The Department of Posts’ integration with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) enables sellers on ONDC-enabled buyer applications to select the Department of Posts for parcel pickup, booking, transmission, and delivery through its extensive nationwide postal network.

At present, the Department of Posts is live on ONDC with the “Click & Book” model. Under this model, sellers can digitally generate pickup requests, choose the Department of Posts as the logistics partner, and have parcels collected from their premises. Postage is collected at the time of pickup, and consignments are inducted, tracked, and delivered using the Department’s technology-enabled logistics systems.

With its unmatched reach, trusted public service legacy, and expanding digital capabilities, the Department of Posts’ onboarding as a Logistics Service Provider on ONDC will significantly strengthen the national digital e-commerce ecosystem and enable inclusive participation of MSMEs and small sellers across the country.
