West Bengal: The Indian matrimony website, Bharatmatrimony.com has tied up with the Postal Department in West Bengal, for a retail initiative. As per the tie-up agreement, registration and membership services of the website will be made available through select post offices across the West Bengal Postal Circle, including Sikkim and the Andamans. The purchase of Bharatmatrimony.com membership scratch card would become easier with the "pay at post office" service. Even the renewal of existing services would become a four-step process. A total of 47 post offices in the West Bengal Postal Circle - including one each in the Andamans and Sikkim - will offer the service. The idea behind the initiative is to offer a wider range of services to customers by the Postal Department. In case of Bharatmatrimony, the initiative is a step towards "filling the gaps in the matrimonial requirements of Indians based in urban or rural or international boundaries." The initiative has already been rolled out elsewhere in the country. Currently, two membership packages - Classic and Classic Super - of three, six and nine-month duration each would be on offer. They range from Rs 1,390 for a three-month Classic card to Rs 4,390 for a nine-month Classic super card. Uday Zokarkar, Business Head of Bharatmatrimony.com informed that for every card sold, irrespective of the denomination, Bharatmatrimony.com would be paying the postal administration 140.
