Posted On: 15 APR 2020 4:48PM by PIB Delhi
With
an aim to fight Covid-19 and to achieve the objective of social
distancing and prevent crowding at the post offices, post offices have taken
steps to ensure door step delivery of pension to the elderly pensioners.
The neighbourhood Post Office is providing its services to the society and
trying to supplement the efforts of the state/local administration to reach out
to the masses to fulfil their financial, health care and welfare needs in these
challenging times of Covid-19.
Post
offices across J&K and Ladakh UTs are being opened with the primary
objective of facilitating financial transactions- easy withdrawals and deposits
of funds so that the people can have sufficient cash flow to fulfil their day
to day requirements of basic needs. In this regard, Aadhaar enabled Payment
System (AePS) has also been enabled at the post offices so that the people
having bank account with any bank can withdraw upto Rs 10000/- per month from
any Post office. The only condition is that the bank account must be linked
with the Aadhaar of the beneficiary.

The Post office is
aware of its social obligation and the need to provide relief and succour to
the poor and weaker section of the society in this time of crisis. In close
coordination with state/local administration efforts are being made to dry
ration and safety gears such as masks, sanitizers and soap to the public.
Departmental mail motor vehicles have been placed at the disposal of district/
municipal authorities to provide logistics support in distribution of food and
other items, medicines etc. Sanitization of Post office premises has also been
