The Post Office has always provided different savings and investment options. With increasing digitalization, it has also started offering many services online.
One such facility is the e-passbook service. Earlier, customers could only check their transactions through a physical passbook. Now, they can view their balance and mini-statement online from home.
What is an E-Passbook?
The e-passbook is an online feature that lets customers check details of select post office schemes such as Savings Account, Public Provident Fund (PPF), and Sukanya Samriddhi Account (SSA).
At present, it provides balance and mini-statement services, while full statements for all schemes will be introduced soon.
How to Check Mini-Statement?
As per the India Post website:
Select your scheme and enter the account details.
An OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number.
After verification, choose either Balance or Mini-Statement option.
The details will appear on the screen, and the mini-statement can also be downloaded if required.
