According to a report, India Post Payments Bank will be able to provide this service through over 1.65 lakh post offices and over 3 lakh postal employees across the country. Employees will be able to go to every home and prepare digital life certificates. They will also have access to equipment that will include face and fingerprint biometric systems. Pensioners will receive the facility free of charge through the EPFO.
