Transforming the humble post office into a gateway for wealth creation, the Department of Posts has partnered with Stock Holding Services Limited (SSL). Signed on Tuesday in New Delhi, this deal promises to extend regulated investment services to India’s remotest corners.
The goal is clear: use India Post’s trust and reach to ramp up involvement in organized capital markets. Patrons will find digital entry points—think QR codes and links—at select branches for SSL’s comprehensive offerings, including demat accounts, trading, mutual funds, and IPO applications.
Investor training is a cornerstone, with collaborative workshops to demystify markets and promote responsible investing.
Secretary Vandita Kaul of DoP called it a bold stride in financial inclusion, aligning with Viksit Bharat 2047 and harnessing digital postal upgrades for secure market entry.
Prabhath Kumar Dubey, SSL’s MD & CEO, voiced enthusiasm for broadening access to fair, regulated services and nurturing investor knowledge.
Amid India Post’s digital renaissance, this partnership is expected to ignite participation, enhance empowerment, and contribute substantially to India’s economic narrative.
