Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha announced that the work was on to install ATMs and micro ATMs at over 1.25 lakh post offices across the country to help people living in far-flung areas to withdraw money.
Sinha told Lok Sabha that 'Bank Mitra', people hired temporarily at branches with inadequate staff, will also be of a big help in this regard.

The minister also said that over 60,000 people have been recruited against the retirement of 38,000.
