(MPKBY
AGENTS)
Core Banking Solution (CBS) is a network of post offices, which enables
customers to operate their accounts and avail account related services from any
post office. It replaces the existing sanchay post. The difference between
sanchay and CBS is very simple. Sanchay Post is a LAN (Local Area Network)
based application
. CBS on the other
hand is a centralized application
with internet base.
MPKBY agents canvas customers and procure RD business. At present agents
are preparing bulk lists either manually or through RD Customer package
provided by DOP.
As Finacle CBS is implemented in
DOP, MPKBY/PRSS agents need to prepare bulk list through Web Portal https://dopagent.indiapost.gov.in by using the user name and password.
Every MPKBY/PRSS agent will be provided with user name and password.
Once the agent logons to web
portal, all the accounts linked to the particular agent will be displayed.
Agents can select multiple accounts by clicking the check box. Search option is
also available for selecting the account number with fetch option. Once the
accounts are selected, system navigates to the next screen. After completion of
the selection, the agent has to select SAVE. The saved accounts will be
appeared on the screen.
In Cash Mode, if there is no
rebate payment or partial default payment, the agent can click on “Pay all
saved installments”.
If there are default installments,
Default fee, if any, will be displayed against the particular account. Suppose
if there are three months default, default fee for the 1st defaulted month
alone will be displayed.
After selecting the accounts, we
have to mention the no of total installments (to know default fee or rebate,
click the option ‘get rebate & default fee’) and SAVE the same. After
clicking on ‘pay all saved installments’, a reference number like C123 will be
generated.
Agents can take required number
of print outs from the “Reports” menu by entering the “Reference Number”. The
file can be downloaded either as “PDF” or “XLS”also.
While adjusting to any changed new
scenario, generally we feel nervous. It is quiet natural. At the same time we
have to understand that change is inevitable. Our ancestors already proved that
Wonders and impossible things are possible because of only two things. They are
interest and changing of mindset.

of accounts in the schedule?

is no maximum limit for the cheque accounts ie deposits made, through cheques,
issued by the customers.

the upgrading of the schedule?
He
can confirm the upgrading by checking the ledger entries of the account in the

The commission, eligible, will
automatically be credited in the SB account of the agent. Hence the Commission
should not be deducted from the total amount of the schedules.

the commission for the first month?
No. The commission, for the new accounts
also, will automatically be credited into the agent’s SB account.
