Here
is a good news for the customers of postal services. Now, the money
orders will become hassle-free and can be disbursed via an SMS. The
trials are completed and the services are expected to be launched soon.
Speaking to CIOL, BSNL CMD RK
Upadhyay said that they are working as per the memorandum of
understanding (MoU) signed with the department of post (DoP). "We are in
the final stages of service rollout" he informed.
The government initially chose Bihar and Punjab to initiate the service since a lot of immigrant workers hail from these states.

Secretary, Manjula Prasher had on an earlier occasion told CIOL that
mobile money orders would be a good initiative to help immigrant workers
who remit money to their home states.
The project will empower
designated post offices with mobile devices that have pre-embedded the
application. While transferring, the remittance senders' need to furnish
basic details that includes receivers' mobile number.
The receiver will get a 16-digit
transaction code via SMS from which money can be claimed from a local
post office. The government has planned to allow instant money order
service up to Rs. 50,000.
