State-run telecom firm BSNL started corporate e-mail service for Re 1 per day in partnership with Jaipur-based firm Data Infosys. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) in a statement said that it has started offering its customers “e-mail services to ensure privacy and security of their data”.

BSNL customers will be able to avail the service linked to their websites for a yearly fee of Rs 365 per e-mail ID with 1GB storage and Rs 999 per e-mail ID with 10-gigabyte storage. “The payment will have to be made once in a year. The effective price of the service starts for Re 1 per day with 1 GB storage. For usage beyond 10 GB, customers can buy extra 5 GB storage for an annual payment of Rs 500,” Data Infosys CEO

All enterprise e-mail accounts will come with security tools and dual authentication that will make them hacker-free e-mail accounts, the statement said. The state-run firm highlighted “privacy” as key to its e-mail service. “Our e-mail offering is very secured and e-mails are not scanned like other e-mail hosting players. E-mail solution does not allow anyone including e-mail administrator to monitor/look into any e-mail account. Entire e-mail solution is hosted on BSNL Network, giving lawful rights and access speed at its best,” BSNL Director for Enterprise Business NK Mehta said. 

The e-mail service will also have a mobile app for access to cellphones.
