure, as well as limitations in managing capital, made it difficult for them to transform their service offering. In addition to this, they remarked on the challenge of raising employees’ awareness of the need for transformation. It became clear that some developing countries also faced the challenge of serving two different customers: the internet-connected urban client and the rural one relying on traditional paper-based services.
“Despite the challenges, postal executives were quick to name potential solutions. For example, CEOs suggested that Posts work with governments to redefine their universal service obligation and increase awareness of the Post’s potential as a driver of socioeconomic sustainability. Another proposal was integrating employees more into the transformation process—whether through retraining or the creation of new positions—so that they become advocates of change within the Post.
“Postal leaders later examined specific business models they could use, discussing several dichotomies seen in successful postal strategies, namely margin-based vs. volume-based focus, progressive growth vs. leapfrogging, mono-product vs. diversification and competition vs. coopetition approaches.
“It was clear that spaces created by the UPU, such as the CEO Forum, would be important to give postal leaders the opportunity to benchmark. The UPU Director General reminded CEOs that the UPU was available to them to help countries define and redefine their universal service obligation, as well as to provide governments, regulators and operators with technical solutions and assistance toward postal infrastructure development.
“The UPU has already started preparations for the 2018 edition of the forum, announcing Turkey as the next host country. The UPU Director General said he was confident that next year’s event would be just as successful after Turkey’s seamless hosting of the 2016 Universal Postal Congress in Istanbul. The exact timing of the 2018 forum will be announced by the UPU at a later date.”
