Now it is even more tempting to
receive money remitted from foreign countries at Post Offices. Now whenever your
relatives, residing in foreign countries, send you money, visit the nearest
identified Post Office, there not only you will receive you money conveniently,
you will be presented an assured gift by the Post Office. This information was
provided by Director Postal Services, Allahabad Region Mr. Krishna Kumar Yadav.
Mr.
Krishna Kumar Yadav, Director Postal Services said that Department of Posts has
started this special scheme in collaboration with Western Union Services India
Private Ltd. as a consumer promotion initiative for customers who receive their
foreign remittances through Post Office. This scheme will be operational upto
30 September, and under this scheme every time a customer visits Post office to
collect his foreign remittance he will be given an assured gift. Mr. Yadav
further added that other than these assured gifts customers will have the
opportunity to enter in lucky draw and win mobile handsets.
It

providing their customers the facility to receive remittances from foreign
countries under the Western Union International Money Transfer Service. Director
