STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

Section 45 of the Indian Post Office Act, 1898, limits the powers of the Central Government to issue Indian Postal Orders up to Rs. 10. This limit, which has been in existence since the Introduc- tion of the Postal Order Scheme in 1935, being very low, a member of the public who intends to send a remittance above Rs. 10, has to make the remittance either by money order or by purchasing more than one postal order of various denominations. It would, therefore, be convenient both to the public and also to the department if Postal Orders are issued in higher denominations. Accordingly, it is pro- posed to amend section 45 of the Act to enable the Central Govern- ment to issue Postal Orders up to the value of Rs. 50.

2. The Bill is designed to give effect to the above proposal.

NEW DELHI; RAM SUBHAG SINGH.

The 3rd December, 1968.

PRESIDENT'S RECOMMENDATION UND THE CONSTITUTION OF ]

[Copy of letter No. 15|10]66-CI, dated the 3rd December, 1968 from Shri Ram Subhag Singh, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Communications to the Secretary, Lok Sabha.]

The President having been informed of the subject matter of the Bill further to amend the Indian Post Office Act, 1898, recommends the consideration of the Bill in the Lok Sabha under article 117(3) of the Constitution of India.

FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM

Clause 2 of the Bill empowers the Central Government to issue Postal Orders up to the value of Rs. 50. It is proposed to issue now Postal Orders of the denominations of Rs. 20, Rs. 30, Rs. 40 and Rs. 50. At present, it is difficult to estimate the demand for the Postal Orders proposed to be issued. But if 10,000 copies each of the new denominations are printed initially, the cost of printing would come to about Rs. 840. This expenditure is, however, likely to be recouped by means of the corresponding saving which will be made by the reduction in the issue of Postal Orders of lower deno- minations. It is estimated that the printing of 10,000 copies each of the new denominations would entail a reduction in the printing of 1,40,000 Postal Orders of the denomination of Rs. 10, which would mean a saving of Rs. 2,940 in the printing cost. In the circumstances, the Bill is not likely to invlove any recurring expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India.
