Validity of Self Attested Documents

It is a constant endeavour of the Government to simplify procedures by introduction of self certification. For this, all Central Ministries / Departments as well as State Government / UTs have been requested to review the existing requirement in this regard and make provision for self certification, wherever possible. Response from 25 States / UTs has been received indicating action taken by them.

Different organizations prescribe different criteria for attestation, subject to statutory and legal provisions. As per its mandate, Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances has been requesting them to adopt self-certification, wherever possible, as a measure of administrative reform.

This was stated by the Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in Prime Minister’s office Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a question by Shri Narendra Kumar Kashyap in the Rajya Sabha today. 

India Post targets 50-fold growth in e-commerce revenue

For India Post, a 240-year-old straggler long fighting for relevance in a  digital economy, the explosive growth in this new-age business has offered it a  fresh lease of life and given it the luxury of dreaming big.

 These dreams have been bolstered by firms such as Flipkart and Amazon signing up for its services and with the theatre of  activity for the fastgrowing ecommerce sector now moving to the country's remote  corners.

The Department  of Posts is targeting a seemingly implausible 50-fold increase in ecommerce  revenues. "With decline in document shipments, ecommerce is our department's new  focus," a top official at the Department of Posts, told ET. "We are targeting Rs .5,000 crore in revenue from this segment alone in the next 24 months." It won't be an easy  task given that in the previous fiscal year to end-March 2014, it earned Rs  10,750 crore in overall turnover.

This year, it is on course to earn Rs  100 crore as delivery revenues from ecommerce firms, giving the department's  claims a dark ring of incredulity as it is looking at a 50-fold jump in just two  years. But officials point out that India Post had managed to expand ecommerce delivery revenues from Rs 20 crore toRs 100 crore in just a year, and given the explosive growth  the sector is seeing, an exponential increase in revenues is not impossible. The  department started cash on delivery pilots with Amazon in 2013. But the service  picked up steam only in 2014, when it signed up players such as Flipkart,  Snapdeal and Shopclues.

Karnataka and Haryana currently account for most  ecommerce shipments followed by Delhi, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. India's  onlineretail industry is expected to soar to $23 billion (Rs 1.4 lakh crore) by 2018  from about $2 billion in 2013. The overall ecommerce sector, including online  travel bookings, is projected at $43 billion by 2018, according to Nomura. To be sure, India Post will not have  it easy, competing as it will be with several large logistics firms such as FedEx, DTDC, Blue DartBSE 1.35 % and DHL  as well as a rash of startups such as Ecom Express and Delhivery that have  jumped on to the bandwagon.

LEVERAGING ITS VAST NETWORK

 India Post, founded as an  arm of the East India Company, was a vital strategic institution for decades but  its relevance declined dramatically as the rise of the Internet and use of  emails for communication made its postcards and inland letters increasingly  redundant.

But despite its mainstay business staring at oblivion, the  department continued to have several advantages over its competitors, most  notably its vast network of 1.5 lakh offices and an army of about 5.5 lakh employees across the  country.

India Post has begun leveraging that strength now. It has begun  training its postmen in ecommerce-specific requirements, such as accepting cash  or card payments on delivery - crucial for online retailers in India - and  handling same-day shipments. It also plans to open about 60 so called fulfilment  centres, where goods are stored and sorted before deliveries, across the country  this year for its ecommerce business.

For instance in Bengaluru, India Post will invest Rs  1 crore to decentralise packaging and ecommerce parcel services by establishing  warehouses across the city, according to MS Ramanujan, Chief Post Master  General, Karnataka Circle. To compete with DHL, India Post plans to buy land  near the airport to establish a warehousecum-parcel centre, he said.

In Bengaluru and Gurgaon, India Post is already handling about 13,000 and 20,000  shipments, respectively, every day. "We are currently stretched to our limits.  Opening ecommerce specific warehouses will lessen the load on post offices,"  said the official of the Department of Post, quoted  earlier.

LESSONS FROM THE WEST

India Post can  take heart from the experience of other countries where explosive growth of
ecommerce has changed fortunes of their state-run postal departments.

In the West, government postal services  have gained the most from the ecommerce sector.

"The US Post is expected  to earn half of its revenues from ecommerce package deliveries by 2020. Deutsche  Post in Germany and Australia Post have also done well," said Arvind Singhal,  head of retail advisory firm Technopak.


Its customers, many of whom are now looking to spread their wings in the  hinterland to tap the market potential in India's small towns and villages, have good things to say.

"Given the vastness  of our country, India Post plays a key role in offering a seamless experience  for our customers who are located in the most remote parts of India," said  Neeraj Aggarwal, senior director, supply chain, at Flipkart, which has been  working with India Post since last year in addition to its own logistics firm  Ekart.

India's ecommerce logistics market is expected to gross over Rs  7,200 crore ($1.2 billion) this year.

According to consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, ecommerce firms will  need about 15 million sq ft of warehouse space by 2017, up from about 1.7  million sq ft available now. "Getting manpower for last-mile delivery and high  expectations of same-day delivery due to technology integration are major  challenges for us," said an official at a large ecommerce logistics player,  declining to be identified. Shrinking air cargo space and rising costs have also put pressure on private companies to increase shipment rates. "I don't see  shipment costs going down in 2015," said Mohit Tandon, cofounder at  Gurgaon-based logistics startup Delhivery. India Post claims an advantage here,  too.
