Jan Dhan scheme

Bank Employees asked more wages from Government!

Honourable P.M. NAMO Obliged to give!

Of course, not more wages ,but more Work!

 Yes, Bank employees should work 8A.M. to 8P.M on Saturdays

to open New accounts under Jan Dhan scheme.

Do the Finance Ministry knows that the accounts opened under Jan Dhan are duplicate, triplicate and quartiplicate?

Yes, those who already having bank accounts have opned new accounts

in the same bank or the other, to avail the benefits that are announced

along with new account.

Jan Dhan account is only an extention of Financial inclution scheme by UPA.

What is practical and realistic approach as per AIBEA?

TRANSFER OF FEMALE EMPLOYEES IN PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS!

PSBs ADVISED TO FRAME POLICY TO MINIMIZE THEIR HARDSHIP!

Many of the Banks do not have transfer policy which gives consideration to the special problems which female officers/employees face vis-a-vis their male counterparts. Government of India, Ministry of Finance, Department of Financial Services has issued guidelines to 
all Public Sector Banks including IDBI & SBI Associates,
so that transfers of female officers and employees can be considered with compassion and their hardship can be mitigated to the extent possible.
