e-Bill Post Service launched
|
 The e-Bill Post Service for TATA Tele Services Limited was launched on March 26, 2004 at the Anna Road HPO in Chennai. The customers of TATA Tele Services Limited can now pay their bills at the nearest identified Post Office during the cash transaction hours of the Post Office. The payment details will be uploaded online to the Central Server at New Delhi. This facilitates the payment details to be passed on to the Service Provider on the following day of the transaction itself.
This facility of paying the telephone and mobile bills at the Post Offices will be of much use to the customers who would find it difficult to go to a particular place to pay the bill. A computerized receipt will also be issued to the customer, said. Vatsala Raghu, Chief Postmaster General, Tamil Nadu Circle, while speaking at the inauguration of the scheme.

e-BiII Post service is proposed to be launched for BSNL, Touchtel, Reliance and HUTCH Service Providers shortly, she said.
