Union Minister for Communications and IT Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad on April 2, inaugurated the first ATM at Department of Posts, in General Post Office premises, Bangalore. It is the first an ATM will go live in Karnataka Postal Circle.

Speaking on the occasion, Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said the need of the hour was for the Department of Posts to think a little out of box. “The Department of Posts should be ready to meet the three benchmarks – ensuring delivery of letters (post), money orders and parcels on time. It has to utilise its wide network for better performance and revenue,’’ Prasad said.

Praising MS Ramanujam, chief post master general, for taking measures to provide an ATM and other services in Karnataka Postal Circle, the minister said that the Department of Posts should make an attempt to increase revenue. “You have done a good job of associating with Department of Tourism which has agreed to find a sponsor for maintaining the heritage building of Postal Department on Museum Road,’’ he said.

 The following are features of the ATM service:

• The Department of Posts will issue ATM cards free of cost
• Card holders can transact from any DOP ATMs in the country
• Instant ATM cards will be issued at the Post Offices
• Personalised cards will be issued within 15 to 20 days
• The ATM will function from 8 am to 8 pm
• The service will be available only for post office account holders

Circular No. 23/2013-16                                                                                          Dated – 02.04.2015

Dear Comrade,

We invite your kind attention to the synopsis of the discussions the staff side had with the 7^th CPC on 23^rd and 24^th March, 2015. You will notice there from that the discussions were cordial and the staff side had been able to present their case admirably well.  You must have also noticed that the 7thCPC has categorically stated that they would go by Dr. Aykhrod formula in arriving at the minimum wage. However, they were a little skeptical of the rates quoted by us.  As you are aware we have taken the rates from the information we have collected through our units in the 8 Metro Cities.  Since this is likely to be the bane of contention at the time of finalization of the report, we must be able to establish that the rates other than the one we had submitted is not acceptable to us being bereft of the benefit of retail prices ruling at the relevant point of time.  In order to bolster our argument, we would like our leaders especially in the following cities and in other places to purchase the following articles from a reputed Mall as also from a normal provision store with bills duly signed by the owners of the retail outlet and send over to the Confederation CHQ immediately. The bill should bear the signature, the rate per kg. and the signature or seal of the concerned establishment.  Please treat this as most urgent and a task of serious nature for the rates adopted  by the 7^th CPC will have far reaching consequences if not contested at the appropriate time. 

With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

Sd/-
