The new APT Environment under IT 2.0 has been made live, enabling employees to access their service particulars and other details through their individual login pages. This step is part of the broader digital transformation initiative of India Post aimed at enhancing transparency and efficiency in personnel management.
Data Omissions Observed During UAT
