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.
