Starting with the launch of 3,250 access points, IPPB said it will be spreading its footprint and leveraging the vast postal network of nearly 1.55 lakh post offices and three lakh postal employees to serve its customers in every district, town and village, according to the Hindu Business Line.
IPPB, which was incorporated as a public limited company with 100% government holding under the Department of Posts on August 17, 2016, is looking to procure about 1.6 lakh smartphones and about 2.7 lakh biometric devices (scanners) to facilitate doorstep banking.
