Distribution of Mutual Funds and Securities:​

The Post Office has traditionally been a distributor of financial services, from money orders to banking services. The Post Office Savings Bank is the largest retail bank in the country, operating from over 1,50,000 branches. With an objective to leverage the strength of the postal network and skills Department of Posts had started retailing mutual funds and bonds.

At present select schemes of UTI Mutual Fund only are retailed through the designated post offices in the country through NISM/EUIN certified staff.
