SBI to slash interest rate on education loans


The country's largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) today reduced interest rates on education loans by up to 1 percentage point across various segments, a move likely to be followed by other lenders.
Education loans up to 4 lakh have become cheaper by 0.25 percentage point to 13.50 per cent against 13.75 per cent.

However, loans between Rs 4 lakh and 7.5 lakh will be available at 13.25 per cent against 14.25 per cent, a sharp reduction of 1 percentage point.

Loans beyond Rs 7.5 lakh will cost 0.25 percentage point less at 12 per cent.

Under this education loan scheme, loans up to Rs 10 lakh for studies in India and up to Rs 20 lakh for studies abroad are given
At present, interest rates on education loans range from 12.25 per cent to 14.50 per cent, depending on their quantum and the duration. SBI is also offering a concession of 0.5 per cent on interest rates for loans given to female students.
Interest rate on loans given to students undergoing courses at premium institutes such as IITs, IIMs have also been cut by 25 basis points to 2 basis points over the Base Rate

Guide Line for Newly introduced Mail net work system


New operational arrangements,
The existing mail offices have been classified into Level 1 (L-1) and Level 2 (L-2) mail offices. There would be 89  L-1 and 244 L-2 mail offices under the new set up
 All L-1 mail offices will close direct bags for each other. An  L-1 office will also close bags for all L-2 offices as well as delivery post offices mapped/attached to it
 All L-2 offices attached/mapped to it an L-1 office can close bags for that particular office. An L-2 office may also close bags for all other L-2 offices mapped to the same L-1 office if the need be. It will also close bags for all delivery post offices mapped to it.
 An L-2 mail office would not close bags for any other L-1 office to which it is not mapped. Similarly an L-2 office will not close bags for any other L-2 office which is not mapped to the same L-1 office. However, there may be a situation where an L-2 office may require closing bags for an L-1 or L-2 office falling in the same circle or neighboring circle for transmission advantage. Circles should try to keep this number to the bare minimum to the extent possible. In all such exceptional cases, the circle concerned should furnish the list of such offices and destinations for which bag closing is required and seek approval of the Directorate.
Post Offices would prepare two kinds of bags (separate for unregistered and registered mail) for their parent mail office (L-1 or L-2 as the case may be), which would be as follows.
 A bag containing TD mail to be delivered by post offices mapped to the same parent mail office  (for unregistered mail)
  A bag containing non-TD (NTD) i.e. all mail other than TD , to be delivered by post offices not mapped to the same parent mail office (for unregistered mail)
 A bag containing TD mail to be delivered by the post offices mapped to the same parent mail office ( for registered mail).
A bag containing non-TD (NTD) mail, i.e. all mail other than TD, to be delivered by post offices no mapped to the same parent mail office ( for registered mail)
Post Offices would continue to retain station article i.e. articles to be delivered from the same post office in case of both unregistered and registered articles
The new operational network would come into effect from 15th February, 2012.
