Shri Tilak De Chief Postmaster General Odisha Circle launched “Mobile Money
Transfer” Service of India Post and Maverick Mobile Solution Pvt. Ltd in association BSNL have
joined hands to launch this service.
This service enables
immediate ‘money transfer’ from one person to another through Post
offices using mobile phones. The Postal assistants use the mobile phone and
technology provided by BSNL. The sender and recipient customers can have mobile
number of any Telecom operator.
At Present, this
service is enabled in more than 8000 Post Offices across 15 Postal Circles
( Punjab, Delhi, Bihar, Jharkhand,Maharashtra,UP , Kerala ,Rajasthan, Gujarat,
Haryana , Andhra Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and
Karnataka ).Now Odisha Circle is also added to the said list.
In this service,
money is accepted (Cash-in) from sender customers by Post office (PO) at
originating Post office & the money is sent to the recipient’s mobile
number by the Postal Assistant. The sender customer and recipient customer
immediately gets SMS of ‘money transfer’ on their mobile phone. The sender
customer also gets a secret code on his/her mobile for this transaction, which
he/she has to inform to the recipient customer. With the transaction-id and
secret code the recipient customer can immediately walk in the nearest Post
office in any part of the country, enabled for this service and can claim
money.
While Launching the
service, CPMG said, "India is among
the few leading nations, where tele-density has increased at a very fast pace.
Mobile Money Transfer Service is first of its kind in India and targets largely
the migrant people and students, who are working or studying away from their
families. It enables instant transfer of Money on the mobile
number through SMS. Also, this service synergises large number of Points of
Presence (POPs) of DoP and vast spread of mobile network of BSNL to serve the
common man." This service will certainly change the trends of
Remittance in Odisha Circle and generate huge transactions within
and outside of the Circle. The key features of the service like RECALL &
CASH IN REVERSAL etc make the service much more convenient for any customer.
The flexiblity in the service is the USP of the service. Mobile Money
Transfer Service is user friendly for Postal Assistants and it has
been developed keeping in mind the Customer Delight as well.
