A username could one day suffice as your address

New Delhi: The government is working on a UPI-style unique username-based digital addressing system that would enable people to send and receive parcels, letters, food deliveries and other services without sharing a conventional physical address.

India Post is leading the ambitious project to establish a standardised, interoperable geocoded addressing system that will allow every individual in any part of the country, be it on the ills, remote or rural areas, to have an address recognised and mapped accurately with a unique username, people aware of the development said.
