The Post Office Savings Bank is the biggest bank in the country with a network of about 160000 branches, most of which are situated in the rural area with a history dating back to 1880s. It is a major instrument available to the Government to mobilise savings.
In Kerala there are about 5000 post offices including ED sub offices (about 500) and ED Branch offices (about 3000).
The Post Office Savings Bank is an agency function performed by the Department of Posts on behalf of the Ministry of Finance (DEA), Government of India. Promotion of business in small savings was mainly the concern of the National Savings Institute, Government of India, headquartered at Nagpur. But recently the burden of mobilization is being increasingly shouldered by the respective State Governments. The rules of the Savings Schemes are framed by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India in consultation with the National Savings Commissioner and Department of Posts. The National Savings collections invested in the NSS become available resources for development to the Central and State Governments. 100% of the net collections in a year in the States become available as loans to the respective State Government. The State Government, therefore, take keen and active interest and work jointly with the National Savings Institute for the promotion of the movement, as also of the savings schemes.
Many State Governments have set up their own small savings organisation with small Savings Directorate at State Head Quarters and offices at lower formations.
In Kerala there is a separate Department for the promotion of National Savings named Directorate of National Savings under the administrative control of the State Finance Department.

Popularization of schemes under POSB.

To inculcate the habit of savings among public especially among the rural population.

Appoint agents under MPKBY, SAS and PPF and create self-employment opportunities among educated youth of Kerala.

Implement the development schemes introduced by the State Government every year utilizing the funds of National Savings.

State Government periodically declares lucky prize schemes and special cash incentives to investors. Special schemes with public participation were periodically launched and the money so mobilized was used for the overall developmental activities of the State.

In the beginning the object of the Post Office Savings Bank was to encourage the habit of thrift among the common man but this concept has undergone a radical change during the last three decades. From the restrictive objective of providing a facility to the public to deposit their small savings, the post office savings bank has become a medium to mobilizing large resources running into hundreds of crores every year for plan projects. As a result of the change in the role, the expectations of the performance of the POSB have gone up very much both in the minds of those concerned with small savings and the general public. It has also been established that approximately 30% of the total collections on small savings in the country are drawn from the rural population. It shows how well and deeply the POSB has penetrated the farthest and the isolated villages of India. The POSB is now a major instrument available to the government for mopping up savings both in rural and urban areas.
National Savings Directorate is the State Government Department, which is mainly engaged in the popularization of various small savings schemes. As the Central government releases the whole net collection to the State Government as long-term loan Kerala Government is making every effort to mobilise sizable savings with the participation of Government departments, local bodies, statutory boards, voluntary organizations, school sanchayika, Payroll savings groups and authorized agency forces like SAS, MPKBY and PPF.

National Savings Department has Head Office at Thiruvananthapuram and District Offices in all the 14 Districts in the State.

Finance Department is the pioneer department in Kerala which promoted the use of Computers in governance in the State by establishing a Data Processing Centre in 1976. Most probably it is one of the initial landmarks in the very beginning of the use of Computer Technology for governance in Government not only in our state but in entire India. The Centre started functioning in association with Kerala University Computer Centre and using a TDC-316 computer. In 1977 Government sanctioned the implementation of a new procedure for improving expenditure control with the help of Data Processing Centre. This initiative started with the compilation of transactions of Police, Education and Medical Departments in 1977. In 1983 a separate building was constructed for the Government Data Processing Centre adjacent to the Kerala University Computer Centre. During 1983-1989 the Centre started compilation of all government receipts an payments under selected heads, daily cash flow report based on data from SBI and SBT, preparation of Money Order Pension schedules, preparation of DA tables, coordination of Treasury computerisation activities and data processing related to more departments like Economics & Statistics, KSIE, Industries etc. In 1994 the Centre started the computerised preparation of Revenue Budget and preparation of Revenue Budget, Demands for Grants and Debt Head Budget from 1995 onwards.

Till the formation of Information Technology Department in 1998, Finance Department provided leadership for implementing IT related initiatives. The initiatives like Wide Area Network project to connect the Government Offices in the Secretariat, Vikas Bhavan and Public Office etc were initiated by Finance Department during this period.

Finance is the first State Department that implemented the use of Computers down to Section level. The Web based Service and Pay Roll Administrative Repository was first implemented in Finance Department. A full fledged implementation of web based file tracking/monitoring system IDEAS was also carried out in Finance Department. Finance Department is among the pioneers who used Free and Open Source Software for the in house development and management of department websites in the state government. The prototype of the Website was launched on 14th November, 2007 using Joomla, a free software released under GNU/GPL license, and with the technical support of Kerala State IT Mission.

Later vide G.O (Ms) No.28/2008/ITD dated 26/07/2008, Government in IT Department has ordered to create IT Division in all Government Departments and PSUs to develop in-house technical manpower for implementing e-Governance applications. In this context, Finance Department has additional requirements for such an IT Division to ensure quality expenditure in e-governance across the state, to capacitate District Finance Inspection Squads and Internal Audit Wings in this matter, coordinate the egovernance activities of its four line departments and also to capacitate the Finance Department personnel in the General Service. Accordingly in G.O (Ms) No.528/2009/Fin dated 25/11/2009 Government have constituted and IT Division in Finance Department by merging Data Processing Centre and Code Revision Section by renaming the existing posts without any post creation. The Finance IT Division has three units viz Training and Development Unit, Systems Unit and Software Unit. The Finance IT Division is headed by the Director (Information Systems). In G.O (Ms) No.06/2010/Fin dated 05/01/2010 government have ordered work distribution among the three units of the new Finance IT Division.

The State Financial Corporation Bill, having been passed by both the Houses of Parliament, received the assent of the President of India on 31st October 1951. It came on the Statute Book as State Financial Corporations Act, 1951 (63 of 1951). The act provides that "the State Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, establish a Financial Corporation for the State under such name as may be specified in the notification".

In accordance with the above Central Act, the Travancore Cochin Financial Corporation was incorporated on 01.12.1953. Consequent to the reorganization of states on linguistic basis in November 1956, Kerala State was formed and the Travancore Cochin Financial Corporation was renamed as Kerala Financial Corporation.

Kerala Financial Corporation (KFC) plays a major role in Industrial growth by extending Industrial Finance to Service Sector projects.

KFC has 16 Branch Offices with its Head Quarters at Thiruvananthapuram and Zonal Offices at Kozhikode, Ernakulam and Thiruvananthapuram.
