AURANGABAD : Chief postmaster general of Maharashtra and Goa circle, Col
K C Mishra, said on Friday said that three ATM centres would be opened
in Aurangabad division of the postal department by December. The three
centres will come up at Juna Bazaar main post office in Aurangabad, head
post office in Jalna and sub-post office at Bhokardan.
Speaking at a press conference held in the city, Mishra said that the
postal department was aiming to become a technology-enabled market
leader field in the coming days. "We are also implementing core banking
solutions (CBS) for savings schemes. The customers will benefit through
the ATM centres set up on the premises of 1,000 selected post offices
across India, including 75 in the state. In Aurangabad region, there
will be 17 ATMs. However, we are setting up three centres in the region
in the first phase," he said.
Mishra said the CBS would provide the customers access to accounts from
post offices and through internet banking. The CBS facility will come
into effect from next year. Besides, Mishra said that all the post
offices in the country would become paperless in the next three years.
"The ongoing IT modernization project of the postal department will
ultimately cover the entire network using appropriate technology. A
proposal for setting up the " Post Bank of India" is under consideration
of the Government of India. It is aimed at financial inclusion,
particularly in rural areas, by using the last mile reach of India
Post," he said.
"India Post has planned its transformation to shoulder more
responsibilities. The first step towards significant change has been the
implementation of Project Arrow, an initiative to transform India Post
into a vibrant and responsive organization and to make a visible and
positive difference in postal operations. Project Arrow has been
implemented in 18,602 post offices across India, including 1,693 in
Maharashtra of which 235 are in Aurangabad region," he added.
