Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Scheme: Simple Explanation

What is BYOD?

The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) scheme allows post office delivery staff to use their own smartphones for official delivery work and receive a monthly payment for using their devices.


Latest Update (2025)

  • The monthly reimbursement has been increased to Rs. 500 per month.
    • Rs. 300 for smartphone usage (earlier Rs. 200).
    • Rs. 200 for data/voice/SMS charges (earlier Rs. 150).

Conditions for Reimbursement

✅ Delivery staff must process at least 90% of received articles through the mobile app to get the reimbursement under the BYOD scheme.

✅ The number of articles delivered will not be considered; only app processing is mandatory.

✅ Supervisors and staff should be informed to handle all accountable articles through the app to avoid payment issues.


Upcoming Mobile App Requirements

The Integrated Mobile App (IMA) 2.0 will soon be rolled out under the IT Modernization Project 2.0, requiring phones with better specifications.

Minimum revised specifications for devices under the BYOD scheme are shared with divisions to ensure your device remains compatible.


Payment Processing

Divisional Heads are directed to ensure timely payment under the BYOD scheme to encourage staff to continue using their devices and to motivate others to join the scheme.

Details of enrolled devices should be shared with the MO Division fortnightly in the prescribed format.


Why BYOD is Important

  • Encourages delivery staff to upgrade devices.
  • Ensures faster delivery updates.
  • Helps the Department adopt digital workflows easily.

Summary

  • BYOD reimbursement increased to Rs. 500/month.
  • Must process 90% of articles using the app.
  • New app requires upgraded smartphones.
  • Timely payments to be ensured for enrolled staff.

This helps the Postal Department improve delivery efficiency while ensuring staff receive fair support for using personal smartphones.
