Frama AG, a Swiss mail handling and data
management solutions company, on Thursday announced its formal entry into India
The Swiss company said it had received the
Department of Posts (DoP) approval to market its postal franking machines in India and was approaching State Governments,
including Maharashtra, Gujarat , Uttar Pradesh,
Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Amit Mittal, Executive Director, Frama India , said that since the company was
recognised by the DoP as a manufacturer, supplier and maintainer of postal
franking solutions, the Frama systems would provide customers easy access to India
Franking machines automatically stamp
letters or packages and compute the total charges. Mittal said the company was
targeting all corporate organisations and offices that need to send out bulk mails.
He said Frama was also looking at bringing
State Governments on board for their tax meters, which would help automate the
revenue collection process.
Mittal said that the tax meter machines
would electronically generate and verify stamp papers, while also maintaining a
complete audit trail. This is expected to cut the time required for generating
stamp papers.
