Cautions to seal banks on non-compliance
Directs to provide parking space to their staff, customers
Raipur, July 12, 2010
The RMC has asked all the private and nationalised banks to close down their operations in residential areas and to shift in the commercial places. The municipal Commissioner Om Prakash Choudhary has cautioned that stern action would be taken against those banks which would not follow the instructions and the RMC would even take serious step like sealing them. Choudhary’s warning came on Monday while he was interacting with managers of all the banks functioning within the RMC periphery in connection with the mismanaged parking facility in banks and ATMs that was aggravating traffic problem in the city.
Choudhary categorically said that neither any commercial establishment would be allowed in the residential areas nor any bank can continue its operations.
He also directed the bank managers to provide adequate parking space to their staff and customers. He said the banks could also arrange separate parking lot in nearby areas if they do not have ample space in their premises. The bank managements were also asked to hire private security guards to keep the parking space organised. Choudhary made it apparent that the municipal would impose heavy fine and take stern action against the banks where vehicles would be found parked on road and in public place hampering the traffic.
The banks will also have to obtain no objection certificate (NOC) from the Town and Country Planning department to open new branch. But the NOC would only be issued to those banks that would clearly mention parking space in their maps.
The banks will have to pay Rs 12,000 as permission fee to open new ATM and have to pay Rs 6000 as annual renewal fee to the RMC. Similarly, a new branch of bank can be opened by submitting Rs 25,000 as permission fee while the annual renewal fee will be Rs 10,000. Choudhary said although the existing banks would not have to pay the permission fee, but they would have to mandatorily submit the renewal fee timely.
Choudhary further appealed to the bank managers to help the civic body to beautify the capital city and to create budget for development of Raipur’s road intersections, triangles and public places.

Notably, the RMC had invited registered unemployed youths of the capital city with the application and their complete documents for verification on Monday.
