Banks should use biometric device, UID database to verify account holders identity


Banks are chasing account holders to give fresh proof to update their know-your-customer (KYC) databases. This is inconvenient for customers whose antecedents have been verified before a bank allows them to open an account and also operationally inefficient. 
True, banks are only complying with the RBI's diktat to periodically update customer identification data: once in five years for low-risk category customers and not less than once in two years for high- and medium-risk category customers.
 
Ordinary citizens are hamstrung. There is no reason why a salaried employee whose tax is deducted at source should provide her identity proof afresh. The bank accepts a passport as proof of address, but does it know that the passport office itself does not treat an existing passport as address proof when the passport is up for renewal?
 
The unique identification number, Aadhaar, serves as a proof of identity, making it sufficient KYC. Repeated compliance would become redundant once every citizen has an Aadhaar. Banks should have the machines capable of reading biometric data and querying the UID database to verify the identity of the account holder.
 
KYC rules are meant to ensure that banks are not used as a channel to route funds that are not kosher, though they become irrelevant when money is laundered with the connivance of the banker.
 
The way to guard against money laundering is intelligent analysis, preferably real-time, of bank transactions to identify patterns. Modern IT allows tracking of the location of ATMs used and computers/phones used to log into bank accounts.
 
Mobile phones are easy to locate. Let banks use the capabilities of their own electronic infrastructure and of IT companies that can do with a little more of domestic business, to spare customers validation hassles.

Bihar at fifth position in terms of inward remittance

PATNA: Bihar figures at fifth position in the country in terms of receiving foreign remittances, with a total of over Rs 200 crore sent through post offices in the last fiscal. Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Uttar Pradesh are ahead of Bihar in terms ofremittance sent by Indians to their home through Western Union money transfer with assistance from post offices, Anil Kumar, Director, Business Development, Bihar postal services told PTI.

Like other states, remittances to Bihar also came mostly from gulf countries, he said.  Within Bihar, major share of remittance was sent to post offices of Siwan, Bhojpur, Muzzafarpur, Gopalganj and Patna, the Director said.

Due to large sums of money coming from abroad, these districts are popularly referred as "money order districts."  Kumar said in Bihar, more than one lakh people sent remittance though western union money transfer.

Out of 9,614 post offices in the state, 225 of them have the facility of money transfer.  Across the country there are 1.55 lakh post offices out of which 1.20 lakh have money transfer facility.

The official said the department has started 
mobile money transfer (MMT) in rural areas of the state for making transfer of money even more easier.

This service was launched in 118 post offices in rural areas of Bihar, he added.
