National Postal Policy 2012

Dear Comrades,

National Postal Policy 2012

Draft

Department of Posts

Ministry of Communications and information Technology,

Government of India

Preamble

Postal services originated out of the need for conveying the written word. They evolved over the ages, and grew in scope, spread and complexity. The post, today, is a ubiquitous network which serves the world by connecting individuals and communities, promoting trade and commerce, and reaching financial services to the common man.

Despite the advent of the digital revolution, post is still the most economical and accessible among the different modes of communication available to the public. The mandate of the postal sector is three dimensional - being a channel for moving information, goods and money. This mandate makes postal services a tool of development, an enabler of commerce and a facilitator of the aspirations of the people.

Court orders General Post Office to compensate account holder

Dear Comrades,

The Senior Post Master at the General Post Office in Sector 17 has been directed by the UT Consumer Forum to compensate a HUF account holder whose account was extended without his permission for a period of five years, but who was denied interest on the amount deposited in the account. 

The complainant, Ram Niwas Singal, a resident of Sector 15, had a PPF (Public Provident Fund) account as Karta (custodian) of HUF (Hindu Undivided Family), which was transferred from Hisar to Chandigarh in December 1999. It matured in April 2005 and the bank extended the account of Singal for a further period of 5 years. He was not asked to fill and sign any form pertaining to that, but the subscription of Singal was accepted upto March 2010. 

According to Singal, he was informed that he was not entitled to the interest after April 2005, in view of the instructions of Ministry of Finance, by which the HUF account cannot be extended beyond the period of maturity and in case of irregular deposits, no interest will to be paid. As a result, he was not given interest on the amount of Rs 2,50,000 from February 2006 to January 2011. 

According to the judgement, the date of opening of the account was wrongly fed into the computer by the postal authority, leading to the confusion and it was adjudged that the post office had not given any valid reasons for non-payment of interest, which is illegal and a deficiency in service on the part of the post office.

Dear Comrades,

LUCKNOW: Siblings separated by miles, may still feel the fragrance, smile and warmth of Rakhi on Rakshabandhan. Thanks to India Post, the Rakhi could now be sent to its destination in a specially designed envelope. What's even more interesting is that girls and women will not have to wait for long to send in their letters. Lucknow's General Post Office would be starting a special counter for handling Rakhi-related posts.
