Praising MS Ramanujam, chief post master general, for taking measures to provide an ATM and other services in Karnataka Postal Circle, the minister said that the Department of Posts should make an attempt to increase revenue. “You have done a good job of associating with Department of Tourism which has agreed to find a sponsor for maintaining the heritage building of Postal Department on Museum Road,’’ he said.

The following are features of the ATM service:
  • The Department of Posts will issue ATM cards free of cost
  • Card holders can transact from any DOP ATMs in the country
  • Instant ATM cards will be issued at the Post Offices
  • Personalised cards will be issued within 15 to 20 days
