RBI extends deadline to exchange pre-2005 currency notes



MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India on Monday granted an additional nine months for the public to exchange currency notes printed before 2005, including Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denominations, and set a deadline of January 1, 2015. 

"RBI has also advised banks to facilitate the exchange of these notes for full value and without causing any inconvenience whatsoever to the public," the central bank said in a release. 

It clarified that the public "can continue to freely use these notes" for transactions and can unhesitatingly receive these notes in payment as all such notes remain legal tender.
The RBI on January 22 said it would withdraw from circulation all pre-2005 currency notes from April 1 and the public was advised to approach banks to exchange such notes.

Currency notes issued before 2005 do not have the year of printing on the reverse side. In notes issued after 2005, the year of printing is visible at the bottom of the reverse side. 

The RBI said the withdrawal is in conformity with the standard international practice of not having multiple series of notes in circulation at the same time. 

"A majority of such notes have already been withdrawn through the banks and only a limited number of notes remain with the public" the RBI said. 

The apex bank said it will monitor and review the withdrawal and exchange process so that the public is not inconvenienced in any manner. 

Reserve Bank governor Raghuram Rajan had earlier said the withdrawal was not an attempt at demonetisation, nor had it anything to do with the forthcoming general election. 

Post-2005 notes have added security features and help in curbing the menace of fake currency. 

At present, currency notes are issued in denominations of Rs 5, Rs 10, Rs 20, Rs 50, Rs 100, Rs 500 and Rs 1,000. 

Earlier, the RBI had withdrawn a certain series of currency notes at the bank level but bearers were not asked to get them replaced.

1) Cabinet okays inclusion of jats in OBC list: The Cabinet on Sunday approved the inclusion of jats in the central list of OBCs that defines the eligibility for 27% Mandal reservations. Jats can now avail reservation in central jobs and educational institutions, a decision taken by possibly the last Cabinet meeting of UPA-2 in what is a desperate Congress gambit to woo the community ahead of elections.


2) South Africa won maiden ICC U19 Cricket World Cup titleSouth Africa won its maiden ICC U19 Cricket World Cup title when it defeated two-time former champion Pakistan by six wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday. Fast bowler Corbin Bosch saved his best performance in the tournament for the title match when he claimed four for 15, and wicketkeeper Clyde Fortuin collected six catches behind the wickets as Pakistan was bundled out for 131 in 44.3 overs after electing to bat first.
>> South Africa captain Aiden Markram was declared player of the tournament for scoring 370 runs in the tournament, which saw him strike two centuries and one half-century.

3) Pakistan defeated India in Asia Cup match: India paid the price for costly blunders at crucial junctures to suffer a nerve-wracking one-wicket defeat at the hands of arch-rivals Pakistan, who rode on Shahid Afridi's brilliant cameo to virtually assure themselves a berth in the final of the Asia Cup on Sunday. In a tense encounter where fortunes fluctuating from one team to other till very end saw Afridi the turn the game decisively in Pakistan's favour by hitting successive sixes in Ravichandran Ashwin's last over to overhaul India's modest total of 245.

4) Manchester City won Capital One Cup final at Wembley: Manuel Pellegrini won his first trophy as Manchester City manager as his side came from behind to beat Sunderland 3—1 at Wembley in final of Capital One Cup  on Sunday. Fabio Borini put Sunderland ahead after 10 minutes and for the rest of the first half it seemed a major upset was possible. But Yaya Toure stroked in a brilliant 25—yarder to level nine minutes after half—time and three minutes later Samir Nasri fired in with the outside of his right foot from just inside the box.

5) New Pakistan High Commissioner arrived in India: Pakistan High Commissioner-designate Abdul Basit arrived in India on Sunday at a time of a pause in India-Pakistan relations. A career diplomat like his predecessor Salman Bashir, Mr. Basit was Pakistan’s Ambassador to Germany and nominated for this post instead of the earlier choice Syed Ibne Abbas.

Choudhury retired on 28 Feb 2014 on attaining the superannuation age of 60 years.

7)  Roger Federer won Dubai tennis championship: Roger Federer won singles title of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship by defeating Tomas Berdych 3-6, 6-4,6-3 in the final.


8) Finance ministry allows EPFO to become stock exchange member: The finance ministry has allowed retirement fund body Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to become a member of a stock exchange although its trustees oppose parking even a part of its over Rs5 lakh crore corpus in equities. The department of economic affairs has issued anotification under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules Act 1957, permitting the EPFO to become a member of a recognised stock exchange, according to a release.

Whether LSG/HSG-II offices have to issue ECB Memos or not?


Some of our Post Masters are seeking clarification... whether LSG/HSG-II offices have to issue ECB Memos or not?  Here is the clarification.....


The SPM will be held responsible that the amount of cash and value of stamps retained by him and his village postman is never unnecessarily large.  As far as possible, he must work with balances within the authroised limits and should not retain cash in excess of the authorized maximum, except when this is necessary in order to meet actual existing liabilities.  He will be responsible that his BOs are not allowed without sufficient justification, to retain balances in excess of the authorized limits. 

Whenever the cash balance retained by a SO of three hands or less including the SPM exceeds the authorized maximum, or the total of cash and stamp balances held by BOs is in excess of the total of the maximum cash and stamp balances fixed for those offices, the SPM must submit, with the SO daily account a memo in form PA.20 explaining why it was necessary to keep the sum in excess. In the case of all other SOs the SPM must furnish the reaons for retaining excess cash on the reverse of the SO daily account. 

The ECB memos should be numbered in a monthly consequtive series and the serial number assigned  to the memos should be noted in the remarks of the SO account against the relative entry.

CONFEDERATION Circular No. 13

CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLOYEES & WORKERS

      Website: www.confederationhq.blogspot.com

Circular No. 13                                                  Dated 2.3.2014
GOVERNMENT REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE MAIN DEMANDS OF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.
CONFEDERATION NATIONAL SECRETARIAT CALLS UPON THE ENTIRE CG EMPLOYEES TO PROTEST AGAINST THE ARBITRARY AND UNILATERAL DECISION OF THE GOVERNMENT.
HOLD NATION WIDE PROTEST DEMONSTRATION IN FRONT OF ALL OFFICES AND AT ALL IMPORTANT CENTRES ON 7TH  MARCH 2014 OR AT ANY IMMEDIATE CONVENIENT DATE.
SEND PROTEST SAVINGRAM TO THE PRIME MINISTER.
PREPARE for AN INDEFINITE STRIKE IMMEDIATELY AFTER GENERAL ELECTION DEMANDING , MERGER OF DA , INTERIM RELIEF , INCLUSION OF GDS UNDER 7TH CPC, PARITY IN PENSION, DATE OF EFFECT 1/1/2014, SCRAP NEW PENSION SCHEME, SETTLE ANOMOLIES,INCLUSION OF LABOUR REPRESENTATIVE IN THE PAY COMMISSION AND OTHER DEMANDS IN THE 15 POINT CHARTER OF DEMANDs.
CONDUCT INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN AND MAKE THE 4TH APRIL NAGPUR NATIONAL CONVENTION A GRAND SUCCESS
Dear Comrades,
The Union Cabinet approved the Finance Ministry’s proposal on terms of reference of the 7th CPC.  We have placed the full text of the same on our website.  None of the suggestions made by the Staff Side was accepted by the Government. 
However, our concern over the date of effect seems to have been taken note of.  The terms of reference has left the effective date of its recommendations to be decided by the Commission itself.  A united stand backed up by struggles will enable us to clinch this demand in our favour.  Undoubtedly it has been our endeavours and the two days strike action that has compelled the Government to have a rethinking on their earlier stand of Decennial (Ten years} wage revision for Central Government employees and the date of effect as 1/1/2016
Unlike on the earlier occasion, the Government has not decided to grant Interim Relief and merger of Dearness allowance.  Nor has it asked the Commission to consider and make appropriate recommendation in this regard specifically.  As pointed out in our earlier communication, inclusion of a labour representative in the Commission being not an idea the UPA Government cherishes, for it is diametrically opposite to its economic policies and ideology, they have stuck to the position of sandwiching the Honourable Judge with bureaucrats.  In the light of the agreement penned by Com. Mahadeviah, the General Secretary of the recognised GDS union with the Postal Board to the effect that a separate one man committee will look into the service conditions of the Grameen Dak Sewaks, it is not surprising that the Government chose to ignore our demand to cover them within the ambit of the 7th CPC.   Our demands for parity between the past and present pensioners and scrapping of the new pension scheme also stand rejected. 
As you are aware, the 6th CPC (and the earlier Commissions also) had refused to entertain the demand for removal of anomalies despite Government referring the same to the Commission specifically.  Therefore, the omnibus clause in the terms of reference requiring the Commission to submit interim reports may not be of any help to us to raise the anomalies before the 7th CPC.
At the conclusion of the meeting held on 24/10/2013 by Secretary, DoPT, with the staff side on terms of reference of the 7th CPC, it was agreed that the Government will consider our suggestion in the matter and will convene another meeting with the presence of Secretary (Expenditure) to iron out the differences, if any, and explore the possibilities of an agreement in the matter. But no such meeting was convened and no attempt was made by the official side to arrive at an agreed Terms of Reference.
We must now react to the arbitrary and unilateral decision of the Government.  We appeal all the State Secretaries, District Secretaries and Branch Secretaries of the affiliated organisations and the State/District COCs to immediately send the following Savingram to the Prime Minister.
THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES WORKING IN THE    .......    (NAME OF THE STATION)/ OFFICE OF...........................CONDEMN THE ATTITUDE OF THE GOVERNMENT IN NOT HONOURING ITS COMMITMENT OF HOLDING DISUCSSION WITH THE STAFF SIDE JCM NATIONAL COUNCIL BEFORE FINALISING THE TERMS OF REFERENCE OF THE 7TH CPC AND DEMAND IMMEIDATE ACCEPTANCE OF :
(i)            Interim Relief
(ii)          Merger of DA
(iii)         Bringing the Grameen Dak Sewaks within the ambit of the 7th CPC
(iv)         Date of effect from 1/1/2014
(v)          Parity in pension entitlement between the past and present pensioners
(vi)         Coverage of the existing defined benefit pension scheme to employees recruited on or after 1.1.2004.
(vii)       Include a representative of the Labour in the 7th Central Pay Commission.
(viii)     Settle the anomalies raised in the National Anomaly Committee
While the National Convention scheduled to be held at Nagpur will chalk out detailed and phased programmes of action, we call upon our State Committees and Affiliated Unions to organise massive demonstration in front of all offices and important centres on 7th  March, 2014 (Friday) or any other immediate convenient date. Kindly instruct all the Branches to mobilise their members so that the demonstration has the participation of cent per cent of the membership of the concerned branch.  The State Units and affiliated Unions may issue pamphlets and posters and ensure its wide circulation throughout the country.
As already declared by the National Secretariat of the Confederation, we shall have to go for an indefinite strike action immediately after the General Election if our demands are to be settled.
With Greetings,
Yours fraternally,
M. KRISHNAN.

Secretary General.
