What is POD? 

POD (Proof Of Delivery) is a significant part of the delivery process as it establishes that the package has been delivered to the customer. Proof of delivery acts like a receipt that proves that the delivery has been made.


Type of POD

There are 2 types of PODs

1.  A signature of the customer - Where the customer is requested to sign on a digital gadget or on paper. 
2.  OTP verified Delivery - Where a customer receives an OTP during the delivery on his mobile number.


OTP-verified delivery cannot be fake as the product is not handed over to the customer until the OTP has been entered by the delivery person on his gadget.
