In this process, there will be no need to fill out any form or the hassle of filling the deposit slip. This is a revolutionary change.
What is this modern facility
Now there will be no hassle of paper to open an account for these savings schemes in the PO (Post Office) office. You just have to give your Aadhaar card and fingerprint. And your account will be opened in a few minutes. This process is completely digital, that is, everything is done through a computer. This is a boon for those who want to avoid long paperwork.
How to open an post office instant account
- Go to the post office and tell the employee at the counter that you want to open an account!
- They will take your Aadhaar card from you and get your fingerprint in the machine.
- Your information will automatically come in the SIM.
- Tell us how much money you want to deposit.
- Then once again the fingerprint will be taken and the account will be opened.
You will not have to fill any form or slip. The information given by you will be considered final.This process is so simple that now opening an account has become a child’s play.

If you still want to open an account by filling a form, then that facility will also continue. That is, this new facility is not forced, but a choice. The post office always takes care of the convenience of its customers.
