Minister of State for Communications Dr Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani chaired a high-level review meeting of Department of Posts. During the meeting, Dr Pemmasani reviewed the Postal Savings Bank’s digital and financial security framework and called for stronger safeguards through biometric and OTP-based authentication for officials.
The Minister called for adopting a multi-pronged, technology-backed, robust and incentive-driven framework to curb revenue leakages across the postal network. He suggested conducting focused field audits of high-volume Post Offices and ordered integration of weighing machines with postal IT systems to eliminate manual errors and under-invoicing.
