SBI signs up “Reliance Money Infra” as business correspondent

SBI signs up “Reliance Money Infra” as business correspondent
The Anil Ambani group firm will identify borrowers, process loan applications and follow up on recovery
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, APRIL 29:  

State Bank of India has signed up Reliance Money Infrastructure (RMIL), an Anil Ambani Group company, in a ‘business correspondent’ deal to source a range of banking services.
The deal was concluded on February 25 but has been made effective with retrospective effect from October 5, 2013.
SBI strategy

The deal authorises RMIL to identify borrowers; collect, process, and submit loan applications; promote credit groups; take up post-sanction monitoring, follow-up, and recovery.
As the service provider, RMIL will also collect small-value deposits; sell micro-insurance, mutual fund and pension products; and receive and deliver small-value remittances.
An industry analyst called this a mother-of-all-business-correspondent agreement, part of an SBI strategy to outsource listed services for ‘facilitating business growth.’ It is particularly significant since it comes after the latest round of issuance of banking licences in which Reliance Capital, another group company, was an applicant but failed to make the grade.
Products list

Among products the service provider will dabble in are: no-frill savings bank accounts through kiosk banking model; home loans/loans against property; auto loans; gold loans; SME loans;

May Day Message

My May Day SMS:

1886, MAY 1: DEMAND: 8 HOURS WORK PER DAY.
2014:UFBU DEMANDS: REGULATED WORKINGHOURS.
Unite and fight – the onlyway.
 Struggles never take rest!!
*****************************
Let us know History of May Day!
(Selected portion of an article:Read with Patience/Passion)
***********
The history of the world holiday on the 1st May - May Day, or International Workers Day, held in commemoration of four anarchists executed for struggling for an 8-hour day.
Originally a pagan holiday, the roots of the modern May Day bank holiday are in the fight for the eight-hour working day in Chicago in 1886, and the subsequent execution of innocent anarchist workers.
In 1887, four Chicago anarchists were executed; a fifth cheated the hangman by killing himself in prison. Three more were to spend 6 years in prison until pardoned by Governor Altgeld who said the trial that convicted them was characterised by "hysteria, packed juries and a biased judge". The state had, in the words of the prosecution put "Anarchy is on trial" and hoped their deaths would also be the death of the anarchist idea.
The anarchists were trade union organisers and May Day became an international workers day to remember their sacrifice. They were framed on false charges of throwing a bomb at police breaking up a demonstration in Chicago. This was part of a strike demanding an 8 hour day involving 400,000 workers in Chicago that started May 1st 1886 .
It began over a century ago when the American Federation of Labour adopted an historic resolution which asserted that "eight hours shall constitute a legal day's labour from and after May 1st, 1886".
In the months prior to this date workers in their thousands were drawn into the struggle for the shorter day. Skilled and unskilled, black and white, men and women, native and immigrant were all becoming involved.
