We are glad to inform you that POSA Linkage of Joint-B type accounts with an IPPB Account is now enabled in our system. Please refer attached document for details.

Kindly note that the SOP to link a POSA account with IPPB remains the same. Hence, all controls w.r.t Name checking by end user using POSA Passbook remains the same.

Type of Joint Accounts in DOP – POSA Joint Accounts POSB Joint account can be opened by two or three adults and to be operated by them. Any number of accounts can be opened by the depositor(s) but NOT more than one single, one joint account and one Minor Account as Guardian can be opened in each post office. A person can open two joint accounts with two different partners at the same post office. For example, if A,B and C open a joint account in one post office, A can also open separate joint accounts with B & C respectively. In other words, A can open one separate Joint Account with B and another separate Joint Account with C.
