2013 Global Forum on Financial Inclusion for Development
Postal financial inclusion is enjoying a boom phase. After banks, postal operators and their postal financial subsidiaries are the world's second biggest contributor to financial inclusion.
Today, one billion people use the postal sector for savings and deposit accounts, and more than 1.5 billion profit from basic transactional services through the Post. In India alone, 30 million new postal savings accounts were opened in 2012.
Postal networks have much to offer for financial inclusion
Donors and policymakers are starting to realize the potential of postal financial services, and the role that Posts can play in increasing financial inclusion. Following the example of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has shown its commitment to postal financial inclusion, several donors are now focusing their efforts on leveraging postal networks for financial inclusion.
The UPU, jointly with the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and the International Organization of La Francophonie, has established this forum as a platform for dialogue on postal financial inclusion between governments, postal operators, central banks, private sector players and international organizations.
The Forum's objectives are to:
  • Raise awareness on the role of Posts in financial inclusion
  • Bring together decision-makers to exchange best practices in the area of postal financial inclusion
  • Provide a forum for discussion between central banks and postal operators

GRANT OF TA & TRANSIT (TA & TP) TO OFFICIALS TRANSFERRED ON COMPLETION OF TENURE TO THE PLACE OF THEIR CHOICE . A proposal on grant TA and transit to officials who are transferred on completion of tenure to the place of their choice was under consideration in this Directorate for sometime past.      SR-114 governs TA on transfer distinguishes between transfer for public convenience and transfer on own request.  Although transfer on completion of tenure in one office has not been specifically referred to in this rule, yet the transfer on completion of tenure is a transfer for public convenience.  On completion of tenure, the official has to be transferred out for operational reasons.  Therefore, such a transfer is mandatory, while posting to a place of choice is secondary and subject to public convenience.  In view of this posting to a place of choice after completion of full tenure may not be normally termed as a "transfer on own request" ...
