IT 2.0. : Key Learnings from IT 2.0 Rollout at Ittgeguda S.O, Karnataka
1. CIS (McCAMISH) Integration
CIS is now fully integrated. The amounts are directly reflected in the “Cash in Hand” at the counter, and the corresponding figures are automatically updated under the relevant Head of Accounts in the Daily Account/TCB.
2. Mobile Device Setup for IPPB Apps
We need to share the following details with the IPPB team using the shared spreadsheet:
BO Name
BO New ID
MDM ID of IPPB-supplied mobile devices
This will enable IPPB to push the Dopto Connect and IMA apps to these devices. After this, the devices must be added in the Device Registration module and registered following the standard desktop process.
3. Finacle & IPPB Figures in IT 2.0
Finacle and IPPB figures are updated under the correct Heads of Account only after:
HISCOD is performed by the SOL (post office itself)
HISCOD is completed at the Circle level
In Treasury → Tools → Fetch CBS/IPPB Figures, all transaction figures can be viewed. The difference amount shown here should match the amount remitted by the Finacle Counter PA.
Currently, Finacle Counter PAs are performing CBS transactions outside of IT 2.0 using vault operations. To adjust “Cash in Hand” in IT 2.0, they use Wallet Adjustment Receipts and Wallet Adjustment Payments for CBS transactions and Deposits (IPPB Customer Receipts)/Withdrawals (IPPB Customer Payments) in Treasury- Tool- Misc Transactions
Note: Postmen are strictly not allowed to perform IPPB transactions after office hours.
4. Counter Functionality and QR Payments
The counter interface is working smoothly. QR payments by customers are enabled, and each counter is being supplied with a QR display device.
5. Mail Bag and Article Handling in IT 2.0
RMS-dispatched bags are fetched automatically into IT 2.0 and listed as “Expected.” After the bag is opened and articles are received, they should appear in the Postman Module. Only then can they be invoiced to Postmen or BOs.
Once invoiced, they are immediately visible in the IMA app (Postman/BPM), eliminating the need for double invoicing like in PMA.
Postmen must perform returns themselves; these will auto-update in the Postman Module.
For BOs: After BPM processes returns and dispatches the bag to the AO, the Sub Accounts Branch will open the BO AC bag and verify the articles. They then become available for dispatch to the Sorting Office.
Note: Returned articles from BOs are not being fetched quickly into the Postman Module at present.
6. Discrepancies in Article Receipts
If there is any discrepancy (e.g., excess or shortage) in the articles received in a bag, an error entry is generated automatically in the system.
7. Discrepancies in BO Daily Account
If the Sub Accounts Branch system finds any discrepancy in a BO’s Daily Account (e.g., in CBS or IPPB figures), the PA can create an error entry. This will automatically be included in the BO Slip of the next day.
