Dak BhavanBanks brace for salary withdrawals; ATMs still dry
Given cash shortages with banks, and ATMs running dry, bankers fear a surge in rush.
Banks are bracing up to face a huge rush in the coming days as people
will queue up at branches across the country to withdraw salaries with a
large number of ATMs remaining dry even 21 days after the
demonetisation of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes.
People are likely to throng at bank branches on December 1 as central
and state governments credit salaries and pensions to millions of
accounts. At the central level alone, there are around 50 lakh employees
and 58 lakh pensioners.
Bankers said the government’s move last week to provide Rs 10,000 in
advance to non-gazetted staff may provide only a slight relief.
Given cash shortages with banks, and ATMs running dry, bankers fear a surge in rush.
Many banks have made ‘SOS calls’ to the Reserve Bank for additional cash
for the first few days of December to meet the initial rush of people,
already fatigued standing in unending queues to exchange/deposit old
notes and make limited withdrawals over the past three weeks after the
demonetisation was announced on November 8.
Banks have to make additional arrangement including security deployment, said a senior banker of Canara Bank.
Many of them are contemplating to set up additional counters for withdrawal to meet the rush.
Despite recalibration of nearly 70 per cent of ATMs do not have cash,
while people are struggling with the problem of change as the
operational ones dispense mostly high denomination Rs 2,000 notes.
Nearly 21 days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced cancellation
of legal tender of old Rs 500/1000 currency notes, small traders,
truckers and construction workers are facing hardships in going about
their business.
Due to sowing of rabi crop, the focus of the government has now shifted
to rural areas, which means urban centres are feeling the cash squeeze.
Sources said funds are being made available in rural and semi-urban
pockets so that farmers get adequate cash for sowing rabi crop.
There are also reports that banks in major metros are getting less than their cash requirement leading to chaos at the branches.
The RBI Governor Urjit Patel had earlier said that the central bank is
monitoring the situation on a daily basis and taking all necessary
actions to “ease the genuine pain of citizens” with a clear intent to
normalise the things as early as possible.

DECEMBER 2016
DEMONETIZATION (NOTE
BANDI)
CAUSE OF SUFFERING FOR
PUBLIC
The object of demonetization was stated by Prime Minister to
combat corruption and black money .But without making proper preparations it’s
implementation has caused suffering more to the public in general and Bank and
Postal Employees in particular. All Government Employees, Workers, Farmers and
small & big entrepreneurs are also suffering because of this. People start
standing in ques in front of ATMs since early in the night. As the ATMs were
not calibrated as per new notes of Rs.2000/-
and 500/- so these notes are not being put in ATMs and 100/- Rupees notes are exhausted within a short period and
remaining persons remain standing in ques. The decision taken in hurry is being
changed frequently. Firstly it was ordered that anybody can change the old notes
worth Rupees 4000/- from any Bank & Post Office, after that limit raised as
Rs.4500/- and now it has been reduced to Rs.2000/- from the Post Offices or
Bank where account stands.
`No employer is
giving salary to his employees. Shops are being shut. The business in Mandis is
getting stopped. Workshops and factories are being closed. Workers are
returning back from Metro Cities to their villages.
The problems
before farmers are aggravating. Now this is season of RAVI CROPS and Farmers
are not able to purchase seeds and fertilizer besides having money. If it
peasants come in distress it will adversely affect the economy of nation.
Agricultural products like vegetables and fruits are not being purchased in
Mandis. All the small enterprises, from brick Kilns to factories , who have to pay cash wages to workers have stopped
working or not making full payment of wages as they have been allowed to
withdraw Rs.25000/- . As per the RBI directives, distinct and primary
co-operative banks which cater to millions of farmers are not allowed to
exchange the votes. This has paralysed the banking operations causing hardship
to farmer and rural population. Workers working in transport sector have become
unemployed. The goods carrier vehicles have come to halt, as to operate these there
is no money and it will result shortage of food items.
The Government has authorized all Hospitals to
accept old notes but the private hospitals and Nursing Homes have not been
allowed therefore people are not getting proper treatment and some have died
due to lack of treatment.
Most of the
work in this country is done by cash transaction. After barring 86% currency
which was in the form of notes of higher denomination has caused suffering to
the common man including labourers, farmers, entrepreneurs and government
employees. The way in which this has been implemented adverse effect on
livelihood of common man can be noticed.
The government
is claiming GDP at the rate of 8% but now it may come down up to 5% and the
economy will take more time to come up after bearing this blow.
The Government
is claiming total removal of problem of corruption and black money after
demonetization but experts are saying that there is only 6% black money in the
form of cash and only 0.025% currency is fake. Rest 94% black money is in real
estate, Share Market, Gold and Jewellery and foreign currency and so many other
activities. For marriages, orders were issued to withdraw Rs.2.5 lakh but so
many conditions have been imposed and fulfillment of these conditions is
impossible and the people are committing suicide being aggrieved of it. To
restrict withdrawal of its own money is clear-cut violation of constitutional
provisions.
With this
decision the postal employees have also been very adversely affected. There is
no adequate infrastructure in Post Offices. In most of the post offices, notes
counting machines and fake currency detecting machines are not available. About
10000 Post Offices are single handed and he has to do all other works besides
this demonetization work. The Post Offices are being opened since 8 A.M. to 8
P.M. and being opened on holidays and Sundays and no extra remuneration is
being paid in lieu of this extra duty work.
There are no
proper security arrangements in Post Offices for cash remittance. Cash cannot
be retained in Post Offices. To remit the cash from SOs to HO. The employees
have to take risk. Banks are not ready to accept. The banned currency due to
non availability cash from Banks. Postal employees have to bear the annoyance
of public.
NFPE has raised
all these issues before Postal Administration and other officers and
accordingly Directorate has issued instructions to settle these problems but
still this is not sufficient.
If the attitude
of administration does not change than NFPE along with PJCA will proceed on
path of agitation.
