(a)to(c) Sir, no such scheme has been introduced by the Department of Posts on all
India basis. However, four postal circles i.e. Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka
and Madhya Pradesh on their own initiative have provided facility of delivery of cash
at the doorstep of account holder through postman in a limited manner on an experimental
basis. The facility allows the account holder to authorize the postman to collect cash on his
behalf and deliver the same to him at his doorstep. For this service, the account holder agrees
to pay a token charge.
