Hiring taxi / auto for Cash conveyance

DEPARTMENT OF POSTS, INDIA

From	To
The Supdt.of PO’s, Namakkal Division, Namakkal – 637 001	All the PMs / SPMs All the Sub Divisional heads Namakkal Division

No.E7/11/Dlgs               dated @ Namakkal – 637 001                   the 10.12.2014

              

            Sub     :           Hiring taxi / auto for Cash conveyance – reg.

While reviewing the NPC bills it is noticed that amount of cash remitted is not noted in the ACG-17 by most of the SPMs including the Postmasters. Therefore it is not able to verify whether the taxi fare has actually charged for the cash remittance is proper or not. The line limit for conveyance of cash by a departmental employee is Rs.2,00,000/-. But it is noticed that taxi / auto fare has been charged at all the offices for the remittance amount below Rs.2,00,000/-. This is not correct and should be stopped with immediate effect. Taxi or auto may be engaged only if the amount of remittance is above Rs.2,00,000/-.

It is also learnt that at some of the office the taxi / auto fare is being charged even when no auto / taxi was actually hired Further at some of the offices, the SPM has charged cash remittance expenditure for more than one occasion in a single day, though he/she drawn / received cash only once from the cash office. This is not correct. If such incidence is come notice of this office it will be viewed seriously. The Postmaster may disallow the expenditure if the auto / taxi fare is hired for the remittance below Rs.2,00,000/-

            All are hereby instructed to follow the above said instruction strictly without any deviation.

Central government launches special deposit scheme for the girl child

To help channelise small savings, government has launched a special deposit scheme for girl child -- Sukanya Samriddhi Account-- which can be opened in banks and post offices and half of the funds can be withdrawn for her higher education and marriage.

While the scheme has been notified by the government, the special interest rate applicable to it would be determined later. Under the scheme, an account can be opened in the name of a girl child up to the age of 10 years.

The scheme would mature on completion of 21 years from the date of opening of the account, and deposits can be made till completion of 14 years. The account can be transferred anywhere in India if the girl child shifts to a place other than the city or locality where the account stands.

Further, 50% of the deposit could be withdrawn for the purpose of higher education and marriage of the girl child after she attains 18 years of age, said the notification.

"The account shall be opened and operated by the natural or legal guardian of a girl child till the girl child in whose name the account has been opened, attains the age of 10 years," it added. After attaining age of 10 years, the account holder can herself operate the account.

In the event of death of the account holder, the account would be closed immediately, and the balance at the credit of the account would be paid along with interest till the month preceding the month of premature closure of the account. The scheme is aimed at garnering small savings and channelising them for development of infrastructure.

Recently, the government has relaunched the Kisan Vikas Patra, in which the invested money doubles in 100 months, with the objective of increasing domestic savings.
