According to Minister of State for Communications and IT Sachin Pilot,the portal would be made available in regional languages also so that the common man can avail the benefits.
The ambitious project of India Post will offer seven services in the first phase, which include electronic money order (eMO), instant money order (iMO), sale of philatelic stamps, postal information, tracking of express and international shipments, pin code search and registering of feed back and complaints.
India Post has concrete plans in place to scale up the portal to a full-fledged e-market place, which would offer a wide range of postal and non-postal products.
