Post office accounts are widely used by Indians for savings accounts and deposit accounts. Citizens also use post office accounts for various savings schemes like PPF, NSC, monthly savings schemes, etc. In recent times, account holders are required to include their phone numbers in these post office accounts to receive account related SMSes.
