India Post Payments Bank Incorporated
The India Post Payments Bank Limited has
received the Certificate of Incorporation from the Registrar of
Companies, Ministry of Corporate Affairs yesterday under the Companies
Act 2013. This would be the first PSU under the Department of Posts.
This has happened in the wake of Prime Minister Shri 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 2017. The Department of
Posts is expected to complete the roll out of its branches all over the
country by September 2017. 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.
