4 RBI launches Sachet Portal for Curbing Illegal Money The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) launched a portal to curb illegal collection of money by companies. This website will enable public to obtain information regarding entities who accept deposits, lodge complaints and also share information regarding illegal acceptance of deposits. Initiating quick follow up and taking cases to logical conclusion by punishing the guilty is paramount to deterring entities in future from carrying out unlawful activity 'Sachet' would help regulators in doing this as much as it would help members of public in depositing their hard earned money with genuine companies by giving them timely information about them. The website would also help enhance coordination among regulators and state government agencies. People can file and track a complaint on this website if any firm has illegally accepted money from them or defaulted in repayment of deposits. People can also share information regarding any such entity on this portal. The website also incorporates regulations prescribed by all financial regulators that one has to follow. 'Sachet' also has a section for closed user group for State Level Coordination Committee (SLCCs) wherein they could share market intelligence and other information about their activities as well as agenda and minutes of meetings across the country in real time. All states have SLCCs comprising of various regulators, including RBI, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), National Housing Bank (NHB), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), Registrar of Companies (ROC) and concerned state government departments, such as, home, finance, law and various police authorities. The website will act as a 'force multiplier' and go a long way in making the SLCCs more effective in curbing the menace of unauthorised money raising activities.
5 India Post Payments Bank Incorporated The India Post Payments Bank Limited received the Certificate of Incorporation from the Registrar of Companies, Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the Companies Act This would be the first PSU under the Department of Posts. This has happened in the wake of Prime Minister Narendra Modi s Independence Day address, raising the expectations of the people from the soon to be set up India Post Payments Bank. With this move the Department of Posts has cleared an important milestone on this journey. With the incorporation, the Board of the India Post Payments Bank Limited is likely to be constituted soon. The incorporation of the IPPB Ltd is a significant step forward as this also paves the way for the bank to begin hiring of banking professionals to set up the bank and begin its operations in The Department of Posts is expected to complete the roll out of its branches all over the country by September This could be the fastest roll out for a bank anywhere in the world. The aspiration for the India Post Payments Bank is to become the most accessible bank in the world riding on state of the art banking and payments technology. Coupled with the physical presence across 1.55 lakh post offices and the reach of The Dakiya, the India Post Payments Bank aims to become a powerful and effective vehicle of real financial inclusion in the country. It is poised to create a national payments architecture riding on a modern payments platform and ubiquitous information and communication technologies that can be accessed by all users and service providers like never before. The stakeholders of the India Post Payments Bank within the Government and outside are looking at this new entity as a catalyst to social and financial inclusion.
