Trust based procedures for minimizing
Transaction Costs- Secretary, DIT
Government recognizes the need to keep the transaction costs to the minimum and has taken several initiatives in this regard, said Mr V. Sridhar, Chairman, CBEC, in his inaugural address at CII Workshop on Impact of Transaction Cost in ICTE Manufacturing. He further added that certain degree of controls are necessary, however, government has an open mind and welcomes suggestions aimed at simplifications of the procedures.
Mr R. Chandrashekhar, Secretary, Department of Information Technology in his special address highlighted the importance of development of a competitive ICTE manufacturing sector. Efforts should be build the industry around our strengths in R&D, design, prototyping, assembly and testing. We must move over from archaic rules based on mistrust to trust based regime. It is no longer a question of government versus industry but government and industry working together in national interest. In the zero duty environment the impact of transaction costs is a make or break issue.
Mr Deepak Puri, Chairman, CII National Committee on ICTE Manufacturing and CMD, brought the large manufacturing opportunity in this sector and the need for joint government-industry initiatives for realizing CII’s Mission 5×5.Inability to harness the opportunity would lead to a situation in which the ICTE import bill is more than the oil import bill. Transaction costs while having
no impact on the revenue ,add to the manufacturing costs resulting in erosion of competitiveness in the domestic and export market.
Mr Vinod Sharma, Chairman of Task Force on Transaction Costs in the ICTE Sector and MD, Deki Electronics brought out that traditionally transaction costs, world over, are the costs on account of mistrust. It is a myth that post liberalization the transaction cost have drastically come down. The rules and procedures should enable fast movement of goods with predictability, from the ports to the factory and to the customers. ICTE is the first sector to face elimination of import duty on account of WTO-ITA-I and FTAs.In zero duty regime the transaction costs get magnified and it is important to complete the manufacturing cycle without adding any costs which do not contribute to the value of the goods.
The session on presentation of case studies was chaired by Mr Vivek Johri, Joint Secretary, TRU. In the session case studies were presented highlighting issues in transaction cost in SEZ,DTA,EOU/EHTP streams and possible simplifications were suggested.
Mr Ambrish Bakaya, Director, Corporate Affairs, Nokia India Ltd highlighted the overseas investors concern in having a comparable ecosystem to that available in other competing countries and the importance of just in time receivables and time to market for the end products. He assured that the manufacturing industries cooperation in this regard.

State Bank of India, 3i Infotech launch India’s online financial inclusion model for rural India
Mumbai – August 28, 2009 – 3i Infotech Foundation (3i Infotech) has joined hands with the largest bank in the country, State Bank of India to provide revolutionary Kiosk Banking facilities to the rural citizens of India. 3i Infotech Foundation is a National Business Correspondent for State Bank of India, and shall leverage the I-SERV stores of 3i Infotech across rural India to provide banking services to the hitherto unbanked population of the country. These services include opening of Accounts (No frills, Savings, Current, etc) as well as Cash transactions, apart from facilitating such services like various types of Loans (Crop, Home, Automobiles, Business loans, etc.), and deposits (Fixed and Recurring Deposits).
The tie-up, which will provide SBI access to over 6,000 villages in Tamil Nadu alone through more than 2,000 I-SERV stores of 3i Infotech (apart from various other states where it will be gradually rolled out) over a course of time, will go a long way in achieving the goal of financial inclusion in the country, especially in rural India. This model, whereby, the I-SERV stores of 3i Infotech become a virtual bank for rural citizens, holds promise of taking banking to the remotest corners of the country.
The State Bank of India has been at the fore-front of the technological developments in this area and has been able to successfully develop a simple and easy-to-use internet based banking transaction model. This model will involve the use of biometric devices which will enable verification and authentication of the identity of customers through recognition of their fingerprints. It will therefore enable a rural customer to carry out the aforementioned banking transactions at the remotely located Kiosk, instead of having to travel several miles to the nearest bank branch.
Mr. J Chandrasekaran, Chief General Manager, State Bank of India, Chennai Circle said, “SBI has pioneered the use of technology to build an online financial inclusion model, thus simplifying the processes and cost required to reach out to the remotest corners. SBI is happy to partner with 3i Infotech Foundation to offer the banking services through their I-SERV stores into remote rural India”.
“3i Infotech is committed to utilizing technology to add value to rural lives. The I-SERV initiative of 3i Infotech brings together a plethora of services across spaces like education, agriculture, banking, travel, and insurance to the rural citizens – all aimed at enriching rural lives. With its emphasis on introducing such services, for rural customers in particular, I-SERV is proud to bring the SBI Kiosk Banking Initiative to Tamil Nadu. We are sure that this initiative will scale-up rapidly and bring real value to a large section of citizens in Rural Tamil Nadu”, said Mr. Anirudh Prabhakaran, Executive Director & President, South Asia, 3i Infotech.

Logica’s messaging hub, FASTWIRE Open, benchmarks at record five million messages per day
Benchmark enables banks to reduce costs and manage business expansion
August 28, 2009: Logica ,a leading IT and business services company, today announced the results of a high-performance benchmark test carried out on FASTWIRE Open, Logica’s messaging hub, powered by IBM processors. The hub can now process over five million SWIFT Fin messages per day. The test was carried out in conjunction with a tier one banking client, which is one of world’s largest users of SWIFT – demonstrating the hub’s ability to support global banks.
FASTWIRE Open can scale to support the future growth of user banks, enabling them to not only reduce operational and network costs but also to take advantage of high throughput and adaptability to meet their demanding and growing requirements.
“Banks need to gain greater efficiencies if they are to preserve profit margins, given escalating payments volumes and sustained revenue pressure,” said Andy Schmidt, research director at TowerGroup. “Centralised messaging hubs that are scalable and integrated give banks the flexibility and control that their payments businesses require. This allows banks to achieve savings through reduced messaging costs – savings that can be passed on to clients.”
Tim Brew, director of global financial products at Logica, commented: “Payments volumes are increasing exponentially as global banks continue to grow, either organically or through M&A activity. Our high performing financial messaging hub enables banks to reduce costs by consolidating their multiple systems onto regional or global hubs. The client that participated in this test has proven that its future FASTWIRE Open-based messaging platform will support significant growth in its messaging traffic. The solution can clearly support our clients’ business expansion, but it also enables banks to reduce the overall cost per message and handle the ever increasing occurrence of unexpected volume peaks in messages.”
The benchmark test was undertaken by Logica at IBM’s performance testing facility in Montpellier, France, during June 2009. FASTWIRE Open, Logica’s messaging hub, achieved a throughput of up to 200 messages per second, while actively using only 16 processors, exceeding the target of 150 messages per second.
For the test, the system processed SWIFT format messages while concurrently managing day-to-day activities such as archiving and database replication. The platform used an Oracle 10g database, operating with Oracle RAC and Dataguard, and was based on IBM 64-Core Power6 5GHz Based Power 595.
