MUMBAI: India Post will have to re-apply for a bank licence
under the differential licence norms, if they are keen to function as a payment
bank, R. Gandhi, deputy governor of the Reserve Bank of India told Cogencis.
“That is government. That is up to them. If they want to apply as a payment
bank, then it has to be a fresh application !” Gandhi said. The RBI issued just
two universal licences to IDFC Ltd and Bandhan Financial Services in April, but
it left the room open for the postal department’s bid to become a universal
bank. There have been indications that while the Department of Posts is keen on
getting a bank licence, the finance ministry has not been in favour of such a
move due to the lack of experience in handling advances.
