Important Points for UPI Transactions at Post Office Counter

Here Below all important Points (Errors and Solution) regarding UPI/QR Payments in POS of Post Office Counter While Booking of Speed Post or Registered Post

Steps for maintaining QR payment at counter before transaction

1. QR code created on the basis of Counter no and office name. Hence it is very important to paste/display proper QR code at the counter as configured in POS back office. e.g: – if one counter is mentioned 1 in POS Back office, the QR code for Counter number no 1 should be paste in that counter only.
2. Scan to check QR code counter number and confirm and make small note on the sticker for future identification. Note: it has been observed wrong QR code has been pasted, not following the proper counter number.
3. Check whether Daily and High sync is running properly or not. If not, then rectify High and daily sync and then book through QR code.
4. If machine changed due to any reason immediately configure same counter no in replace of the PC.
5. Remember QR payment to be made on exact amount not rounded amount , so decimal figure need to be paid by customer.
