New Delhi:Post offices across India will start accepting digital payments at counters from August after completing the rollout of a new application in their IT system, official sources said.

Rollout will be completed at all post offices by August 2025," an official source told PTI.Pilot rollout of the new system under IT 2.0 has been started in the Karnataka circle. QR-based booking of mail products was successfully carried out at the Mysore head office (HO), Bagalkot HO and its subordinate offices.
