When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? It’s easy to get stuck in the routine but taking on a new challenge is a great way of getting out of that rut. Move out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself beyond your conditioned thinking to get the Best out of you.

Our Corporate Plan for 2013-14 has been rolled out. We have to reach ` 8.1 Lakh Cr. global business mix by 31.03.2014. Do you know your branch/zone/NBG budget? Hope you are fully aware regarding the stark difference in talking a budget and owing the budget. Not only must you know your budget but also you must achieve the same on monthly basis, especially credit budgets. Find the gaps and work out the strategies to meet the goals.

Have you formed Quality Circle at your branch? Have you done the SWOT analysis of our team/branch and the potential available in your command area? The best strategy is to leverage on our strengths and minimize the impact of our weaknesses/threats. We need to have a cohesive team, which is vital to meet any challenge. Sharing of knowledge, promptness in decision-making and development of administrative skills are the attributes of a successful branch Manager. We need to train all our staff to become effective marketing personnel to cross sell our products and services. To be good marketing personnel, we need to have the product knowledge, skill in marketing our products & services and a determination to excel/achieve the goals. There is no dearth of talents and potential, however, their talents need to be identified to exploit the potential. As all the banks are now CBS, we have almost similar products, services and rates of Interest. What is going to make the difference is the man behind the counter i.e. the quality of customer service. HR is going to play a vital role in the days to come. We need to hone up soft skills to improve the quality of customer service. Have a

positive attitude. Remember, a satisfied customer would be your brand ambassador and will bring 10 more clients, but a dissatisfied customer can give a negative publicity and drive away your 100 potential customers. ‘Customer Delight’ at all levels and in all transactions will be our goal. Conduct customers meet regularly and redress their grievances. Create awareness of the ‘Star Nivaran Portal’ started recently by us. Have you built up a database of our customers? Our existing clients are to be tapped for all the bouquet of products we have. The averages per customer products are 1.3 in our Bank where as peer banks have 4 to 5 products. Where do our customers go for their banking needs for Retail loans? Please study and cross sell. Popularize our Third Party products and IT enabled services. It will augment fee-based income, promote ecofriendly green initiatives, and make transactions cost effective. Please remember that growth in our bottom line is more important than top line growth. Control your ego and anger. They not only spoil your personality but also can potentially harm the organization. Golden opportunities and precious relationships have been lost in the history of mankind in satisfying someone’s ego or the other. Be a champion, Be a Leader. ‘Liking a thing you do is important and not doing what you like’. Have self-confidence. Identify your potentials and perform to your full potentials. Wide spread rains in the country has brought cheers amongst the farming community. It is the most appropriate time to bring as many new farmers to our fold as possible and maximize our agricultural business. Needless to emphasize the fact that financial inclusion has now proved to be a great business opportunity, particularly for our rural and semi-urban branches. The staff of these branches now has to treat business correspondent/business facilitator as extended arms of the branches to canvas new business, monitor the accounts and augment recoveries. Let our branches go whole hug to bolster our retail lending portfolios, which I feel is having tremendous potential. I wish you success in all your endeavors.

You all are aware that we have stipulated a business target of ` 8.1 lakhs Cr for the current financial year i.e. 2013-14. The market is very competitive and we have to set our Individual targets to achieve the desired goals. Positive mindset and Positive attitude both are very significant for our personal growth as well as organizational success. We have to kill negativity prevailing in our area of operation. Working together with the sense of belongingness towards our bank will lead us to SUCCESS. Let me share a short story with you- One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big notice on the door on which it was written ‘Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away’. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym. In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. Everyone thought who is the person who was hindering my progress? One by one, the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said- ’There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: IT IS YOU. Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limited beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life. Do not be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself and your reality. The new edition in your hands is full of informative articles, knowledge sharing, new initiatives, achievements of our staff along with activities conducted across zones and abroad. Thanks to all contributors of this edition. Enjoy the Edition and send your frank feedbacks to HeadOffice.Taarangan@bankofindia.co.in

Critical

Thinking

‘M

an is born free but everywhere he is in chains’, this observation by noted French philosopher JeanJacques Rousseau (1712-1778) holds good for different aspects of human beings which include their thinking also. Instead of free and objective thinking, generally a person’s thinking is influenced by his/her prejudices, biases etc. In many cases without thinking clearly we derive certain conclusions and then try to justify those conclusions on the basis of our belief, perception etc. To sustain our earlier beliefs, even though they may be illogical and irrational, we are willing to cover any distance. In this process of satisfying our ego, we can often deny ourselves intellectual growth and various opportunities. Critical thinking is the way to avoid such handicaps and to be in command of how and what we think and how this thinking influences us. Thinking critically is in a way thinking about our thinking. It is not possible to apply critical thinking skills in each and every situation but we should have those skills as and when we need them. There is enough competition in today’s world. Projects, targets and deadlines drive day to day operations and decisions in the market. Business leaders and managers need to think on their feet to achieve their corporate goals and find solutions to optimize the business prospects of their organization. This brings us to a highly significant question- while taking crucial business decisions should we rely more on our gut feeling or go by critical thinking. We all have gut feelings but to explain them generally proves to be difficult. This gut feeling which we also call intuition may hold right in many situations but we should not ignore the important fact that too much dependence on intuition leads us to take simplistic decision and can be detrimental to business interests. Many researches have shown how psychological biases cause the human mind to draw incorrect conclusions while taking decisions. In critical thinking such biases can be kept to the minimum, if not avoided altogether.

Vijay Prakash Srivastava, Faculty Member, MDI, CBD Belapur Critical thinking can be defined in many ways. It can be described as the process of using logical and factual evidence which is relevant to decision making. The focus is on deeply and broadly questioning and testing the ways in which an idea is formed as well as how one has been interpreting and examining the idea. Thinking critically is a disciplined art of ensuring that a person uses the best thinking she or he is capable of in any set of circumstances. The world best here means mature, balanced and all rounded thinking. An important point to note is that critical thinking is a process and not an outcome. It is about how we think and not what we think. In critical thinking we begin with the right approach, look deeper and farther, ask complex but relevant questions and also reflect on how we are answering these questions. Critical thinking considers the bigger framework. Such considerations become crucial where the stakes are high. Depending on the issue critical thinking may include analysis, synthesis, interpretation and evaluation. Analysis implies breaking something into parts to better understand the parts and the whole. Synthesis is about establishing connection between the parts and the whole to see the pattern of relationships. Interpretation covers examining the connection or connections between the parts and the whole to make inferences about the implications. Forming judgments about meanings, qualities and values are related to evaluation. To engage in critical thinking means becoming fully aware of an idea or an action, reflect on it and react to it. We need to ask ourselves a few questions. Did we ever try to understand- how the mind processes the information, how much of our thinking is of good quality and how much of that is of bad quality? Whether our thinking is vague, inconsistent, incorrect, illogical or superficial? Do we have any conscious standards to check when we are thinking right and when our thinking is poor? While answering these questions most of us will find that many of us have more or less taken our thinking for granted. To become a critical thinker and for improving the quality of our thinking we have to examine the above issues seriously. One cannot become a critical thinker overnight but at the same time critical thinking is not a difficult to attain skill. One must be willing to put the efforts required in this regard. If practiced sincerely, critical thinking will become a habit. One most important characteristic required in a critical thinker is self-awareness. Self-awareness means being conscious of the assumptions, prejudices, biases

DeOÙeÙeve and beliefs which may deteriorate the quality of our thinking and not allowing these to creep in our thinking process. Self-awareness helps us to remain objective in our thinking. Open mindedness helps us significantly in becoming a critical thinker. An open minded person is one who is ready to consider different viewpoints and perspectives, remains open to alternative interpretations, and welcomes new explanation, model or paradigm if it explains the evidence better or is more consistent or is more data centric. By evaluating all reasonable inferences, accepting new priorities derived from revaluation of the evidence or reassessment of the real issues at stake and also examining unpopular views, an open minded person is in a position to reach a more convincing outcome. Honesty of purpose is always required in critical thinking. It means a clear understanding of whose interest is to be considered while making a decision, not ignoring any relevant fact and also following the time frame given in the case. If we work with this objective before us there won’t be chances of carrying any hidden agenda as in organizations, the organizational goal is supreme. A critical thinker uses rationality. Use of rationality can be related to relying on reason and not on emotion, seeking evidence, not ignoring any known evidence which has a meaning in the situation and following evidences. Rationality also means being concerned more with finding the best explanation and asking valid questions. Critical thinking also requires discipline. Here we are disciplined when we are precise, meticulous and comprehensive, don’t look for shortcuts; resist manipulation and irrational appeals and avoid snap judgments.

Learning

Critical thinkers are ready to challenge their beliefs and keep learning from situations and experiences. They look at the surface and also beneath the surface. They know things are often different from how they appear. Critical thinkers are different from non-critical thinkers who consider their facts as the only relevant ones, take their own perspective as the only sensible one and feel their goals the only valid goals. It will be wrong to assume that critical thinkers will not make any mistake and their decisions will always be perfect ones. But one thing can be said for sure i.e. the probability of making mistakes and taking wrong decisions will be much less for those who think critically than those who are non-critical thinkers. That is why critical thinking is recommended for executives, managers and decision makers. In today’s scenario when uncertainties are increasing and it’s gradually becoming difficult to predict future, critical thinking assumes more value. Although critical thinking is important for everyone in the organization, those in higher positions require it more as their decisions have a wider impact. Promoting critical thinking should be on agenda of any organization that calls itself progressive and professional. Critical thinking does not discount or subvert the experience that gut brings, rather it complements it. Conscious use of critical thinking enables people to examine the judgment of their gut or intuition and arrive at a well-reasoned decision. So, we can find some value in becoming a critical thinker. 

Buyer-Customer

Convert a into an Account The goal of an organization should be to develop a Buyer into an Account, stage by stage.

A man died. He was told he had a choice between Heaven and Hell. He insisted that he wanted to look around before arriving at a decision. He found that Heaven was manned by god; it was serene and bathed in a white light. People were very friendly, walking around in white robes, singing hymns. It was nice but a tad boring. On his visit to Hell, he was surprised to find people having fun. They were playing golf or watching TV, and the weather was very pleasant. It was manned by the devil. He opted for Hell. But when he eventually arrived in Hell, everything was different. It was hot and terrible. People were miserable and sick. “What happened,” he asked the devil. “This isn’t what I saw when I visited.” “When you were visiting,” replied the devil, “you were a PROSPECT. Now my good man, you’re a CUSTOMER!”

he days of the above story are over. Today’s customer is pampered with choices and over pampered with service. You can no more ask today’s customer - “Do you want lower price, better service or high quality products?” No marks for guessing, for his answer will be”ALL THE THREE.” Today’s organizations have to deal with a new breed of customers who carry a new customer ego - “I want to buy the way I want to buy.” Most organizations are yet to catch up with this new breed of customers. As a result, customers feel over promised and under-delivered. Little wonder that the level of customer loyalty is low. Loyalty implies that the customer buys from you repeatedly. A customer is one for whom buying from you has become a HABIT. Without a strong track record of

repeat purchase, he cannot be termed a customer; he is only a buyer. A buyer graduates into a customer when he makes regular purchases. A customer develops into an account when he starts purchasing across product and service lines, recommends to others to buy from you and most importantly, when he has become immune to the pull from competition. An account is built over time. Organizational focus should be on building stable accounts rather than making a single sale. You transact with buyers, relate with customers and partner your accounts. Increased customer loyalty will result in enormous cost saving in an organization. It will mean reduced marketing costs, for customer acquisition costs a lot more money than getting an existing customer to make repeat purchases. It costs seven times more to generate a new customer than to get an existing one to repeatedly purchase from you. Customer loyalty also means reduced customer turnover expenses and increased crossselling income. As much as customer retention and account building have a positive impact on profitability, customer defection and losing of an account to competition has a negative impact. When you lose an account - a long-

term customer, it really affects your bottom line because a long-term customer does not tend to be overly sensitive to price.

The key benefits of building an account are:  Sales go up because the customer is buying more from YOU.  You strengthen your position in the market when customers buy from you INSTEAD of your competitor.  Marketing costs go down because you don’t have to spend money on attracting a repeat customer, since you already have him.  Being a satisfied customer, he tells his friends, thereby reducing your advertising budget a little.  You are better insulated from price wars because a loyal customer is less likely to be lured away by a little discount.  Finally, a happy customer is likely to sample your other product lines, thus helping you to acquire a larger customer share.  The above results in a scenario where the company spends less on acquiring new customers; consequently, it can afford to pay its employees better. Better pay prompts a chain reaction with a host of benefits. If a company is able to retain good employees, loyalty both within and outside the company improves - from employees as well as customers.

An account is built in stages. 1. Stage one - a suspect. We call them suspects because we suspect that they may buy from us, but we don’t know for sure. A suspect is one who has just become aware of your product. 2. Stage two - a prospect. A prospect is someone who must qualify on at least two key criteria: The need for your product or service and his ability to make the decision to buy. However, we disqualify a prospect at this stage when we know that they don’t have the decision making ability to make the purchase, though they may have the need for the product or service. The sooner you disqualify a prospect, the better it is. Following up with an unqualified suspect or prospect is a waste of money, time and effort. The goal is to turn qualified prospects into first-time customers, then into repeat customers and eventually develop them into accounts. 3. Stage three in building an account is transacting with first-time buyers. He makes the initial investment on your product or service. A buyer will buy from you, and will also buy from your competitor. He is still making his post-purchase evaluation. From an organizational perspective, making a sale isn’t the objective of the marketing process. It is the beginning of a lifetime relationship with the customer. It’s a rare case when a customer can be sold something only once. The first-time buyer is essentially trying out your product or service. If a continuing relationship has to be developed, it has to begin with the first purchase. If the first purchase does not

satisfy the buyer, there will probably not be a second. He forms a set of perceptions based on his buying experience. If the perceptions meet or exceed his expectations, there is a good likelihood that he will purchase again. 4. This leads to stage four, where a buyer has turned into a customer. He repeatedly purchases from you. 5. Stage five is to develop this customer into an account. Every interaction should be seen as an opportunity to add value. It is important that your interaction with repeat customers works to deepen the relationship. This customer in turn responds with more information about himself, becomes increasingly loyal and continues to push sales and profit upwards. These actions enable the repeat customer to view your business not just as a building with a particular address or phone number, but as an organization of human beings with whom he has developed a relationship. The relationship has progressed into trust; now you can be more proactive with the client. You have proved that you are dependable and accountable. You have now earned his confidence, and he increasingly seeks your inputs on ideas and services. Value addition becomes mutual. He starts encouraging others to buy from you. He talks about you and does marketing for you. When the customer goes out of the way to use your services, even if doing so means paying a little more, it shows that he has ceased to see you as a salesperson; he sees you as an ally, a partner. When the relationship develops to this level, there is little a competitor can do to lure him away. You develop a strong and ongoing relationship that makes him immune to the pull from competition. The goal within each stage of development is to take the relationship to the next stage of development. The goal of interacting with the prospect is to turn a prospect into a first-time buyer, the buyer into a customer and the customer into an account. Failure to develop a one-time buyer into an account ROBS the company of profit and valuable referrals. A study shows that the probability of selling something to a prospect is only about 5% to 20%, while the probability of selling something to an existing customer is 60-70%. Surveys show that on an average, it takes about seven calls to close a first sale and only three to close a subsequent sale. So it makes business sense to develop accounts. So, instead of trying to think of a strategy that will appeal to the whole universe and coming up with nothing, concentrate on individual sales, individual customers, and groom them into accounts - this will lead to overall improvement in sales and profit. How do I sell ten thousand tickets for the next game? Easy, you sell it one ticket at a time and then give them a good game! The future games will be taken care of.

Take care of your customer’s future and he will take care of yours. Taarangan

Banking as a Fundamental Right –

2. Affordability: Though large number of accounts have been opened in the recent past, there are no transactions in a large proportion of these accounts, primarily because the cost of transaction is high. Further, banking is not a service that is to be provided by the State. It is a service that has to be provided on commercial lines. Therefore, it should be affordable.

Indian Perspective Dr. Om Prakash Lal AGM MCB, Ludhiana

undamental Rights, enshrined in the Constitution of India, guarantee civil liberties such that all Indians can lead their lives in peace and harmony as citizens of India. These include individual rights common to most liberal democracies, such as equality before law, freedom of speech and expression, and peaceful assembly, freedom to practice religion, and the right to constitutional remedies for the protection of civil rights by means of writs such as habeas corpus. Over a period of time, a debate has been going on as to whether Banking can be included in the ambit of fundamental right in the Indian context.

Global Perspective Under Canadian law, everyone has the right to open a personal bank account. A bank cannot refuse to open a bank account for an individual merely because he/ she is unemployed or does not make a minimum deposit or because he/she has previously been bankrupt — as long as they have the proper identification. Likewise, in the UK, banks cannot refuse to open an ordinary

deposit account except where it is not possible for the bank to identify the customer in a reliable manner or bank has reasons to suspect abuse or if it has any past experience of the customer materially breaching the contract entered into with the bank. EU is presently holding consultations on a document which, among others, seeks to ensure facilities of consumers’ access to basic bank accounts, including a provision which allows switch over of the bank account providers, including on a cross-border mode. Thus, across the globe, the provision of a basic banking account for the consumer is considered a right.

Indian context In India, RBI has issued guidelines advising banks to offer a ‘Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account’ without any minimum balance and provision of basic services without any charges (subject to limitations of operations), thus, conferring a right to every citizen to have a bank account.

The three pre-requisites 1. Access: For Banking to have an effect of a fundamental right, it has to be available on the doorsteps of the individuals. RBI is targeting that

3. Fair and transparent delivery: For the people to avail of banking services, the delivery should be consistently fair and transparent. Use of improved technology can make the system more reliable. Therefore, for making a demand for declaring banking a fundamental right, the bankins services have to be made accessible, affordable and reliable from an implementation perspective.

Credit is fundamental right – Mohd Yunus Grameen Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economist driven by his belief that credit is a fundamental human right, established the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh in 1983. He hoped to help impoverished people escape poverty by providing loans and teaching them sound financial principles. From Yunus’ personal loan of small amounts of money to destitute basket weavers in Bangladesh in the mid-70s, the Grameen Bank has advanced to the forefront of a burgeoning world movement toward eradicating poverty through microlending. Replicas of the Grameen Bank model operate in more than 100 countries worldwide. However in Indian context, Bank credit is available only to those people who are credit worthy. The need therefore is to educate the people, make them financially literate and credit worthy to take them out of poverty. It is for this reason that the Reserve Bank is vigorously pursuing the twin policy objectives of financial inclusion and financial literacy. 

Business

Electronic commerce (or e-commerce) encompasses all business conducted by means of computer networks. Advances in telecommunications and computer technologies in recent years have made computer networks an integral part of the economic infrastructure. More and more companies are facilitating transactions over web. There has been tremendous competition to target each and every computer owner who is connected to the Web.

Vivek Prasad Kerala Zone

n simple terms, E-Commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services on the Internet, especially the World Wide Web. In practice, this term and a newer term, e-business, are often used interchangeably. People use the term “e-commerce” to describe encrypted payments on the Internet. Sometimes these transactions include the real-time transfer of funds from buyer to seller and sometimes this is handled manually through an eft-pos terminal once a secured order is received by the merchant. Auction sites such as Ebay and TradeMe have done an enormous amount to get ordinary people involved in online trading. Internet sales are increasing rapidly as consumers take advantage of lower prices offer by wholesalers retailing their products. Doing e-business is cost effective; it reduces logistical problems and puts a small business on a par with giants such as Amazon.com or General Motors. Every financial transaction eventually turns into an electronic process. Unlike the brick-and-mortar environment, in e-commerce there is no physical store space, insurance or infrastructure investment. All you need is an idea, a unique product, and a well-designed web storefront to reach your customer. E-mail is one example of how people collaborate to exchange information and work on solutions. It has transformed the way organizations interact with suppliers, vendors, business partners and customers.

Banks facilitate E-commerce by: 1) Net banking/phone banking: This is an online banking facility available for savings account holders as well as current account holders. Some of the special Net banking services are: Demat accounts for sale/purchase of stocks and shares, Foreign Exchange services, Direct/Instant payment of bills on the account-holder’s behalf, Financial Planning. 2) Credit/Debit Cards: the most vital trade instrument, namely the Credit or Debit Card, without which E-commerce would be impossible.

For developing countries like India, e-commerce offers considerable opportunity. E-commerce in India is still in nascent stage, but even the most-pessimistic projections indicate a boom. Indian middle class of 288 million people is equal to the entire U.S. consumer base. This makes India a real attractive market for e-commerce. A report by the Internet and Mobile Association of India has revealed that India’s E-commerce market is growing at an average rate of 70 percent annually and has grown over 500 percent since 2007. Apparently, more online users in India are willing to make purchases through the Internet. India has an internet user base of about 137 million as of June 2012. The penetration of e-commerce is low compared to markets like the United States and the United Kingdom but is growing at a much faster rate with a large number of new entrants. As of 2012, most of the e-commerce companies are yet to start making money. However, due to their growth prospects, many venture capital firms such as Accel Partners have invested considerably. In one of the biggest fund rising, Flipkart.com, in August 2012, raised about `822 crore (US$ 149.6 million). Entertainment ticketing website BookMyShow.com raised `100 crore (US$18.2 million) investment by Accel Partners. But security continues to be a problem for online businesses. Data protection and the integrity of the system that handles the data are serious concerns. Computer viruses are rampant, with new viruses discovered every day. Viruses cause unnecessary delays, file backups, storage problems and other similar difficulties. The danger of hacker accessing files and corrupting accounts adds more stress to an already complex operation. But it has created a new economic ecosystem and has become the virtual main street of the world. Today e-commerce has grown into a huge industry which tends to strengthen in the coming time. 

s a banker we should know where and on what it is applicable.

with PAN number TDS02. System will not accept TDS02 without PAN number.

It is applicable on Payments to contractors, on rent, on Salary and on Interest on securities.

The option of Form 15G / H is not to be suggested as a tax evasion measure.

At branch level it is the responsibility of the Branch Head, i.e. the person heading the branch in whatever scale he may be,to see that the TDS norms are applied properly.

It is also to be mentioned that only individuals can submit Form 15G/H. All other bodies have to take a TAX/TDS exemption letter every year from their assessment Officer.

The accounts involved are Solid Suncr066, Suncr116, Suncr115, GENSUS011 and Sundep021.

Recently a the format of Form 15G / H has been circulated by the bank.

Every day TDS is deducted by the system on maturing term deposits or on renewal of term deposits and parked in office account suncr066. The branch has to take out a report,for previous month, after month end, from Finacle DR > Misrpt > others > TDS01. This report lists details of TDS deducted CustID wise. Total of this report must match with the balance in Suncr066. Looking at this report, the branch will come to know of the TDS deducted, may be in branch, VIP accounts or Large amounts of TDS deducted. Branch can contact the customers and inform them about the TDS having been deducted. Any customer whose total projected annual income is less than taxable income limit as applicable to him/her can submit form 15 H (Senior Citizens) or 15 G in triplicate, along with a copy of his PAN number (one for branch record, second copy to be sent to IT commissioner and Third copy to be given to customer as acknowledgement AFTER ensuring that the details have been added in CUMM.) Without PAN number the option in CUMM is TDS20 and

leejebieCe

petve 2013

Important details to be entered in CUMM are date of submission of Form 15 G/H and will remain in effect up to end of next financial year. For example Form 15G/H submitted on 15.05.2013 will remain effective up to 31.03.2014. It has to be given every year in April or May. In case a customer gives 15G /H after TDS has been deducted but not yet remitted, the branch can refund the TDS deducted through the menu RFTDS. Input will be customer id / account number and date from and To for TDS deducted. The amount of TDS deducted will be taken to SUNCR115 from where it can be transferred to any operative account of the customer. After refunds, the TDS balance in suncr 066 has to be remitted to your Zonal Office for onward electronic remittance to Income Tax Department. Although the Last day for TDS remittance is 7th of next month, we should remit to ZO before 5th so as to give some cushion to ZO. Sometimes it happens that the TDS to be deducted is more than the interest being credited and either the customer has not given TDS operative account from where to deduct TDS or there is no balance in it. In that case

the shortfall is debited from Office account Gensus011.This account is a system account and no manual entry is allowed. Later on the customer can deposit money in his operative account and we can recover the amount through the Menu RECSHF. Otherwise on maturity or renewal of the concerned TDR account, the shortfall will be recovered along with the interest from the date of debit. It is why we put interest on TDS as “Y” while opening TDR account. If we are opening the Term Deposit account through ONS menu HOAACTD, then we also have a Tab IMPACT ON TDS to know the projected TDS of that customer or we can try the menu HTDSPROJ to know the projected TDS of a customer. Normally any TDS account for over Rs 50,000/- should not be opened without PAN number and also any customer depositing over Rs One lakh can be informed about liability of TDS. To know the maturity value we can use the menu DEPMOD. It can also be used to enquire principal to be deposited today for a certain maturity value after a certain period. After the TDS report is taken out and refunds affected on the basis of Form 15 G or H, we have to remit the amount of balance in suncr066 to Zonal Office making it NIL for the previous month. Then we should use the Menu RMTDS to put a logical lock on refunds. Thus there should never be a debit balance in suncr066 and no deduction of a particular month remain outstanding after 7th of next month. There is also an account Suncr116 for tax deducted quarterly from NRO accounts. For these accounts report can be taken out from Finacle DR > Misrpt > Deposits > withholding tax Report for each quarter. This amount also should be remitted to the ZO. We use the Menu TDSCHM for entry of challan details for the

amounts remitted by the ZO, who will send us counterfoil of the challan. At the end of every quarter we also use the menu TDSCHREP for feeding the detail and the Menu TDSDL to download the quarterly data which has details of individual TDS deducted, refunds and challan filed every month. With the help of this download the branch CA files the quarterly report 26Q and give us acknowledgement of the same. The branch should have copy of Monthly TDS01, copy of Quarterly report on withholding tax, copy of Form15G/H, counterfoil of challan and acknowledgement of quarterly report. In rural branches, farmers may not have PAN number or a person may not have PAN number if his income is not taxable. In such situation Farmers can submit FORM61 and others Form 60, a copy of which must be sent to the Income Tax Commissioner at least every half year. If a customer requires merely interest certificate, we can give him from the menu INTCERT. But for TDS, now we have to register the branch on NSDL website and after the quarterly report is filed, then we can download Form 16 for Tax Deduction from the site and give it to the customer after being signed by the branch head. No manual interest TDS certificate is to be used.

quarterly interest to be credited. But Finacle applies the interest up to 26/27 of the month and the remaining amount is added to next quarter. But of course the total interest paid, TDS deducted or refunded can be enquired through the menu ACM sub option 2. Interest is payable monthly or quarterly or half yearly in MIC and QIC accounts. The interest goes directly to their interest credit accounts if entered at the time of opening accounts. If it is not there (in migrated accounts from CIBEX), the interest gets parked in Office account Sundep021. This Office account should also be explored entry wise and we can know for which account interest is parked . Through ACM and CUMM we can find the operative account of that TDR account holder. If it is properly confirmed, then we can link the operative account in ACM. This Office account should also be made NIL every fortnight. In case we are unable to trace the operative account, then we can take a jotting of pending credit entries and keep them in a separate balance book. Normally the balance should either remain static or reduce in this account. 

If the branch is deducting other TDS, like TDS on rent, for payment to Auditors, then we have to credit the amount in suncr066 and give the data like TAN and Pan account number of the party to Data Centre to enable the proper upload by the CA. Interest on Savings account and RD accounts is exempt from TDS. To enquire for interest payments, we can use the F option in Menu ACM, to know the flows.

Introduction: In accordance with the Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961, as amended from time to time, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation the Central Statistics Office (CSO). Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation releases Consumer Price Indices (CPI) for all-India and States/UTs separately for rural, urban and combined every month. The methodology of compilation is the responsibility of the Ministry of Labour and Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, respectively. The Labour Bureau, an attached office of the Ministry of Labour & Employment, has been compiling and disseminating Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) since its inception in the year 1946. The Labour Bureau brings out CPI Numbers for Industrial Workers (Base 1960=100) in respect of 50 centers (comprising 32 factory centers, 8 mine centers and 10 plantation centers), an all-India index which is a weighted average of the indices for the 50 centers was compiled and published. As per the recommendations of International Labour Organization (ILO) the family income and expenditure surveys should at least be conducted at intervals not more than 10 years. These surveys are conducted under the guidance of technical Advisory Committee on Statistics of price and Cost of living (TAC on SPCL).

A consumer price index (CPI) measures changes in the price level of consumer goods and services purchased by households. The CPI is a statistical estimate constructed using the prices of a sample of representative items whose prices are collected periodically. Subindexes and sub-sub-indexes are Coverage: computed for different categories Two types of data are needed to generate the CPI: Price data and Weighting data. and sub-categories of goods and The price data are collected for a sample of goods and services from a sample of sales services, being combined to outlets in a sample of locations for a sample of times. The weighting data are estimates of produce the overall index with the shares of the different types of expenditure in the total expenditure covered by the index. These weights are usually based upon expenditure data obtained from expenditure weights reflecting their shares in the surveys for a sample of households or upon estimates of the composition of consumption total of the consumer expenditures expenditure in the National Income and product Accounts. covered by the index. It is one of The index is usually computed monthly, or quarterly, as a weighted average of subseveral price indices calculated by indices for different components of consumer expenditure, such as food, housing, clothing, each of which is in turn a weighted average of sub-sub-indices. The index most national statistical agencies. The reference period, usually called the base year, often differs both from the weightannual percentage change in a CPI is reference period and the price reference period. used as a measure of inflation. The selection of markets for price collection in each center is done in consultation with the concerned State Government authorities and other recognized user interests. The price collectors and supervisors, entrusted with the collection of prices from the selected markets/shops, regularly, every week/month, are generally the employees/officials of the State Bureaus of Economics and Statistics or the State Labour Department concerned as also by the regional offices and headquarters of the Labour Bureau.

Periodicity of the publication of the CPI is monthly, within one month after the end of the reference month. The CPI (IW) and CPI (AL/RL) data are released simultaneously to all interested parties by the Labour Bureau by issuing the press releases Press Note on Consumer Price Index (Industrial Workers) and Press Note on Consumer Price Index (Rural Labourers). The CPI (UNME) data are released simultaneously to all interested parties by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation by issuing the press release

Data are disseminated for 3 separate consumer price indices:  The Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI [IW]);  The Consumer Price Index for Rural Labourers (CPI [AL/ RL]) and  The Consumer Price Index for Urban Non-Manual Employees (CPI [UNME]). The CPI-IW is presented in a clear manner in user-friendly tables. However, indexes are published for five main aggregates only: (1) Food, pan, supari, tobacco, and intoxicants; (2) Fuel and Light; (3) Housing; (4) Clothing, bedding and footwear; and (5) Miscellaneous, and for nine and five sub-aggregates under main aggregates 1 and 5, respectively. Index series for, say, fuel, or electricity, or for all goods or all services are thus not available.

These index numbers are used by industry, commerce and Government to regulate the dearness allowance not only of their industrial workers, but also other employees including officers. It is therefore only natural that the workers and their trade unions are deeply exercised over the movements in the index numbers, as their pay packet, specifically the dearness allowance component is linked to the movement of these indices. These indices have therefore attracted considerable attention and close scrutiny of the various user interests, particularly the trade union organizations, who have expressed dissatisfaction with several aspects of these index numbers.

CPI and Market: The financial markets have become more sophisticated over time, investment products have been created to help even the average person hedge inflation risk. Mutual funds or Banks, concerned about rising inflation might purchase special inflation protected bonds also known as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). Movements in the prices of goods and services most directly affect fixed income securities. If prices are rising, fixed interest payments are worthless. Modest and steady inflation is to be expected in a growing economy, but if the prices of resources used in the production of goods rise quickly, manufacturers may experience profit declines. On the other hand, deflation can be a negative sign indicating a decline in consumer demand. In this situation, manufacturers are forced to drop prices to sell their products but the resources and commodities used in production may not fall by an equivalent amount. Hence the company’s margins are squeezed due to the stickiness of

Inflation in all major indices largely followed each other i.e. CPI and WPI. The gap between WPI and CPIs had widened in 2009-10 due to higher food inflation, as food items have a much larger weight in the CPI vis-à-vis the WPI. Food items contribute a weight of 46.20% in the CPI-IW and 69.15% in the CPI-AL as against 24.31% in the WPI. However in the financial year (2011-12), the gap has significantly narrowed due to drastic fall in food inflation, and the CPI-IW and WPI are tracking each other closely. Food inflation for all CPIs and the WPI was about 2% in December’11 and dropped further in January’12. WPI food articles inflation turned negative in January ’12.

Measures to Contain Inflation: The government monitors the price situation regularly as price stability remains high on its agenda. Measures taken to contain prices of essential commodities include selection ban on exports and futures trading in food grains, zero import duty on select food items, permitting import of pulses and sugar by PSUs, distribution of imported pulses and edible oils through quota of non-levy sugar. In addition state governments are empowered to act against hoarders of food items by holding in abeyance the removal of restrictions on licensing, stock limits and movement of food articles under the essential Commodities Act 1955. Government measures to contain inflation particularly Food Inflation are as below: i) Fiscal Measures

In this measures government cut import duty, permitted certain Board & Corporation to import essential commodities.

ii) Administrative Measures

In this measures government levy restriction on full or partial export of essential food grains. Monitored price systems, tariff rate and central issue price for below poverty line (BPL) etc.

iii) Monetary Measures

As part of the monitory policy review stance, the RBI takes suitable steps with increase or decrease in policy rates and related measures to moderate demand to levels consistent with the capacity of the economy to maintain its growth without provoking price rise.

Conclusion: The prices of goods and services fluctuate over time, but when prices change too much and too quickly, the effects can shock an economy. The CPI, the principle gauge of the prices of goods and services, indicates whether the economy is experiencing inflation, deflation or stagflation. The CPI is the most important and widely watched economic indicator and it’s the best known measure for determining cost of living. It gave directions to investors in making appropriate investment decision and protecting themselves. 

Work place conflicts are almost unavoidable. Not because that there are conditions created by any agency for the conflicts but because that attitudes are bound for that. To be more specific, it would be relevant to quote the sentences “peneB Ûeej yele&ve neWies, DeeJeepe keâjWies ner” and “nce PeieÌ[e GvneR mes keâjles nQ efpevemes nce hÙeej keâjles nQ”. The personal grudge of having a complaint or a strong feeling that one has been treated unfairly is termed as: Grievance. The same when arose in work place, makes a bigger impact on almost all spheres of activity. However, the grievances real or imaginary, are a part of human relationship. They arise even in the basic unit of society – family. To tackle the same, social scientists working for different corporations have come out with some formulations during the years and have been able to resolve at their level. Still the subject is lesser taken than what ought to be. 24

PAPER! ENVIRONMENT! LIFE! We all know that paper is made from tree & how important trees are in our life.

Some facts & figures 1. Approx. 324 L. of water is used to produce 1 KG of Paper (Source: Environment Canada) 2. Paper manufacturing is the 3rd largest user of fossil fuels worldwide. Source: American Forest and Paper Association 3. Paper manufacturing is the largest industrial user of water per pound of finished product. Source: American Forest and Paper Association 4. 10,000 trees are cut down annually in China to make holiday cards. Source: Xinhua News Agency 5. 3 cubic yards of landfill space can be saved by one ton of recycled paper. Source: 50 Simple things you can do to save the Earth, Jodi B., Sudbury 6. Every ton of recycled paper saves about 17 trees. Source: Purdue Research Foundation and US Environmental Protection 7. Recovered paper is used to make a variety of products, including copier paper, paper towels and napkins, corrugated boxes, and hydraulic mulch. Source: Environmental Health and Safety Online These facts & figures shows how we harm our environment by wasting paper. Even after knowing the consequences of living without trees & water, we waste voluminous amount of paper in various forms. Many industries are wasting paper but here we will discuss how much Banking industry contributes in wasting of paper & thereby harming the environment.

Jitendra Bhatia New Delhi Zone

Tips to save paper at office * Print only when it is absolutely necessary and promote a 'think before you print' attitude. * Set computer defaults to print double-sided. * Proof read documents on screen before printing. You don't want to reprint pages because of errors that could have been avoided. * Print addresses directly on envelopes and avoid using labels. * Fill copier trays correctly to avoid paper jams. * While buying paper or diaries, stick to recycled paper with a high percentage of post-consumer recycled content. * Opt for uncoloured paper and buy in bulk to reduce packaging. * Encourage reusing paper that has been printed only on one side. * Trim mailing lists used to send information to your customers to avoid unwanted and duplicate mailing. * Change the paper cups in the pantry with ceramic stuff that can be washed and put back on the shelf. * Use the fastest and paperless way to mail documents- email. * Reuse cardboard shipping boxes. Shipping boxes can be reused many times. * Send wastepaper for recycling * If you can, stop buying the newspaper and read the E paper instead. * Get your name off mailing lists that send you promotions you don't care about. * Opt for E-bill options with your phone, electricity service providers. * Get washable cloth towels for the kitchen and cut down on paper towel usage. * Teach children not to tear paper from notebooks to make airplanes. * If you enjoy reading, join a library rather than buying books. * Give wastepaper for recycling through Kabadiwala * Switch to recycled toilet paper. * Don't accept promotional fliers as they are going to go straight into the bin.

I present one example related to the closing statements generated every quarter.

When we save paper, we reduce the need to cut down trees.

For closing returns / statements each branch is wasting on an average 150 number of papers, which means of the 4200 branches , 630000 (150*4200) number of papers in one quarter is wasted & every year 2520000 number of paper is wasted per bank. Therefore for about 19 nationalized banks the amount of paper wasted in a year by banking industry is 47880000! and this is just for one specified work I discussed. Likewise there are many instances where we are wasting huge amounts of paper.

Paper accounts for more than half of all municipal solid waste. Anything we can do to save paper will help reduce the amount of trash going into landfills, and it will also reduce energy use and pollution associated with manufacturing, transporting, and recycling new paper products. Whether you have a home office or work in an office with others, you can save paper by implementing some minor changes in your work habits. Please give it a serious thought and implement suitably.

Save Papers = Save Trees & Enjoy Life!!!

he House-sparrow (Passer domesticus) is found in most part of the world with a reputation for playfullness and noisy chorusing; sparrows are a welcome sight in Gardens, parks, backyard and homes. They are extremely social birds, often feeding, bathing, dusting and roosting in large groups or small groups. They stay within few meters of cover always alert for predators and darts in to hedges or perch on preferably on acacia tree or Berry plants (Zizyphus nummularia) nearby. Pairs are almost always monogamous (One life partner), choosing nest-sites that they return to together year after year. Despite its size, the House-sparrow is an extremely hardy bird, can make its home in almost any environment. Colonies of hose-sparrows can be found at altitude as high as 3000 mtrs (9000 ft) and can even survive in areas with no open water by feeding on berries. I had seen huge flock of around 600 of them roosting on a huge berry tree in desert national Park, sudashri, jaisalmer. Mostly they prefer to make their homes near human habitations including villages, farms and even busy cities. The association goes back centuries. The pair stays together for life. This faithful partnership are formed when the birds are still juveniles, witha young male selecting a site in man-made structures, cliffs or even openings inside street lights. Before chirruping loudly in order to attract the mate, the male with light grey head, brownish back, black breast and white belly, makes a loud call, monotonous tsi,tsi,tsi or cheer droops his wings and struts about arrogantly, twitching his partly cocked tail. Once a pair is formed, they line the nest with feather, moss, cotton dry grass, threads feathers etc. leaving a small entrance. Female lays her eggs around 3 to 5, pale greenish white, stippled, blotched with brown. Both birds take part in incubation and feeding, the fledglings are feed with insects like aphids and caterpillars and larvae and then weaved on to vegetable matter .Fledglings leave the nest after 2 weeks to explore the world. Successive broods are often raised.

Declining Population: The House-sparrow was one of the most common birds in the world but in recent past, this bird has seen decline over much of its natural range in both urban and rural habitat. The decline of House-sparrow is an indicator of the continued degradation of the environment in which we live. It is also a warning bell that alerts us to watch out for detrimental effects on our health and well-being. I have observed since many years that they prefer to live in the colonies in the out skirt of cities where there are hedges, trees, farms, open land from where they can easily collect nesting materials and enough insects to feed their fledglings. The modern construction as they prefer to tuck in to crevices. Destruction of their habitat to lack of insects to rear their young is also one of the reason.

Save House Sparrows Jaipal Singh Jadeja Jamnagar Branch Rajkot Zone

You can make a difference: We can individually encourage youngsters, our neighbour to save this sweet friend of ours. Feel a shallow dish or a bowl with a water in the verandah or balcony or backyard. Keep grains like pieces of rice or wheat or bajra or kang. Food you offer should be around the water bowls. Change the water in the bowl every day. Sparrows are seed eaters, needs more water. Keep the Shallow dish or bowl with water in a shady place, see that water is changed every day otherwise birds can fall ill. Make sure feeding sparrows or birds are safe from Dogs, cats and human foot falls. Fix the nest boxes near this feeding area, fixed or hanged near roofs or lid and on the wall made of hard board or recycle wood mostly in brown shade to keep off rain drops, away from sun. There should not be any perch so that predator’s gains a grip. It should be around food and water you offer, where this nest box can be opened for inspection. People living in bungalows or homes around Parks, Gardens or people in societies in the outskirt of the city should be encourage to use nest boxes where results will be more successful. Teach children of school the value of birds how we can just give them space and save them. I personally keep a dish with a waste of broom sticks brush into a 3 inch pieces and jute strings and a cotton from my farm tied with thread or pasted on the dry stick on my terrace, helps sparrows to collect these nesting materials. In cities you can request and guide garden officer to plant organic garden, more hedges. Birds feeder distributed by Wohra community was great work done 2 years back...Around cities, villages or towns, on the edges of rivers or water tunnels, plant like Desi babool (Acacia nilotica) should be planted where they mostly prefer to roost. I had seen around 800 House sparrows roosting on single Babool tree in outskirt of Jamnagar. 20th March was celebrated as World House - Sparrow day, let us help and spread message to protect them and conserve and produce more habitat for them. Invite sponsors to donate Nest boxes. We can collectively, we can do miracle. SAVE HOUSE SPARROWS, SAVE ENVIRONMENT.

Tomorrow’s Just a Myth and Fable Debashree D/o Shri S. K. Mishra BDM, Thanjavur Cluster

I wake up to pending requests, My mother’s constant hounds and jests, To finish my mounting work today. Sooner or later, I’ll have to pay, The expired bills on my table, Tomorrow’s just a myth and fable. What’s the harm and all this flurry? Where am I leaving, what’s the hurry? I’ll do my work on a later date, But who can argue with their fate? Now I lie, amidst whispers and babble, Tomorrow’s just a myth and fable. I feel a pain, fresh and new The car that hit me simply flew. I hear someone, “She’s still alive!” The doctor says I may survive. I lay attached to tubes and cable, Tomorrow’s just a myth and fable. I dream of life, of songs and dance, Oh how I long for a second chance! To see the world, the oceans deep, To finish my work lying in a heap. To see the fire-hiss and crackle, Tomorrow’s just a myth and fable. My lungs collapse, my pulse rumbles. My body’s feeble, it shakes and fumbles. The doctor’s near, hard at work, My heart stops with a jerk. I leave this world-God’s mystery and miracle, Tomorrow’s just a myth and…..fable.

Longing for Love You are exactly what my soul strives for Being without you, I am left with nobody I am left with nothing. If happiness deludes you, Go out looking for the same As I have embraced you In the bosom of my heart I do not look for anything more. I shall melt away In my separation from you I shall live in your midst Through long days, long nights Through stretches of months, even years. If you do love somebody else And never come back to me ever Let it be so, Let you possess what you strive for Never mind the pains and sufferings simmering within me.

(Vishwas Nerurkar found out and collected all the data about my songs and gave the correct information to Guinness World Records, because of which I got this title),” she added.

Vishwas Nerurkar

ishwas had researched, compiled and edited a book title “Swarasha” enlisting details of all the Hindi film songs of Asha Bhosle, which paved her way to enter in to Guinness book of World Records. Vishwas Nerurkar was born in Mumbai on July 18, 1960. He graduated from Ramnarain Ruia College from Arts faculty. He joined Bank of India as a clerk in the year 1984, and recently got promoted to scale/grade II and posted at our Raigad Zone. From childhood he was ardent connoisseur of Hindi film music and made it his hobby to systematically collect recordings of all the great maestros as well as any books, booklets information and photographs of personalities connected with music – lyricists, singers and musicians. Very early in life, he compiled very rare information about musical personalities and their works. His early compilations, dating back to 1985, comprise of filmographies of several legendary composers like C. Ramchandra, Shankar-Jaikishan, Naushad, O.P. Nayyar, Sudhir Phadle S.D. Burman, Vasant Desai, Roshan, Hemant Kumar and Madan Mohan originally released in booklets of cyclostyled sheets. Vishwas realized that this priceless anthologies need to be presented in the form of bound books with biographical notes, photographs, and, supplemental with articles on the musicians to form a series of collector’s

volumes. His first venture that caught the public eye and earned him the honour of a meticulous archivist was the handsomely produced ‘Lata Mangeshkar Gandhar Swaryatra’ a song compilation melody Diva Lata Mangeshkar. This was followed by ‘Swarasha’ and ‘Kishore Kumar – The Many Faces of A Genius’ a volumes dedicated to prolific and versatile singers Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar respectively. Returning to his research on composers, Vishwas updated and released many memorable books starting with ‘Naushad – A Filmography, ‘Pancham – An Anthology of R.D. Burman’s musical works’, ‘Star Romantic Music Maestro of The Century – The Legendary O.P. Nayyar’, ‘Saat Suron Ka Saath – Shankar-Jaikishan’, ‘Swargandharv Sudhir Phadke’, ‘Khayyam – The Man The Music’, ‘Madan Mohan – Ultimate Melodies’ and ‘Vasant Desai – Composer Par Excellence’. He has also compiled a book titled ‘Qatrah-Qatrah’ on one of the supreme combinations of lyricist– Gulzar and composer– R.D. Burman, our Hindi film industry has ever produced. All these books are authentic and complete documentations of the musical works of respective composers and are also being referred by many music researchers as base reference books for their PHD work. All these memorable books of Vishwas were released by renowned personalities from different fields like veteran actor Shri Dilip Kumar, Lyricist Shri Gulzar, Shri Balasaheb Thackeray, evergreen actor Shri Dev Anand, legendary singer Smt. Asha Bhosle, Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, versatile director Shri Yash Chopra, dream girl Hema Malini and melodious playback singer Vani Jairam. In the year 2007 a rare and great honour was conferred on Vishwas, when his book on music director Khayyam, was released by Hon'ble Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh at his official residence in Delhi. Driven by his love for music and keen for that valued information, he chronicled and documented for music lovers of today and tomorrow, Vishwas Nerurkar has the good wishes and support of many likeminded enthusiasts, who, see in him the relentless researcher and archivist whose works will find a permanent place in posterity. 

The Star Athlete of BOI S

tars, per se, are self luminous, shining away to glory unto eternity. Bank of India has always tapped such glowing stars and encouraged them not only by offering them jobs in the bank, but also supporting them in their further pursuits of careers in such allied domains. One such acclaimed star holding centre stage in the vast field of Athletics is, Smt. Shraddha Yogesh Mandrekar, who gracefully carries the apt sobriquet “P. T. Usha of Bank of India”!

Born on 20th May, 1958 in a wellknown “Prabhu” Family, she had that noticeable verve and marked enthusiasm to excel in athletics. Shraddha, (nee- Sandhya) right from her childhood was very enthusiastic, having liking for sports. The ardent flair for athletics, accentuated by that vital “never-say-die” attitude, was her initial passport to sprinting / running competitions at her school. Noticing these traits in her quite early on, her parents encouraged her into performing with aplomb at various athletic contests in school. Her talent mushroomed under the initial coaching by Shri H. P. Naik, whence she excelled in Meets after Meets. These successes led her into bagging the State Level Heptathlon successively for five years (year-to-year). Well, the encomiums and plaudits didn’t stop there; rather, they enhanced and Sandhya created a new State record in Heptathlon in 1984 which stands aloft till date. The next level of ascendancy came when she was selected for the preparatory camp for the Seoul Asian Games in 1985. Thereafter, there was no looking back…...her performance peaked, acclaim grew and her reputation scaled to dizzy heights to culminate in the prestigious “Shiv Chhatrapati Award” having been conferred on her in 1986 by the Government of Maharashtra. Sandhya joined Bank of India in September, 1982 in the clerical cadre, having been recruited under the sports quota. She carried on the winning habit and matched her brilliant performance on track-&-field with that in banking echelons. Though very intelligent and painstaking, Sandhya could not take up a career as an Officer in the bank, due to family commitments, but known for her zeal in doing any assigned

Madhav N. Deodhar Retired Staff Mob. : 9869270451

work, she proved her mettle as a good banker and soon became a mainstay wherever she worked in the bank. Presently she is working at Panchpkhadi Branch, Navi Mumbai Zone. The hallmark of her persona is that she displayed equal passion in her work and never tweaked facilities accorded to her to shirk responsibility. Indeed, she believes and follows the dictum, “Work is Worship” to the hilt. Sandhya married Yogesh Mandrekar in 1987 and the odyssey of her running on track-&-field continued with added zeal. The awards and plaudits continued in equal measure. Alongside, she kept continuously contributing her best to the bank’s profile. Unfortunately the happily living couple has to suffer from a severe set back and face a peculiar problem (having a “Special Child”) in their life which has no solution; but being stubborn by nature, Sandhya is facing it boldly by praying to the Almighty to give her strength and courage. However, around 1992, her health took a sudden turn for the worse, necessitating continual medical treatment and prolonged convalescence as she suffered with a tumor in the spine and underwent surgery for removal of the same and was advised by doctor to give up active participation in sports competitions. Nevertheless, being brave and strongly believes in “Never to give up”, not being able to participate in competitive events, did not deter her…instead; the strong nuances so ingrained in her spurred her turning into Trainer and Coach. She now Coaches budding young talents at Holy Cross Convent High School, Thane and building up the GenNext to participate in the running competitions at various State and National Level. She is proud to showcase her array of many such fountainheads and has groomed a large number of trained running athletes. One of her athletes, Miss Apoorva Ghagare has won Gold Medals in Hurdles and Long Jump at the School National Athletic Meet held this year and she was awarded a “Nano Car, as the Best Athlete Award” which has made Sandhya feel proud for the field chosen by her. Indeed, once an athlete, always an athlete. A truly positive and optimistic person that she is, Sandhya epitomizes the quality of fortitude blending with charisma. Radiance is her inborn trait, while helpfulness is her forte. She is known to assist people irrespective of her own predicament, earning her lots of plaudits and respect at her work place and in social environs. As we know “Healthy Mind is in a Healthy Body”, Sandhya is no exception to it. She is a very jubilant, kind hearted, source of energy to one & all and a lovable person, and hence, obviously always surrounded by friends, like iron particles to a magnet. Bravo, Sandhya. Take a bow. We, at Bank of India, salute you and wish you all the very best in all your future endeavours.

he world is driven to unhappiness and frustration because it is driven by a sequence of desires. These waves means to fulfill. People resort to any means to fulfill their wishes. This could involve taking recourse to lying, harming others or damaging the environment. All religions have, therefore, condemned desire as the root cause of unhappiness. But when a desire is fulfilled we feel happy, not because our wish has been fulfilled but because for a moment there is no desire as the root cause. It is this state of “desirelessness” that we feel happy about. Of course, immediately there after another desire comes up. In the Bhagavad-Gita, a yogi has been described as the one who does not grieve and has no desire. The Jeevan, mukti in the sanyasapanishad is one who has achieved a state of complete “desirelessness”. As the root of this concept is the Mahavakya in the Ishopanishad. “Everything in the universe belongs to him. Those who have renounced their desires for material possessions enjoy the most. The BhagavadGita carries the theme further, “Kamayevadhi-karaste ma phaleshu kadachan.” Karma cannot be shunned and our objective should be to work without caring about the result. The state of true liberation comes when one performs all duties and obligations without bothering about the result. The way to achieve this state is through learning. “Sa vidya ya vimuktye”, true learning which liberates us from desire, craving, attachment and fear. Desire arises because they overtake our minds and create insecurities. This is what desire does. It distorts reality and relativity between objects. A clear mind laced with desire becomes selfish and loses all sense of proportion and concern. In the Gurukul of Sandipani, both Krishna and Sudama had to share tasks. They lived a life that laid importance of duty rather than the fruits of action. Naturally the concept-developed minds in which there was no place for desire. It also ensured that desire did not slide to the subconscious domain. If activated by any event, desires may generate a tsunami, which could implode and devastate the mind.

Mehrunnisa Irfan Mandlik Airoli Branch Navi Mumbai Zone

PUSHPA SUBRAMANIAN, OOPS !..... darling..... well she is rather known by this name..... for she loves being called..... darling.....

e here in our home called Airoli branch, is a closeknit family, each one complementing the other at all times…. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 6 SENIORS…… We share the firings of low performance, as well as, we each credit ourselves, when we are acknowledged…. All alike…. So, we are less perturbed, and fly less because the distribution is equal…. It all began on 16.05.2013, when our TARGET customer approached for a vehicle loan On interviewing him, our darling was not comfortable. She said, Meher, “I am not convinced, something is wrong”. The answers he gave, seemed he is well aware of what I am asking, and what documents I would ask and Meher, what pricks me is, he is asking for the branch sanction power. She further added, Yaar Nitin (our family part) agar koi loan maangega, to maximum maangega na, kyun branch sanction amount hi maangega? Anyway, let him come, we will see the documents. He also has account with other Bank so why he has come here? During this incident, Darling was called to attend Branch Managers’ Conference, where she had the chance to hear on risk management. She called me up to say, and she has seen photograph there and she felt this looked like the person who had come to the branch.

Later on 20.05.2013, at around 12.20, that person walks up to me with the file. Darling called me on phone and asked me to send him in her chamber. He is made to sit, and on the pretext of filling up the form, she comes to me and ask me to call up Zonal Office, Security Deptt. But all of the sudden he comes there. She immediately writes the same on the chit. Sensing he is being trapped, suddenly he moves towards the cabin, takes his file, and starts moving towards the door. Our darling goes behind him trying to call him, to which he says, his vehicle was being towed, and would come back and goes out. I was still in a state of shock, and called Security department. I can hear darling’s loud voice…. Chor, Chor I ask our staff to go behind him. I was full of worry for my darling, as I know, post her accident her leg gives her much pain and whenever I talked about it she would say joyfully, “I AM BUT A WELDED PIECE YAAR”. I keep glancing through the window. I saw her and our darling was dragging him with the help of our staff, and bringing him to the branch, panting… DRAMA UNFOLDS… when on the pretext of going to the loo, he probably calls his men… we were instructed to close the grills; he tells not to call the police and tries to bribe. Darling said you can’t buy us. To which, he now threatens to kill her. She smiled and grabbed his mobile and the car keys. It was difficult to keep him holding for long as he might attack her because he was resorting to all possible ways to run. That one hour, until the security officer arrived, was a real nightmare. However, my darling was not for a moment, scared or perturbed but was even cracking jokes. Finally, he was arrested and we the family hugged each other. That it ended well. On admiring her feat, our darling said, No, it is the team effort; it is not YOU or ME…. It’s the WE factor. I asked her much later. What would have happened, if he would have picked up the paperweight and thrown it on you, or any of us? She smiled, Yaar, he would have missed the shot. We all burst out laughing… AND REALLY TOO, WE HAVE STOOD AS ONE, AT ALL TIMES OF NEED, TOGETHER IN ALL DEEDS…. 

Health Plus

ealth has different connotations for different people. Being healthy does not merely imply loads of energy or absence of disease. Health is a positive entity and is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. In the present times with our automated and “removed from Nature” lifestyle, we literally have to “EARN” good health. The four foundation pillars of good health is the spelling of “Earn”, namely Exercise, Attitude, Rest, Nutrition.

1st Pillar of Optimal Health “Exercise” All are aware that exercise is essential for good health, but how many of us actually get around to implementing it? Generally, it is with a lot of difficulty that we manage to take time out for exercise. Hence it should be our aim to see that we derive at least three benefits from our exercise regime namely suppleness, strength and stamina. We often out of error consider walking to be the best exercise. True, walking may be the most simple and easy of all exercises and it requires no equipment or accessories except a good pair of shoes. Suppose we walk with friends carrying out gossip and conversations simultaneously, what have we done? We have done more of talking than walking where our tongue moves more in rhythm and the tongue gets more exercise than our body and legs.

Optimal Health… Just a Few Steps Away!

Let us learn the correct way of walking. Suppose a father scolds his son routinely for half an hour every morning. What is the outcome of the above on the boy say after 3 months? The son gets habituated to the daily routine scolding and soon it has no effect or impact on him whatsoever. Similarly, if we walk everyday the same way, our body gets accustomed to the routine and does not derive any additional benefit from the exercise after some time. Hence, it becomes imperative to alter our rhythm of walk. Here is what we should do. Walk a little, jog a little, walk a little, sprint a little, relax a little, go over the flyover if it comes in the path of the walk and do not avoid it. Break the routine rhythm. We should create a comfortable buildup in the chest, ease off, start again and so on. This gives the real benefit of walking. Also, do not binge unhealthy food after the walk. Attempt to do a variety of exercises such as swimming, cycling, jogging, yoga on different days for optimum benefit. Now we come to the very important issue of obesity. Obesity is not a cosmetic problem but it is to be treated at par with any other lifestyle disease. It is obesity, which triggers off diabetes, arthritis, heart afflictions and a host of other life threatening diseases. If you are walking for weight loss then do as follows. Walk for 10 seconds and stop completely for only a second. Again, walk for 10 seconds and stop again for a second. Why? A stalled car is difficult to push and needs much more energy to get to move, but once in motion it is very easy to push it and keep it in motion. Therefore, our calorie burn up is three times more in this mode of walking thus giving results sooner. Walk this way daily for about 20 minutes. Losing weight should not be isolated as an end by itself. It is one of the appropriate consequences of a healthy lifestyle.

2nd Pillar of Optimal Health “Attitude” Mehernosh Chhapkhanawalla Walkeshwar Branch Mumbai South Zone

It is also the single biggest determining factor of holistic health. It is not necessary that the person saying that the glass is half full is a positive thinker and the person saying that the glass is half empty is a negative person. Attitude is not so simply decided by a glass of water. Similarly a pushing attitude must not be interpreted as a positive attitude. Proper healthy attitude comprises of 5 balances in life namely: a) Physical Balance: Your first duty is towards your own self and towards your own well-being. You can lift up someone else only if you are strong. A sick person cannot do much in life either for himself or for others. Some are very proud of their strength and assertiveness. They say with pride “Duniya jhukti hai, jhukanewala chahiye” There is already a lot of misery and illness in the world. What we should assert is “Duniya uthti hai, uthanewala chahiye” b) Mental Balance: Do not harbour intense emotions such as anger, hatred, jealousy etc as they secrete excessive acid in the body. Acid destroys the vessel that contains it.

petve 2013

It not only what you eat that matters, its what is eating you that matters more. So do not bottle up emotions but direct them into pleasant constructive channels.

not know is “Shavasana.” “Shava” means a dead body. Doing this asana for around 15 minutes everyday is more energizing than sleeping for extended hours.

He who angers you indirectly controls you and your anger harms you more than the object of your anger.

4rd Pillar of Optimal Health “Nutrition”

c) Financial Balance: without this, balance nothing worthwhile in life. There is no such thing as personal freedom unless there is financial stability. Financial insecurity and monetary debt have a direct impact on mental and physical health. d) Social Balance: Blend well with society, neighbors & family. Give back more to the world than what you have taken. You have borrowed this world from your children. Also remember that you are not replaceable in your family. Don’t miss out on the joys and pleasures of your family and children. They will never come back. e) Spiritual Balance: We were born with a purpose far greater than eating and digesting food. We must attempt to understand the higher purpose of our birth. Who Am I? What Am I Here For? Pray to God everyday. Seven days without Prayer makes one weak. Without spiritual balance often become purposeless. It is tragic that our attention is more focused on our blackberry than on our puja/deity. If we disconnect from the Divine, life itself dries up.

3rd Pillar of Optimal Health “Rest” It is good to work in office for 8 hours and sleep for 8 hours, but not the same 8 hours. We know how to sleep but we do not know how to rest. The body repairs and rejuvenates itself better when the mind is rested and not only when we are asleep. A story will explain how “Chanchal” the mind is. A King is sick and no physician at the court can cure him. The king promises half his kingdom to any person who can cure his illness, but if that person tries and fails, he would be hanged. One day a young doctor comes to him and gives him a bottle of medicine saying “Take 3 spoonfuls of this medicine every night for 10 days just before you go to sleep and you will be cured. But there is one condition. The condition is that when you take the medicine you must not think of a dancing monkey. If you do so the medicine will not work.” And then the doctor demonstrated how the monkey danced. The king thought to himself “I have never in my life thought of any dancing monkey so that should be no problem at all” At night when the king picked up the bottle of medicine, what was the 1st thought that came to him? The dancing monkey. He tried his best to change the thought, but try as he would whenever he picked up the bottle of medicine, the monkey danced in his mind before him. The king knew he would be cured if he did not think of the dancing monkey but the mind would not allow him. We think we have good control, but this is generally the state of our mind. It is when this mind is at rest that the body heals itself. One way of putting this mind at rest which the king did

We are not in that same body in which we were a few years ago. Bit by bit every 4 months our entire blood is renewed, every 10 days our stomach lining is replaced, skin flakes off and is gradually renewed, bones too are repaired, maintained and renewed at the cellular level. All of this is due to the intake of nutrition. The building block of our body is Proteins. Fats and carbohydrates are used by the body to produce heat to keep the body warm at a steady temperature (98.4 F) and to produce energy. We need 13 vitamins and 11 minerals which enable the body to permute 10 lakh different protein combinations to manufacture, hair, nails, skin, bone, blood, hormones, enzymes, cells, muscles, cartilage etc. Let us compare this to the English alphabet which has 26 letters out of which 5 are vowels namely a, e, i, o and u. Using all these consonants and vowels, we can make thousands of words. Now suppose I do not provide you with the 5 vowels. Now how many words can you make? Hardly any. Similarly if out of the 13 vitamins and 11 minerals, because of improper intake or careless diet or bad food habits, I do not get 5 or 6 vitamins or minerals, thousands of essential body combinations which are essential for the body will not take place. Our dear body will bear it up for the day, may also bear it up for a week or month, but because of our ignorance of our body requirement, ultimately the body cannot put up with the deficit of essential nutrients indefinitely, it starts weakening or giving way at the cellular level, gradually affecting the organs and then the entire system. So disease (which literally means “not at ease” or dis….ease) is generally never sudden but is a consequence of long term neglect of the essential nutritional requirement of the body. The body is the only thing you have with you till the end of your life. It is your only constant companion. The value of what we have with us is more deeply understood not when we have it, but only when it has slipped away from us due to our callousness, negligence or non-appreciation. Same is with health. The human body can tolerate a lot of abuse. But when the body signals its requirement and says “Give me my minimum requirements, give me exercise, give me a proper mental outlook, give me rest and give me adequate nutrition. If you do not do so I will pull on till I break but then you will have to pay that price which you can ill afford. So better pay me now than pay enormously later.” This is my personal understanding of Optimal Health. May we all intensify our efforts to stay healthy not only for ourselves but also for the sake of our family and our happiness of our loved ones.

Reminisces

My First Training in the Bank

Shri N.C. Mazumdar, AGM (Rtd.) presenting a book Titled ‘Fundamental of Modern Banking’ updated version written by him to CMD Smt. V.R.Iyer at Head Office.

The maiden Training program of a newly recruited staff member, whether called induction program or otherwise, plays a vital role in skill development and shaping their future course of career in the Bank. Subsequent trainings are imperative to keep them abreast of the latest developments in the economic and commercial arena especially that pertains to Banking. Of all the training programmes, the most vital is the program meant for the new entrants- be it for the award staff or officers.

leejebieCe

fter joining the Bank in 1969, for the first time I was selected for a training programme for newcomers in April,1970 at the Bank of India & Bank of Baroda Joint Staff Training College (closed down later) at Walkeshwar, Bombay. Even today, I feel that was the best Training Programme, I have ever attended in the Bank. The college was situated at the foot of the Malabar Hill and down below it was the endless waves of the Arabian Sea. When I attended the college, Shri H.L. Bedi one of the co-authors of the then famous book on banking written by Bedi & Hardikar, was the Principal of the college. He was a retired executive from Punjab National Bank and later the position of the Principal was shared by the two sponsoring banks by turn. Rest of the Faculty Members were on deputation from two banks and each of them were having profound expertise in their respective disciplines. Those days it was known as orientation program and after completion of the training, the confidence level of the participants used to get a tremendous boost. The course content was very comprehensive so that the new recruits with different academic background could prepare themselves for a smooth take-off towards a roaring career in Banking. There was a system of periodic tests in different subjects and in the event of a poor performance by any body, the trainee would be called in the cabin of the Principal for counseling. Though the guest speakers with expertise on a particular area used to take classes, the visits of the executives were generally confined to interaction to know the difficulties of the participants and calling for their suggestions, if any. The course content included subjects the knowledge of which is imperative for making a complete banker and created a mind-set to acquire knowledge in the relative matters on an on-going basis. The syllabus included, a) Elementary Economics, b) Book Keeping, c) Economic Geography, d) Banker & Customer, e) Accepting Deposits in various forms, f)Advances, g) Bills & Remittances, h) Foreign Exchange, h) Staff Relation and Public Relation, i) Insurance, j) various legislations: RBI Act, Banking Regulation Act, Companies Act, Indian Registration Act, Indian Contract Act, The Limitation Act, Indian Stamp Act, etc. The course in Advances started from second week and ended in the last week with a mock session where a customer would approach the Manager for a loan and the Manager has to handle the situation and either sanction the loan or reject the request of the customer with cogent reasons. Needless to say that both the Branch Manager and the prospective customer were picked up from the participants in the training Programme. The mock session was held under the gaze of two faculty members and other participants. The classes for advances or credit were held on three days in a week and the program was synchronized in such a manner that the

petve 2013

sessions on Financial and Ratio analysis would begin only after the end of the brief syllabus on Book-keeping and preparation of Profit & Loss Account and Balance Sheet. The advances course covered agriculture and allied activities, Small Scale Industry and C & IC advances. Visits to agricultural fields, Dairies and SSI units were organized by the Training College. The syllabus of Foreign Exchange program was quite elaborate so that the participant gets acquainted with the Forex terminologies and various aspects of quotation of Forex rates of different currencies. For one week the trainees were sent to different branches on deputation for getting a feel of the practical operation. One session was dedicated for learning correspondence with customers and others and the aspects taught covered: Style, Fact, Brevity, Courtesy, Healthy curiosity, Clarity, Proper choice of words and their arrangement etc. Midway through the training programme, a cultural function, with an overtone of National Integration, was held where a contribution by each and every trainee was a must. A Picnic somewhere in the outskirts of proper city was organized by the college and it was packed with lot of fun and frolic. The Training program used to end with an elaborate session on “Banking as a Career”, intended for inculcating a sense of belonging and loyalty towards the Institution and a long term interest in Banking as a career. The participants were taken to the Central Office of Reserve Bank of India and the nearby Govt. of India Mint so that they get an idea of the functioning of the Banking Regulatory body in the country. Before the concluding session, the new recruits were invariably given some important hints that are required to be borne in mind throughout the career. These are: Secrecy to be observed, Accuracy in work, Punctuality, Importance of proper dress, Team-spirit etc. The training program used to be completed with a farewell party attended amongst others by the CMD or other top Executives of the Bank. The party at which this author was present was attended by Shri T.D. Kansara the then Chairman of Bank of India and the General Manager of Bank of Baroda. The training programme had a lasting impression in the minds of the young aspiring Banker and even today I cherish the memories of those golden days. Incidentally, while attending the training programme I had to appear for the CAIIB Part-I exam. and the training was of immense help for my clearing the exam in one shot. N.B: I still have the notes taken in the above Training Programme which inspired me to write the book ‘FUNDAMENTALS OF MODERN BANKING’ and the same is well accepted in the Banking Circle all over the country. This is also a recommended book for studies in Finance & Banking in different Management Institutes. – N.C. Majumdar

Power of

Dreams

ince the very first day that I finished my supplemental pleading of my thesis, I have been considering to write something, for I thought it was very necessary to record something after my four years of the so-called “university life” which means another beginning of a totally new life at the same time! However, I got stuck due to all kinds of interference and I hardly got my access to any emotions acting as my inspiration. Why? I guess the feelings just haven’t been stimulated enough yet to cause a real storm inside my mind. Well I feel the urge to immediately express that very “something” that has been hanging around every corner of my brain today because if I don’t put it down in time I will definitely miss it, whose happening can indeed make me feel sorry. Ok, let me see what on earth I have been thinking on these mornings in my bed lately. Yeah, a young popular Chinese cartoonist named Xia Da has inspired me a lot by letting me know there is still something named DREAMS in the world. I had no idea how this 28-year-old girl (looking much younger than her age of 28) with amazingly cute and long hair came into my eyes, for I just couldn’t tell! That feeling was fantastic! She not only looks good on the outside, but has also kept giving out a magic power from her deep inside every minute she talks, paints, and smiles… all those brought me an image of a fairy walking out of the cartoon series. Xa Da, she herself is a perfect cartoon character! Beneath her weak look of her appearance, she has such a strong heart that almost no one can take away easily… Up to now, both you and me may wonder what makes this girl so strong and her eyes glow with dazzling and immortal light? Well, a person with deep eyes must have his or her impressive life stories, and most of them must have gone through very much along his or her road of pursuit. Xa Da says, she has only one dream, which is never stopping painting her beloved cartoons and only paints whatever she wants. Her persistence is so unstoppable that even when the cartoon industry hasn’t formed its complete chains and market in China, which led to a very scrubby life for a newly graduated college student years ago. Yet, her persistence defines her final and current remarkable success by bringing her worldwide known title as the most promising cartoonist of China. What’s more, her works have received great popularity in the holy land of cartoons, Japan, where the cartoon readers

petve 2013

are extremely picky for they have already had the greatest reputation of cartoon creation all around the world. And, it is absolutely unusual for such a young girl to have the fame that can ever compare to the rest of those aged famous legendary cartoon masters… Why do I keep telling stories? What the hell is the point? That is because I get another shock by the power of DREAMS! Again, I make clear sense that this kind of power, the power of DREAMS was, is, and will always remain there to motivate a person to go on with his or her life even though there once were many heart-breaking moments in the way. That is what I am trying to put down, the power of pursuit, the magic of a person’s spirit, and the purity of a man’s DREAMS! All in all, I believe everyone needs this kind of power and should spare no efforts to trying to be close to it as long as we are mortal humans on the planet called earth, for nothing is more precious than holding firm to your dreams. My point is that once you grasp your DREAM, whatever it is, you will find the reason why you exist, who you are, and where you are going to… I don’t know whether I have got your acknowledgement towards my boring writing or not, but I feel comfortable to express it all out. Thank you for your time! 

Always Didn’t you ever hear God whisper to your ears? Well, I did. Mr. Christ told me words like these: The sun is to shine on thee, Flowers are to bloom beautifully, Birds are to sing wonderfully, Wings are to spread undoubtedly, The good are to be blessed dearly, As long as your heart beats, As long as you are patient enough to see, As long as you ask me in, As long as you let it be, As long as you dare to dream. So please do not be as busy as a bee, Life is more than just you and me. Do good, look good, feel good and most importantly, Never forget to move your feet. So that sooner or later, by Lucky Fairy you will be kissed.

g a e m t i o r g Shir l i P di

Exactly after one month after the unfortunate and sad demise of my father, Shri Narayan Dinanath Sarangdhar, I was struck with paralysis on 05-02-2012 and I was Kumar Narayan Sarangdhar hospitalized for eleven days. My wife, Mangala, and daughter, Shweta, got panicky, and Retail Hub Branch thought that my days on this planet had numbered. So, my wife fervently prayed to Sai Baba for my Mumbai South Zone speedy recovery and took a decision that if I was cured of this life threating ailment, she would pay visit to Shirdi. And lo and behold! her prayer was answered whereupon she planned a jaunt to this holy place.

e boarded an air-conditioned bus that left Mumbai at night, and reached Shirdi-situated on Ahmednagar Manmad highway-the next day at the crack of dawn. On the same day in the afternoon, we visited Sai Baba temple. Before entering the temple, our pockets and purses were thoroughly checked with metal detectors by the security personnel. The pilgrims are not allowed to carry with them video camera and mobile. On duty security guards were moving about with sten guns slung over their shoulders. Closed circuit televisions were installed at strategic places to keep tab on the movements of devotees. The balustrades of steel rods were erected so that the pilgrims could file through the aisles in orderly manner without causing stampede. Shuffling our way through the maze of corridors, halls, descending and ascending quite a few flights of stairs, at long last, we arrived at sanctum sanctorum which was jam packed with the devotees. The entire prayer hall echoed with the shouts of “Shri Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai’. The figures of God, Goddesses, flowers and leaves are exquisitely and intricately engraved on the silver paneling. The life size statue of Sai Baba in sitting posture is placed on a silver throne. Just few inches behind the spot where Baba took Samadhi on Tuesday,15-10-1918.A richly embroidered shawl was wrapped around the idol over which hung a richly gilded canopy. There was scramble among the devotees to place their heads on the feet of Sai Baba’s statue before making exit. Just outside the rear exit is a huge neem tree under which Sai Baba sat, received his disciples-irrespective of caste, creed or religion, showered blessings on them, and delivered sermons. In lying the precincts of the temple are Nanawali Samadhi, Haji Abdul Baba Samadhi, and temples dedicated to Shiva, Hanuman, Ganesh and Shani. Also, there is a museum showcasing the panoply of Baba’s paraphernalia comprising a cot on which He had bathed for the last time, a palanquin gifted to Baba which was never used by Him. There are encased idols of Ram, Laxman, Sita and Krishna bought by Gopal Rao Butti. Baba had appeared in Butti’s dream, and had urged him to construct a wada (palace). Nearby is Baba’s modest dwelling place ‘Dwarkamai’ housing Baba’s grinding stone, a jute bag of wheat which is replaced every year on the day of Ramnavmi. A fire lit by Baba still burns here. Baba used to give udi (ash) to his devotees to solve their problems, and He would cook food to be distributed among them. A stone slab having the imprint of Baba’s feet is carefully preserved in a glass case. Baba used to proceed in procession from Dwarkamai to Chawadi-an old apartment consisting of two airy rooms-on every alternate day. Even today, Baba’s paduka and staff are brought in a palanquin from from Dwarkamai to Chawadi every Thursday. Once I saw on a big screen,just outside Chawadi, Shatrughan Sinha singing ‘Sainath Tere Hazaro Hath’.The soulful song touched the right chord.

A little distance away from Sai Baba temple is Khandoba temple supposed to be the oldest temple in Shirdi dating back to the seventeenth century. Lord Khandoba –presiding deity of Jejuri near Pune-was reincarnation of Lord Shiva, and was created by Bramha to kill a demon. Sai Baba graced this temple with his august prescence, and, thus, lent aura of holiness and piety to it. I saw a framed photograph of film star Manoj Kumar; his hands resting on the shoulders of caretaker’s grand children. He is an ardent devotee of Sai Baba and visits Shirdi very often. It is still not known where Sai Baba was born, and where He came from before taking up residence at Shirdi for good. Next day, we hired a maruti van and set out to see Shani temple at Shignapur some 75 kms away from Shirdi. As the driver switched on the tape recorder, the strains of the devotional songs lulled me to sleep. But, I kept my eyes wide open to take in the arboreous sierras, lush-green fields, shimmering lakes and granges that fleeted by in quick succession. At Shignapur, the incidence of pilferage is non est. Its inhabitants invariably leave their houses unguarded. It is believed that those who commit theft are severely punished by God Shani. Before entering the Shani temple, I was instructed to divest myself of the clothes I wore above my waist. I was made to wear an orange lungi, and took bath under a running tap. I, then, walked barefoot, stripped to the waist, up to the temple holding a thali containing all unique the ingredients required for performing pooja which is an elaborate affair. The distinctiveness of this temple is no structure houses the swayambhu (self-formed) idol of black stone standing on a simple platform. On our way back we took halt at Sonai village, and saw the temple of Renukadevi. The entrance to the temple is flanked by the statues of elephants with their trunks raised heavenwards. The walls of the temple are inlaid with glass pieces of various hues deftly and exquisitely arranged in geometric and floral patterns. Every year on Kartiksuddha Asthami the rays of the sun directly fall on the swayambhu (selfformed) idol of Renukadevi at the basement of the temple. From there we were driven to a quaint little village, Sakuri, where we espied a lovely cottage that proudly stood out amidst tall shady trees. It was here Upasni maharaj, disciple of Sai Baba, and his pupil, Kanyakumari, lived and took Samadhi. When I returned to Mumbai, I felt that though I physically existed in the congested polluted city that goes by the name of Mumbai, my body was bereft of soul. Gandhiji had aptly remarked that India lives in villages. But I would go a step farther, and say that not only my soul lives in a homestead of a picturesque village, but, also occasionally roams through the lush greenwoods and verdant dales-of course, romancing with lissome lasses-in search of hitherto unknown beautiful places hidden in the folds of nature, eternal peace and bliss. 

Protection from S

uspicious transactions can take place in two ways.

V. N. Kulkarni, Chief Counsellor, Abhay Credit Counseling Centre

a) Card present transactions like withdrawal from ATM or Cards swiped in store, restaurants etc. b) Card not present transactions like purchases through internet & mail order/telephone order (MOTO). Let us now take a look as to how the fraudster commit cyber crime. The fraudsters use different methods to get details of the card say ATM card / Debit card /Credit card.

Of late many people are the victims of cyberattacks and have lost good amount of money. One has to be vigilant to protect themselves from such attacks. A few points stated below may help you in taking some basic precautions 56

leejebieCe

financial institutions like banks. These emails usually state that the user needs to urgently update or validate his account information after clicking on a link in the email. The link, however, leads the victim to a fraudulent website that looks very much like the bank’s original portal

petve 2013

i) Card skimming It involves the fraudulent copying of information from the magnetic strip of a credit or ATM card. One of the ways that credit/ debit cards can be compromised at ATMs or points-of-sale machines is by using a skimming device. In this scam, a pocket-sized scanner is usually attached over the card reader. After that, when a customer swipes a credit or debit card, the skimming device secretly records the card’s information. Alternatively, a fake POS machine is employed. This machine does not debit any cash from the account; instead it just gives you a fake bill, while also copying the data from the card's magnetic strip. The crooks later retrieve the device and use the information to create cloned cards, or to make online transactions ii) PHISHING

Hack attacks start with ‘phishing’, a term used to describe an online scam where fraudsters steal a victim’s personal information by sending out emails that appear to have originated from legitimate

iii) POS MALWARE Anti-virus companies recently have discovered a malware called Dexter, this malware targets Point of Sale systems at big-name retailers, hotels, restaurants etc. iv) PHARMING

Fraudsters are adopting a unique method of sending a fraudulent site by using a computer virus, which could possibly have originated from a phishing email

v) SOCIAL ENGINEERING

Social engineering involves a scam where the perpetrators interact with a victim in the guise of bank executives, insurance salesmen or utilities engineers. This interaction could take place over the phone or in person, where these skilled crooks ask for critical data after gaining the victim’s confidence. These ‘executives’ usually promise the victim some sort of reward or financial benefit in exchange of the information.

The moot question now is how one can protect from all these attacks and by chance one is a victim, then how to deal with it.

1) The first step one should take is that periodically keep track of your account by going through the statement of account and if any suspicious or transaction which is not pertaining to him / her is detected bring it to the notice of the bank in

writing so that immediate action can be taken. If there is delay it may be difficult go through the records for the banker as well. 2) Inform your mobile number to be linked with the accounts which you are operating so that you keep on getting mobile alerts whenever a transaction is done in your account may be a withdrawal from ATM and or a card swipe in a store. This keeps you on alert If you find that transaction is not yours, then contact your bank immediately so that they can nab the culprit and further damage can be avoided. If it happens to be a transaction of card immediately block the card by calling the Help line number.

3) Avoid filling forms in E mail messages that ask for personal financial information 4) Make sure that the website you are using is a secure website. To do this you should check that the beginning of URL in your browser address is ‘https://’ rather than just ‘http://’ 5) Purchase virus protection software and update it regularly. Use a programme to run scanning your computer from viruses 6) Ensure that you do not disclose your card verification number (CVV/CVC/ CID) which is printed on the back of your card. Better way is to note it down in a confidential way and smudge it so that it will not be known when you use your card in a restaurant etc. 7) As far as possible use your card / shop at recognized outlets rather than at unknown road side outlets / restaurants. At such outlets small bill can always be paid by cash. 8) If you happen to use the card at a restaurant keep an eye on the waiter to see that he does not appear nervous or anxious or in a hurry. This should put you on alert for future transactions which can be from a cloned card. 9) On line transactions need a online password. Do not reveal it to anyone.

Yeesheeue DebÛeue –—––————————————————————– I am very much moved on reading the March 2013 issue especially dedicated to women “SALUTE TO WOMEN POWER”. Really, it is one of the richest issues. Our CMD’s message is really a motivating factor for all the staff members particularly working women in our Bank. In a developing country like ours, transformation of the tradition ridden Indian society is only possible for the equal participation of women folk. I here would like to quote a saying of Napoleon who said, “Give me good mothers and I will give you a good nation. I congratulate the entire editorial team for a stupendous job in bringing out a presentable issue. Vinod Dixit, Manager, NBG (Central)

The issue was a treat to the readers like me. I do believe that A WOMAN’S liberation lies within herself. One has to assert oneself while not expecting any undue privileges because you are woman. I am sure with the women power really gaining in the bank literally and figuratively. (I wish, I was in service now when we have a woman CMD) and with the new and younger generation of men coming in, things will be more smooth for the women who have now joined the bank. I wish them all the very best .Once again, all compliments to you for bringing forth a special issue! Vimla Menon, Ex-Staff
