Instant money order a boon for customers
ALLAHABAD: Gone are the days when you waited anxiously for the postman to arrive with money order. India Post's i-MO is a web-based instant money transfer service offered by India Post to transfer money between two resident individuals within India.
Director postal services, Allahabad region, Krishna Kumar Yadav told TOI that money transferred through i-MO can be received by the payee within few minutes of the transfer. To make this user more cost-efficient for customers i-MO tariffs have been reduced lately. I-MO is an instant, reliable, affordable and most convenient way for transferring money within the country, for sending an amount up to Rs 50,000 a customer has to pay only Rs 120. Now, customers have to pay Rs 100 for an amount of Rs 1,000-10,000, Rs 110 for transfer between Rs 10,001 and 30,000, and Rs 120 for transfer between Rs 30,001 and Rs 50,000. The facility of ordinary money order is already being provided by India Post, in which Rs five is charged per Rs 100. The instant money order is much faster and efficient compared to ordinary money order.
To send money through i-MO, a customer is required to fill a "To Remit Payment Form" and submit it with money and i-MO commission at i-MO post office counter. i-MO counter clerk will give a printed receipt immediately after booking the i-MO that contains 16 digits i-MO number.

Reduction in Small Savings Agents’ Commission
The recommendation of Shyamala Gopinath Committee regarding agents’ commission was to reduce commission of 0.5% on Senior Citizens Savings Scheme (SCSS) and 1% on Public Provident Fund (PPF) to zero, reduce 4% commission under Mahila Pradhan Kshetriya Bachat Yojana (MPKBY) to 1% in a phased manner and to reduce 1% commission for all other schemes under Standardised Agency System (SAS) to 0.5%. The Government, after consulting all the stakeholders and the representations received, has decided to reduce the commission under PPF and SCSS to zero and under SAS to 0.5%. However, commission under MPKBY continues to be at 4% for the time being.
The main intention of these recommendations is to make these schemes more investor centric than agent centric.
Representations of Small Savings Agents’ Association from various states including Mumbai were received in the past. Taking into account large number of representations received from Small Savings Agent’s Associations, Members of Parliament, other dignitaries and others, the Government accepted most of the recommendations of the Committee.

PROTECTION OF TRCA OF GDS BPM
Sub: Protection of TRCA of GDS BPM
D.G. Posts No. 5-1/07-WS-I Dated: 15.10.2012
The Matter regarding protection of allowance of GDS BPM in the event of reduction of workload has been engaging attention of the Directorate for some time past. It has now been decided with immediate effect, that in the event of drop in the workload of the BPM to that of the lower slab, protection of allowance (TRCA) at the excising slab of TRCA of GDS BPM would be provided for an year, thereby giving an opportunity to the GDS BPM to improve the workload to the original level or higher. On completion of this one year, a special review will be conducted to assess the workload of the Branch Postmaster and if the workload after review is found to be at reduced level, the allowance will be reduced to corresponding TRCA slab.
These issues with the concurrence of Integrated Finance Wing vide their Diary No. 257/FA/12/CS dated 15.10.2012.
