I received a mail from one of my friends & thought of sharing the same info through this platform. Its a very useful info.
India Post has recently started issuing ADDRESS PROOF CARDS which are similar to Indian Government ID Cards like Driving License & Voter's ID. These can be used to open Bank Accounts, procure Phone / Internet connections, etc. The user has to apply for the same at the nearest Post Office by paying Rs.250 (Rs.10 - Application & Rs.240 - Processing Fee). The application would be processed within 10 days & the Address verification would be done in co-ordination with the local Beat Inspector. Since India Post is a Government entity, I would suggest people to constantly follow-up so that the Address Proof Card gets issued within the stipulated 10 days. The Validity of the ID Card would be for 3 years after which the applicant has to re-apply. In the meantime if the applicant changes his address, his Card would be rendered invalid. The Card would come laminated with an Indian Post Hologram embossed within it. For more info do contact your nearest Post Office.
I sincerely pray that this initiative from India Post turns out to be a grand success & helps the citizens in acquiring an Address Proof without much difficulty.
