More than information, Hamraaz also reduced the gap in the communications between the soldiers by working as a
messaging tool
. With this,
information can be passed promptly
to junior commissioned officers and other personnel. However, note that this app is
solely for the military and not civilians.
What can you do with the app?
Hamraaz is an Android-based mobile app designed by the Indian government. As mentioned, its primary role is to help military members
access information
about salary and other government services with ease. With it, they can access their payslip from the convenience of their phones. The
payslip is in
format
. However, to do so, users must provide their
payslip passwords
. The password is usually the
four digits of the user's PAN
card alongside the
month and date of their birth.
More than accessing a copy of the payslip, the app allows users to
download the PDF
to their device's storage. However, it
requires another password
, which is the
four digits of the PAN card
plus the
last four digits of the soldier's enrollment date
. Unlike other password-protected services, the passwords for your payslip should always be capitalized. Otherwise, the app will not accept it.
Furthermore, Hamraaz also comes with an
instant messaging tool
, bridging the gap between the high-ranking officials and the junior commissioned officers and other personnel. Through this function, information can be passed down easily. Users can even get
individual pop-up messages
, More than that, serving Jawans can also get
details about their postings
and even
promotions
. Finally, with the latest update, users can now access other services, including online grievances management and change of AFPP fund subscription,
How can users get started with the app?
Downloading the app is easy since it follows the same process as other Android apps. Users need only to click the Download button and install it on their device. However, it requires
Android 5.0 Lollipop and above
to use it. Once done, you can proceed with the signup process. As mentioned, it requires your
Aadhaar card number
, which the system will have to verify with the Army database over the National Information Centre cloud.
You will then receive a
one-time password (OTP)
on your registered mobile number as part of the verification process. This means you need to have your latest mobile number linked to your Aadhaar card number. Without doing so, you cannot enable the services of the Hamraaz app. After that, you will also need to enter
additional credentials
as part of the application. Once done, you are good to go. Note, however, that the app suffers from
occasional lags and bug issues.
Handy app for Jawans
Overall, Hamraaz is an excellent app if you are a serving military member of India. It offers a
fast, convenient, and easy way to disseminate information
and other military services. With it, you can access information not only about your salary but your postings, as well. Note, however, that the app is far from perfect. There are bugs that need fixing. Nevertheless, it is a
useful app for members of the Indian army.
