LUDHIANA: In what might be good news for students studying abroad, the postal department will start ‘videsh money order scheme’ in city post offices soon, allowing parents to send cash at less rates.
According to sources, the service will offer international cash to cash and cash to account transfers with special remittances for students studying abroad. Customers will be able to send remittance to their beneficiaries in cash, by cheque as well as crediting the payment into the account of beneficiaries.
Payment up to Rs 50,000 could be received in cash and payments above Rs 50,000 will be paid through cheque or credited in amount of the payee and the maximum limit is up to Rs 1 lakh. An employee of the postal department said two employees have already received training and the service will be started soon.
Gurmeet, a city resident, said the service would be very helpful for her, but the only thing that would be required is good service. Rekha Sethi, officiating supervisor at the city head post office, said the department has already received the nod for starting the service but no specific date has been decided.
