The postmen are going door-to-door to disburse the amount to those who have accounts registered under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana. Approximately, 900 people have benefitted from AEPS in Nashik.

The postmen carry a hand-held machine on which the beneficiary has to give his thumb impression to withdraw the money. The beneficiaries can also use the one time password sent on their registered mobile numbers to use the service. The postmen have to mandatorily wear masks while working on the field.

Apart from the Jan Dhan account holders, people can withdraw upto Rs 10,000 from the India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) or any other nationalised bank.
