Qatar Post partnered with India Post to launch the PosTransfer remittance service on August 15, 2026, enabling customers in Qatar to transfer money directly to UPI-enabled accounts in India. The service operates through Qatar Post outlets and uses the recipient’s UPI ID. The initiative involves the Universal Postal Union’s Interconnection Platform and NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL). Transactions can range from QAR 10 to QAR 4,000, with a maximum equivalent of ₹1 lakh per transaction and a flat service fee of QAR 15. The service creates a digital remittance corridor for the Indian diaspora in Qatar.
