ALLAHABAD: While postal department is pushing for modernisation of its services, its revenue has also increased. Allahabad postal region earned revenue of more than one billion rupees in the last financial year. Other than transmission of letters and selling postage stamps, the department also provides services like banking, insurance and other financial services.

Out of this, postal operations account for Rs 41 crore and banking services accounts for Rs 77.92 crore, while in the last financial year their share was Rs 39.54 crore and Rs 68.05 crore respectively. Yadav said after implementation of core banking and other modernisation initiatives, the department will generate more revenue.

If this is the situation while modernization succeeds in the department, what is the need to go for privatization / corporation ?
