The offer looks exactly like a real one where they tell you that you have got a great opportunity to work with our company.

Not Getting Rs. 2000 Notes From ATM? Check What FM Nirmala Sitharaman Says

Posted on by Sudeshna Mishra

Parliament was informed on Monday that no instructions had been granted to banks regarding the filling or non-filling of Rs 2000 notes in ATMs, as lenders make their own decisions regarding the loading of cash vending machines.

According to RBI Annual Reports, the total value of Rs 500 and Rs 2000 denomination banknotes in circulation as of end-March 2017 and as of end-March 2022 was Rs 9.512 lakh crore and Rs 27.057 lakh crore, respectively, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman declared in a written reply in Lok Sabha.

Banks have not been given instructions to stop filling Rs 2000 notes in ATMs. She explained that Banks determine the amount and denominational requirements for ATMs based on past usage, consumer demand, seasonal trends, and so on.”

In response to another question, the finance minister stated that the total amount of central government debt/liabilities are estimated to be around Rs 155.8 lakh crore (57.3% of GDP) as of March 31, 2023.

She stated that out of this, external debt is projected to be about Rs. 7.03 lakh crore at current exchange rates (2.6 percent of GDP).

She said, “Share of external debt is only about 4.5 percent of total debt/liabilities of the central government and less than 3 percent of GDP. External debt is mostly financed by multilateral and bilateral agencies at concessional rates. Therefore, the risk profile stands out as safe and prudent.”

Moreover, she stated that the RBI, in consultation with the government, recently announced a number of measures to diversify and broaden the sources of forex funding in order to reduce exchange rate volatility and global spillovers.

Fresh FCNR(B) and NRE deposits were excluded from the current interest rate regulation (i.e., interest rates shall not be greater than those offered by the banks on equivalent domestic rupee term deposits) until October 31, 2022, as per the statement.

According to her, the all-in-cost ceiling was increased by 100 basis points in some circumstances up to December 31, 2022, and the external commercial borrowing (ECB) limit under the automatic route has been raised to USD 1.5 billion.

She said that in order to promote the expansion of Indian exports and the growing interest of the international trading community in the Indian rupee, RBI has implemented a new arrangement for exports and imports to be invoiced, paid, and settled in the rupee on July 11, 2022.

Posted on by Sudeshna Mishra

The RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das on Monday announced that daily UPI (unified payment interface) transactions across the country surpassed 36 crores in one year, a 50 percent jump from 24 crores in February 2022.

In terms of value, these transactions are worth ₹6.27 lakh crore, which is registering a growth of 17 percent from ₹5.36 lakh crore in February 2022. At the RBI headquarters, While launching Digital Payments Awareness Week, the governor discloses this data to the reporters. He also said that the total digital payment transactions crossed over Rs 1,000 crore each month during the last three months.

He also said that the success story of India’s payment systems tempts several other countries to adopt them. They have shown their interest in replicating this system. It’s a matter of pride. Since December 2022, India’s payment systems have a record of over 1000 crore transactions per month. This shows its acceptance by consumers due to its robustness to payment systems. According to the recent report of a pan-India digital payments survey, out of 90,000 respondents, 42 percent of respondents are using digital payments.

In volume terms, in January 2023, the number of UPI transactions crossed 800 crores, while NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) saw a daily volume of 3.18 crore transactions on 28 February.

Since the launch of UPI in 2016, it has appeared as the most popular and preferred payment mode, leading person-to-person and person-to-merchant transactions accounting for 75 percent of total digital payments.

On the tokenization exercise, he said that RBI had tokenized over 48 crore cards, which managed over 86 crore transactions, which makes it the world’s largest tokenization exercise. The tokenized transactions have grown from 35 percent initially to 62 percent.

The acceptance of digital payments infrastructure has increased from 170 million touch points to 260 million touch points, which shows a growth of 53 percent.

The governor also launched the ‘Har Payment Digital’ mission which aims to strengthen the RBI’s commitment to deepening digital payments in the country.

While UPI has allowed the digital payments facility to retail outlets, kiranas, street vendors, small or large business people, etc., Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) has ensured the shift of bill payments from cash/cheque to digital mode and National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) ) system has focused on shifting the toll payment to digital mode.

The governor further said that the RBI has decided to adopt 75 villages to mark 75 years of independence. Under this program, Payment System Operators (PSOs) will choose 75 villages and convert them into digital payment-enabled villages.

The RBI Deputy Governor Rabi Shankar said that the financial formalization of the economy is essential as money is at the core of any economy. He added that RBI’s Digital Vision 2025 is to make digital payments available everywhere and every time so that everyone can make digital payments. In the last five years, digital payments have grown 15 percent annually, he said.

Banks May Remained Shut On Every Saturday

Posted on by Sudeshna Mishra

In India, every first and third Saturdays in the bank are open for Indians who are still visiting on the weekend in the digital age. But now the weekend visits to the local branch may not be possible due to the bank holiday on all Saturdays. Employees may work for five days a week. It is a long pending demand of the bank employees.

The Indian Banks’ Association (IBA), in discussion with the United Forum of Bank Employees, has agreed to declare all Saturdays as a holiday, but the employees will have to work more hours per day.

But to implement this new rule, the Indian government, along with the Reserve Bank of India, will also have to accept this five-day week in exchange for longer hours before deciding on a new timing. The deal regarding working days was negotiated separately from wages when a senior union official was absent.

According to reports, 40 minutes will be added to bank employees’ per day working hours in lieu of two additional days off. The decision was taken after LIC’s acceptance of a five-day working week, and stock market plans to align trading with western economies. Bankers acknowledge that even though ATMs and e-banking provide primary services to customers, many people still visit their local branches.

Moreover, cash deposit machines and passbook printing devices have also been set up along with ATMs so people can take advantage of it as a self-service.

After accepting this demand, employees must work daily from 9:45 am to 5:30 pm.

Even though the banks will remain closed in the coming days, people will not face any hassle related to bank operations such as ATMs, cash deposits, online banking, and mobile banking services.
