Corporation Bank not geared up to handle government-business like PPF accounts

Corporation Bank not geared up to handle government-business like PPF accounts

आर्थिक
Applications-form for opening new Public Provident Fund PPF account is Corporation Bank is wrongly designed with a provision of Joint Accounts. But PPF accounts are not opened in joint-names, thus confusing both the applicants and the bank-officials wasting man-hours in hit and trial to open PPF accounts. Ultimately the accounts were opened in individual names. Moreover while all other banks like State Bank of India have provision to provide pass-books for PPF accounts, issuing of pass-book could not be possible for a 20-digit PPF account-number while passbook-printer and software at the bank is designed to handle only 15-digit account-number. Corporation Bank headquarters should look into the problem by modifying the form and the software to print PPF passbook. Moreover there are useless ...

Reserve Bank of India in an RTI response dated 03.09.2009 had mentioned that RBI does not approve policy of foreclosure-charges on pre-payment of loans, but keeping short of issuing any directives. But subsequently foreclosure-charges in respect of home-loans were abolished by an RBI directive dated 05.06.2012 but only in respect of banks and not for Non-Banking-Financial-Companies (NBFC). However NBFCs themselves abolished foreclosure-charges in respect of home-loans due to their competition with banks in loan-business. RBI through its circular dated 07.05.2014 abolished foreclosure-charges for all types of loans given by banks to individuals followed by another circular dated 14.07.2014 abolishing foreclosure charges being charged by NBFCs from individuals also but only on loans with fl...

Amend rules for packaged commodities

Department of Consumer Affairs should amend the rules whereby it may be compulsory to pack all commodities in true metric-spirit in units of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 gms or mltrs or ltrs or kgs or units only so that consumer may judge comparative prices of a commodity marketed by different companies. Any liberty to pack in units other than suggested ones gives manufacturers cheat consumers through gimmick packaging. Drug-manufacturers cheat consumers through gimmick packaging by packing commonly advertised medicines like cough-lozenges in eight per strip rather than normal ten because consumers judge prices per strip without realising number of lozenges per strip. It is necessary that suggested metric-system of packaging may be applicable on medicines also unless exemption is ...

Date of birth on marriage-cards: Accountability and transparency required in marriage-related expenses

A District Collector of Bharatpur (Rajasthan) in the year 2012 made it compulsory to print dates of birth on marriage-cards, making it mandatory for printing-presses to first getting attested birth-certificates to avoid sealing of printing-press. Such and other noble ideas should be rather made compulsory all over the country for an effective check on marriage-related social evils. An estimated outlay of marriage-expenditure mentioning number of guests should also be printed on marriage-cards. When citizens demand accountability and transparency from government, they should also themselves be made transparent in marriage-related expenses to effectively check large-scale involvement of unaccounted money in marriages. List of gifts and cash-envelopes received/distributed on the occasions ...

BJP led central government should honour Swamy Shraddhanand by declaring his martyrdom day of 25th December as gazetted holiday to respect sentiments of millions of Arya Samajists, without practically adding a holiday because the day is already a holiday for Christmas Day. The building where Swami Shraddhanand breathed his last is in congested Shraddhanand Marg (Naya Bazar) of Old Delhi. Government should acquire this building to convert into a national monument in memory of this great freedom-fighter whose activities were of prime importance not only for the freedom struggle but also for uplift of downtrodden, dalits and women. Swami Shraddhanand though being disciple of Arya-Samaj-founder Mahrishi Dayanand Saraswati, was an icon of national integration against British regime. He was t...

Ruling BJP gets 95-percent of electoral bonds pie: Bonds should carry names of donors

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Ruling BJP at the centre cornered major 95-percent share of total contributions made to various political parties through electoral bonds in the fiscal-year 2017-18. It is quite evident any ruling party will be getting major share of such opaque contribution because of contributors getting favours from the ruling party by themselves remaining anonymous. Contributions made to political parties should be perfectly transparent and cashless. Electoral bonds must carry names of contributors to prevent these as indirect and legalised bribing to ruling party. With central government motivating even small payments through digital banking like Bhim-app PayTM etc, ideal is to ultimately totally ban cash-contribution to any political party, with initially restricting it to rupees one hundred rather t...

But bitter fact is that general public is kept out of such celebrations through issue of commemorative coins, because silver-alloy coins are now not issued to general public on its face-value. Silver-alloy commemorative coins for first time after independence issued on 02.10.1969 to commemorate Gandhi Birth Centenary was available at face-value of rupees ten at a time when value of silver-content in the coin was much ...
