We are proud to have our fifth issue of Jaycee Herald. We are

really happy to unearth the hidden talents of our jaycee

we can make this small bulletin a worthwhile read.

Through the month….

March is usually a less active month for our activities with

patient who had a fall last year and was depended on

physiotherapy on a daily basis for her survival. The ever helpful

Jojo informed the chapter about the situation and in turn our

members contributed generously so that we could share to

some extent, the burden of that family. I would like to thank

Jojo for this wonderful gesture.

VV, Jc CA. Shajan TT, Jc Sudhir Achuthan and Jc Ajaykumar.

We are proud that the first shots of the film were taken during

our meeting.

Let me conclude with a nice story.

A group of frogs was travelling through the woods, and two of them fell

into a deep pit.

All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead.

Page 7: Jaycee Herald 201503

The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit with all of their might.

The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead.

Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying

and gave up. He fell down and died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die.

He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the

other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?"

The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

Lessons to be learnt:

1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word

to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.

2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to

kill him or her.

Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words.... it is sometimes hard to understand that an

encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times.

Special is the in0dividual who will take the time to encourage another.

Wish you all a Very Happy Easter and Vishu and Dear kids celebrate your vacation…

Thanking you,

Yours truly

Jc HGF CA Manoj Kumar.M

Book Review -JCI Sen. Ranjith Kollannur

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

Publisher – Penguin; Year of Publication – 2001 / 2007; Pages – 280

Artemis Fowl the Second is an unfortunate twelve year old. He lost his father in a

shipping accident (Murdered, many say) and his mother went crazy after that. Like

any hopeful boy in such a desperate situation, he hopes his father is still out there

somewhere alive and well waiting to return when the time is right. He also wishes

his mother will wake up one day perfectly sane, pack him his lunch and send him

off to school like she used to.

Of course, going to school would pose a huge problem for him because he has

“better” things to do like running his family’s centuries old crime syndicate.

He now intends to capture and kidnap a leprechaun and steal his pot of gold. If you

have not heard of leprechauns yet, they are magical creatures that keep a pot of

gold hidden at the end of a rainbow. But unbeknownst to him leprechauns are the

police officers of the magical realm and not very nice people to deal with. They

don’t give up their treasure without a fight even if it means killing the child master-

thief. So Artemis the Second has to put to use all his wits and skill if he is to

outmaneuver his foes from their riches.

Eoin Colfer weaves a children’s fantasy out of the criminal life of Artemis Fowl

spinning it together with fairies, pixies, leprechauns, dwarves and other magical

Page 9: Jaycee Herald 201503

creatures. The book for today’s review is the first of an ongoing series currently at

its seventh book. It is an easy read equally funny and amusing for both kids and

adults. Fowl exhibits a certain flair for self assurance and over-confidence in his

methods that one wonders whether that may prove to be his undoing. The author

develops his magical world as the page turns, so it keeps the reader guessing as to

what happens next. While the book is a complete story, it can appeal to the

curiosity of the inquisitive reader and create a yearning to read the sequels.

While you can question the logic of having a criminal portray the role of a hero in a

children’s book, it can be easily countered by the unambiguous morality of the

protagonist. He is merely carrying on his family trade all the while showing

tremendous loyalty to his family and friends. Only you will need to read the entire

book to realize that. After all, every little kid has a little bit of mischief in them and

it is better to accept it than let it mature into something far worse.

While the book was originally published as a novel, it has been adapted into graphic

novel format by Colfer, Andrew Donkin, Giovanni Riagano and Paolo Lamanna.

Both books are available with the library.

A PRAYER FOR POSTERITY -Jc Rani Jojo.

Juggling with numerous topics, I finally settled on one which I felt relevant in

today’s times.

In today’s busy world people hardly seem to find time to spend with God. In fact,

the whole world is in a frenzy to attain their material pursuits, that they sometimes

forget even to whisper a little thank you to the creator above. We tend to squeeze

in time for every other activity, be it work or recreation, however, time with God

always seems last on the list. The insignificance many of us show may adversely

affect the budding generation. Lack of prayer can create a vacuum in their lives,

in fact many grow up to be misfits in society. Today’s youngsters are often held up

in the fast moving and raving culture, that has found its way into our midst. In

their hectic day combating classes, tuitions and parties, prayer is often forgotten.

Some even become skeptic, doubting the existence of God.

The media is a main culprit, as it often presents a distorted outlook on life,

religion and morality. Family values have eroded, and parents have started losing

their grip over children. In the past, children were brought up with values of

discipline and respect. However today, many parents find it difficult even to

intervene in the matters of children, or to correct them. They are given unlimited

freedom, and as a consequence, one can notice a contemptuous and defiant nature

being deep-rooted in them.Peer pressures, and demands of an incessantly

transforming world, are another factor that has led many youngsters astray. The

rising number of children who are reported drug dependant, delinquent, depressed

and suicidal, every other day are alone enough to determine the seriousness of the

matter.

I believe growing up in an environment that upholds religious values and

importance of prayer will help bring up a generation of God fearing youth, fully

confident of taking on the world. Prayer in the most simplest of definitions is “our

conversation with God”, and is what fortifies us from within. I can say with

conviction that most of us in our generation, from whichever religion we belong

to, were brought up with utmost reverence and importance for God. Everything

else was secondary. We were expected to work hard, score high marks , attain

accolades, but none of these, at the expense of forfeiting God. Our parents

carried out thoroughly the duty entrusted upon them, which we in our ignorance

sometimes neglect. It is up to us to guide, and inculcate in them the belief in God,

and to teach them to pray.

Our children, the young people of the age of globalization, have a lot to

contribute to the world, and for them to do so, we parents need to take

responsibility of bringing them up as healthy and confident soldiers of humanity.

Let’s hope that under our watchful eye, we guide posterity, to walk hand in hand

with God, as they aim to scale ever greater heights.

“Payments Banks”-Scope of activities in India

- Jc. T.M. Ramachandran BBS,LLB,ACS,MBA Company Secretary in Practice

THRISSUR, KERALA 680 001 INDIA

E mail: [email protected]

The Payments Bank will be set up as a differentiated bank and shall confine its activities to further the objectives for which it is set up. Therefore, the Payments

Bank would be permitted to undertake only certain restricted activities permitted to banks under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, as given below:

i. Acceptance of demand deposits, i.e., current deposits, and savings bank deposits. The eligible deposits mobilised by the Payments Bank would be

covered under the deposit insurance scheme of the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation of India (DICGC). Given that their primary role

is to provide payments and remittance services and demand deposit products to small businesses and low-income households, Payments Banks will initially be restricted to holding a maximum balance of Rs. 100,000 per customer.

After the performance of the Payments Bank is gauged by the RBI, the maximum balance can be raised. If the transactions in the accounts conform

to the “small accounts”1 transactions, simplified KYC/AML/CFT norms will be applicable to such accounts as defined under the Rules framed under the Prevention of Money-laundering Act, 2002.

ii. Payments and remittance services through various channels including branches, BCs and mobile banking. The payments / remittance services

would include acceptance of funds at one end through various channels including branches and BCs and payments of cash at the other end, through branches, BCs, and Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). Cash-out can also be

permitted at Point-of-Sale terminal locations as per extant instructions issued under the PSS Act. In the case of walk-in customers, the bank should follow

the extant KYC guidelines issued by the RBI. iii. Issuance of PPIs as per instructions issued from time to time under the PSS

Act. iv. Internet banking - The RBI is also open to applicants transacting primarily

using the Internet. The Payments Bank is expected to leverage technology to

offer low cost banking solutions. Such a bank should ensure that it has all enabling systems in place including business partners, third party service

providers and risk managements systems and controls to enable offering transactional services on the internet. While offering such services, the

Page 12: Jaycee Herald 201503

Payments Bank will be required to comply with RBI instructions on information security, electronic banking, technology risk management and cyber frauds.

v. Functioning as Business Correspondent (BC) of other banks – A Payments Bank may choose to become a BC of another bank for credit and other

services which it cannot offer.

The Payments Bank cannot undertake lending activities. Apart from amounts maintained as Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) with RBI, minimum cash in hand and balances with a scheduled commercial bank/RBI required for operational activities

and liquidity management, it will be required to invest all its monies in Government securities/Treasury Bills with maturity up to one year that are recognized by RBI as

eligible securities for maintenance of Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR). The Payments Bank will participate in the payment and settlement system and will have access to the inter-bank uncollateralised call money market and the collateralised CBLO

market for purposes of temporary liquidity management. The Payments Bank cannot set up subsidiaries to undertake non-banking financial services activities.

The other financial and non-financial services activities of the promoters, if any, should be kept distinctly ring-fenced and not comingled with the banking and financial services business of the Payments Bank.

The Payments Bank will be required to use the word “Payments” in its name in order to differentiate it from other banks. The foreign shareholding in the bank would be as per the extant FDI policy.

The existing non-bank PPI issuers authorised under the Payment and Settlement

Systems Act, 2007 (PSS Act) and other entities such as Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs), corporate BCs, mobile telephone companies, super-market

chains, companies, real sector cooperatives and public sector entities may apply to set up a Payments Bank. Even banks can take equity stake in a Payments Bank to the extent permitted under Section 19 (2) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.

The entities and their Promoters/ Promoter Groups as defined in the SEBI (Issue of Capital & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2009 should be ‘fit and proper’ in order to be eligible to promote Payments Banks. RBI would assess the ‘fit and

proper’ status of the applicants on the basis of their past record of sound credentials and integrity; financial soundness and successful track record of at least

5 years in running their businesses.

The Payments Bank will be registered as a public limited company under the Companies Act, 2013, and licensed under Section 22 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, with specific licensing conditions restricting its activities to acceptance of

demand deposits and provision of payments and remittance services. It will be governed by the provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, Reserve Bank of

India Act, 1934, Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007, other relevant Statutes and Directives, Prudential Regulations and other Guidelines/Instructions issued by RBI and other regulators

from time to time, including the regulations of SEBI regarding public issues and other guidelines applicable to listed banking companies.

A Celebration Called Life – Gayathri Manoj

Life is a journey

Full of light, hopes and happiness

And even darkness and sorrows

Life is just like an adventure

With many interesting stages

Childhood, just like me

Adulthood, just like my parents

Old age, just like my grand parents

Life is a journey full of fun

And lot of dullness too

Still I Love My Life

And I am celebrating it.

To tell the story of the JCI Movement's impact over the past 100 years, we need to

hear from young active citizens like you and your fellow JCI members who are

creating positive change each and every day around the world.

In celebration of 100 years of impact, JCI is working on a number of projects that

will tell the JCI story, from a 100th Anniversary publication to the short

documentary, "What's in a Movement". Not only can your stories be featured in

these special edition 100th Anniversary projects, but they may also be used in JCI

communications like the Local Action Bulletin or JCI Annual Report.

The Philippines was the first country in Asia that officially joined the JCI Movement,

gaining full affiliation in 1948. "...Hindsight allows us to say that nation-

building would have been impossible without rallying the youth and

applying all its vast talents and energies..." - Amb. Ramon. V. del Rosario,

Sr. (1948 Charter President, JCI Manila). One of the first local projects

conducted in the country was advanced democracy and freedom. In 1948, the "Get

out the Vote" Campaign was JCI Manila's first project and educated people on the

significance of their right to vote. JCI Philippines members continue create positive

change while remembering their rich history as Asia's premier JCI National

Organization.

To share these stories with the world, we invite change makers from across the

globe to contribute photos, video footage, project reports and stories depicting

what it means to be part of the JCI Movement. We cannot tell this story without the

experience of each and every one of JCI's members over the last century.

Check out the JCI 100th Anniversary Story Submission Guide to learn about

the type of stories we are looking for. Visit the JCI 100th Anniversary website to
