GDS BPM Daily Routine: Step-by-Step Guide to Use DARPAN 2.0 App (Avoid “Day End” Errors)
- Device: Android Mobile / Samsung Tab
- App: DARPAN 2.0 (Unified)
- Key Task: Bag Opening, Cash Management, Day End
- Warning: Never do “Day End” before IPPB Sync
Step 1: Morning Routine (Day Begin)
As a Branch Postmaster (BPM), your day starts at the app login screen.
The Process:
1. Login: Enter Employee ID and Password (or Biometric).
2. Day Begin: Click the “Day Begin” icon. The system will fetch the date from the server.
3. Cash Check: Ensure the “Opening Balance” matches exactly with the physical cash in your safe.
Step 2: Mail Operations (Bagging)
This is where most errors happen. Follow this order strictly:
| Action | Procedure |
|---|---|
| Bag Receive | Go to ‘Bagging’ > ‘Bag Open’. Scan the Barcode of the bag received from Account Office (AO). |
| Article Tally | The app will show list of Registered/Speed Post. Scan each article to “Receive” them. |
| Delivery | Go to ‘Delivery’ Module. Select article. Take Digital Signature of customer on screen. Mark as ‘Delivered’. |
Step 3: Financial Transactions (CBS/PLI)
For SB/RD Deposit:
• Enter Account Number -> Fetch Name -> Enter Amount -> Initiate Transaction.
• Important: If the transaction is >₹50,000, PAN is mandatory.
• IPPB Data: If you did any IPPB transaction, do not forget to click “Data Sync” in the IPPB Micro-ATM app before closing the main DARPAN app.
Step 4: Evening Routine (The Critical Part)
Before you leave the BO, you must generate the reports.
⚠️ Bag Dispatch Rule
You cannot do “Day End” if you have pending articles.
1. Go to Bagging > Bag Dispatch.
2. Scan all articles you are sending back (booking/returns).
3. Close the Bag (Enter Bag ID).
4. Only then proceed to “Day End”.
Step 5: BODA & Wallet Request
Wallet Management: If you have excess cash (> Liability Limit), use the “Cash Remittance” option to send cash to AO.
Final Step: Click “Generate BODA” (Branch Office Daily Account). Print the slip if you have a thermal printer, or note down the Transaction ID in your BO Journal.
