At
present COD facility for Business Parcel/Express parcel consignment is
restricted to the offices which have ePayment facility including linked BOs. As this restriction was adversely affecting
the business and at the same time since there was a number of
requests from the Circles as well as customers
to provide booking facility of COD articles to those locations also which do
not have e Payment facility at present, competent authority has ordered to allow booking of COD parcels
to such PIN Codes also
with effect from 1st August 2014.
Due
to unavailability of ePayment facility in these Post Offices, it is not
possible to remit the COD a mount through e Payment system. Hence in order to remit COD amount, such Post
Offices will provide information to their concerned Head Post Offices after
delivery of the articles to facilitate booking service money orders till the time
ePayment is made functional in these Post Offices.
In order to allow booking of COD parcel s to these Post
Offices and remit a mount through
service money order,
CEPT will make
necessary software changes
to ensure smooth operations. Data of
such PIN Codes has already been s hared with CEPT.
Data
regarding unavailability of ePayment in Post Offices has been shared on the
email IDs of concerned CPMG. Circles have
been instructed to install epayment in these offices under intimation CEPT
Mysore. In case any SO/EDSOs has been
downgraded to BOs, concerned PIN code must be deactivated in the system. Director General of Post directed that the
work of installing ePayment as well as data cleaning in respect of SOs
downgraded to BO must me taken on priority basis.
Manner of
handling of COD
articles received for delivery
in such Post
Offices and remittance of payment will
be same as given in para
S(C) of letter No. 10-32/2 013-BD
& MD dated 03.03.2 014[Copy
