Last year there was so muchdiscussion on nonaccessability of banking services and the pain it was causing us. . Therefore we had to go for a general circular from the RBI and the operational guidelines from IBA.
we have now gone into the finer points of the various services and facilities provided by Banks. We can of course take one issue at a time. we have had to work with the authorities to get a circular that 1/3rd of the ATMs would be talking. Also SBI has committed to have many machines of the new lot which will talk. After this we have been holding discussions with the ATM manufacturers on what features we want and what we mean by talking ATMs. this is no small achievement and has taken several hours and I can realistically say several days, weeks and months. Now 2 ATMs are standing at St Xaviers College for each and every one of you to try, check out, comment and be a part of a historical process before they are used in the country. I am told by the St. Xaviers team that they have posted the invitation on this list but I have been travelling and have had no time to check my old mails. Therefore I am going to ask each and every one of you from Mumbai and around and those who are going to be in the city in the next few days to go to St Xaviers College-XRCVC and do your bit for yourself and for others in the country who you represent. it is your suggestions that will make the difference between accessible, non accessible and semi accessible. Kanchan Please call Prashant, sam or anyone at XRCVC before you go so that you get a proper demo. 022 22623298.
