The Qatar-India remittance service based on PosTransfer powered by UPI is now available. It enables customers in Qatar to send funds directly to UPI-enabled bank accounts in India through Qatar Post outlets. The Communications Ministry said that the service offers an instant, secure, convenient and accessible channel for cross-border remittances, particularly benefiting the large Indian community in Qatar and their families in India. The initiative combines the extensive reach of postal networks with India’s digital public infrastructure to provide an efficient and convenient channel for cross-border remittances.
The Ministry informed that the service has been developed through the collaboration of Qatar Post, India Post, the Universal Postal Union’s Interconnection Platform (UPU-IP), and NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL). It further said that India Post is also working with postal operators in other countries to operationalise additional PosTransfer powered by UPI corridors, further strengthening international financial connectivity for the Indian diaspora.
