''Post Offices have been successful as payment banks'' : RBI Director

MUMBAI:  RBI director Nachiket Mor has said that world over post offices have been successful as "payment banks". IndiaPost is an applicant for a banking licence and a panel headed by Mor on financial inclusion has recommended creation of specialized "payment banks" which can open accounts, cash cheques and remit funds without engaging in lending.

Speaking on the sidelines of ET Edge's Financial Inclusion Summit 2014, Mor said that world over there are many successful payment banks. "In South Korea, for example, the post office bank is a payment bank. How does this become viable? It becomes viable on transactions, it does not make money on deposits," said Mor. On IndiaPost's application seeking a bank licence from the RBI, Mor said: "I don't want to speak specifically about India Post itself, what I'm saying is worldwide post offices have been very effective as payments banks."

India Post diversifies to cope with changing times

Chennai: With major postal services in the world phasing out door-to-door delivery of mail, the top brass of the postal department has said the future of India Post lay with parcel delivery services.

“Australia’s postal service, for example, has mo­re parcel deliveries than mail. In the same manner, if our e-commerce pi­cks up, most of the peo­p­le will make use of India Post (IP) since we are the only players to have the widest possible network, and IP will still have a chance to stay al­ive,” said Mervin Alex­a­nder, post master gen­e­ral, Chennai circle.

The department is, ho­w­ever, constantly engaging with people through its philatelic activities and special initiatives, like ‘My Stamp’, of wh­ich it has sold over 5,000 models. “We are aware of the fact that letters will start to dwindle in the coming decades.
