    India Post fails to make it as bank
  • India Post applied for the bank licence under RBI guidelines issued on 22 February 2013.

    However, the Bimal Jalan committee, which sifted the applications, had recommended that RBI should examine India Post's application with the finance ministry before taking a final resolution on it.

    Thereafter, India Post was not considered by RBI due to its 'special nature', which would require new guidelines to operate.

  • Information

    Bandhan, IDFC make it where Post failed

  • Of the 25 applicants who had applied to become banks including India Post, RBI had given its approval to only two entities – IDFC and Bandhan Financial Services.

  • RBI's ultimate guidelines on differentiated banks facilitated India's postal department's dream of becoming a banker.

    Why is a Post Bank so attractive?
  • The Modi government proposed to take India Post bank public or increase public participation (most likely) to gather funds after transforming the comprehensive post office network into a commercial bank.

    Government officials claimed that investors would be drawn to the bank because of its large access in rural India, which was still out of other private and state-run banks' reach.
