What is India Post Payments Bank (IPPB)?

IPPB stands for India Post Payments Bank. It's a payments bank launched by the Indian government in 2018 with the aim of making banking services accessible to everyone in the country, especially those in rural and underbanked areas. It's not a separate social security scheme but a banking service offered by the Indian Post that allows you to manage some existing social security schemes, like the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY).

Under the IPPB (Indian Post Payment Bank), all your post office transactions, including Post Office Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana online payment, can be done online, just like any other regular bank. All you need to do for IPPB is visit your nearest post office once for basic registration. After that, you can easily carry out all your post-office-related transactions online.

The IPPB route can be used to transfer money into your SSY account using two channels.
