Proposal for functioning of post offices as banks: Govt reply in Rajya Sabha
Department of Posts raised a proposal for setting up the Post Bank of India and providing banking services with a network of 1.55 lakh post offices with special focus on rural areas and financial inclusion.
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has informed that all commercial banks have been constituted by the Government by various Acts of the Parliament.
Hence, to set up the Post Bank of India (PBI) by an Act of Parliament, necessary legislation will need to be framed and passed by the Parliament.
Or to set up the Post Bank as banking company, the same would require a banking licence from RBI as per RBI’s extant guidelines issued in February, 2013.
RBI is of the view that it is useful to take up a detailed Cost Benefit Analysis on the proposal.
In addition, viability and strategic study, market research, business plan and profitability analysis including business projections for next 4-5 years needs to be carried out to assess the commercial viability of the proposal.
The above information was submitted by Fin Min in reply of undermentioned Rajya Sabha Questions:-
