Department of Posts has proposed
to set up a Post Bank of India. This will be an independent entity, separate
from the current operations of Small savings Schemes being carried out by the
Department on behalf of Ministry of Finance. The Department of Posts has
accordingly submitted an application to the RBI on 28.06.2013 seeking a banking
license subject to necessary Cabinet approvals.

This
information was given by Dr. Smt. Killi Kruparani, Minister of State for
Communications and Information Technology in a written reply to a question in
the Lok Sabha today.
It is always said that the war is won by strategy and not by soldiers alone. so is the case of the Department. we do not have the professional managers to formulate the policy as nearly 53 officers from TOP are retiring in the next 3 years. Hence it is certain that they are more eager to reach the top and retire with all the benefit and previlages. That is why the project Arrow is turning out to be Project Sorrow, except the false claims made by the top officers.Now the Proposal for post Bank would not be different one. RBI is correct in its assessment that the department has wide net work but lacks professional expertise to run Banking sector.
