ATMs will be operational  on 01/04/2017). Salary & Pension uploads should be done after completion of EOD for 1st April 2017. 

2.CBS Post Offices should ensure that no unverified account or modification in  accounts of SB/PPF/SSA/NSS-87/NSS-92 remains unverified as interest is not calculated for any account if any modification is unverified, as on 31/03/2017. Concerned staff should be alerted so that such lapses may be avoided.

3.   All CBS Post Offices, on 31.3.2017, should do transactions latest up to  1700 hours and verify all the transactions simultaneously so that there may be no Blocking Transactions at 1700 hours.

5. CEPT FSI Team will be disabling certain menus according to the requirements during EOY Batch execution to control resource utilisation; CPCs will be kept informed from time-to-time on this and should coordinate with their SOLs on this exercise.

5. Reports regarding Interest credited in SB/SSA/PPF/NSS-87 and NSS-92 accounts of a CBS post office, Silent Account maintenance Fee charged and Total number of accounts marked as silent (total amount and accounts  for a Post Office and not account-wise) will be intimated through CPCs by the end of first week of April 2017.
