The Department of Posts, trading as India Post, is a government-operated postal system in India; it is generally referred to within India as "the post office". As of 31 March 2011, the Indian Postal Service had 1,54,866 post offices, of which 1,39,040 (89.78 percent) were in rural areas and 15,826 (10.22 percent) in urban areas. It had 25,464 departmental Post Offices and 1,29,402 Extra-Departmental Branch Post Offices. At the time of independence, there were 23,344 post offices, primarily in urban areas. The network has registered a sixfold growth since independence, with the expansion's focus primarily in rural areas. On average, a post office serves an area of 21.23 square kilometres (8.20 sq mi) and a population of 7,114; it is the most widely distributed postal system in the world. The large number is a result of a tradition of disparate postal systems, which were unified in the Indian Union after independence. Because of this far-flung reach and its presence in remote areas, the Indian postal service is also involved in other services (such as small-savings banking and financial services). The postal service is under the Department of Posts, which is part of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of the Government of India. The apex body of the department is the Postal Service Board, consisting of a chair and six members. The six board members govern personnel, operations, technology, postal life insurance, human-resource development (HRD) and planning. The joint secretary and financial adviser is also a permanent invitee. India has been divided into 22 postal circles, each circle headed by a chief postmaster general. Each circle is divided into regions, headed by a postmaster general and comprising field units known as divisions (headed by SSPOs and SPOs). These divisions are further divided into subdivisions, headed by ASPs and IPOs. Other functional units (such as circle stamp depots, postal store depots and mail motor service) may exist in the circles and regions. In addition to the 22 circles, there is a base circle to provide postal services to the Armed Forces of India. The base circle is headed by a Director General, Army Postal Service (with a rank of major general). The highest post office in the world is in Hikkim, Himachal Pradesh, India at a height of 15,500 ft (4,700 m) (postal code 172114).

Here from my declutter posts? Here's everything you need to know.7d ago# 📌 Seller Information & Shipping Policy I’ve shipped 20+ orders through Reddit so far. Buyer feedback is available in the review thread. 📦 **Shipping** 1️⃣ Preferred Courier: India Post (Speed Post) I prefer India Post over Shiprocket. Why? Shiprocket estimates often change once the full delivery address is entered, so the final shipping cost may differ from the initial quote. If you prefer Shiprocket and can book the shipment yourself, I’m happy to pack the product and attach your label. In rare cases, I may ship through Shiprocket myself if necessary. 2️⃣ Shipping Cost & Delivery Time Shipping typically costs ₹70–₹100 via Speed Post Estimat... Update: House of Laila x Reddit. Dropping my prices worked. You actually blew up my business (and my account!) 🥹📦8d agoHi everyone! I’m the founder of the anti-tarnish jewelry brand (House of Laila) that posted here a few days ago. Unable to link the post but it reached 50k views. First of all, THANK YOU. I think my decision to stop running ads and pass those savings directly to you really resonated. Between the new price markdowns and the support from this sub, House of Laila officially blew up. The love was so unimaginable that my original account actually got flagged/banned because I was trying to reply to every single one of your DMs and comments with the link! Lesson learned: Reddit’s spam filters don't like it when I'm that excited to talk to you all. 😂 I’m posting from this accoun...

Gamesir Package shows Exception Return item from customs on Track12315d agoI ordered Cyclone 2 from gamesir online store for about **$50 (\~₹4600)** and it was shipped from **China to India**. According to the tracking (Track123), the latest update says: **“Exception – Return item from customs (OTB)”** Timeline shows: * Receive item from customer * Receive item at office of exchange (Guangzhou) * Send item to customs * Insert item into bag * **Return item from customs (OTB)** I'm not sure what **OTB** means or if this means the parcel is being sent back to the seller. Has anyone in India experienced this before with China shipments? Is this normal or does it mean the package got rejected by customs? Attaching screenshots of the order and track... Person not returning my package16d agoI am from Bengaluru and I ordered an item for cosplay from an instagram seller. The postal service was india post. The postman delivered it to some other house despite my address and phone number on the package. I went to the post office and they didn't give a ****. They gave me the phone number of the person who took the package and signed. They didn't even care to send the postman to retrieve the package. It was an expensive cosplay prop and most people would have no use for it so I was hoping the one who took it would return it. I called the number and they blocked me. Then I called from another number and someone picked up and once I asked about my parcel they hung up and bloc... Avoid ICICI, Rupay and India Post - My Chargeback Saga16d agoI tried to be a good "Digital India" citizen, but combining ICICI Bank, RuPay, and the India Post online portal has been a total fever dream. About 45 days ago, I tried to book a domestic speed post parcel on the India Post website using my Coral RuPay credit card via UPI. The money was deducted instantly, but the booking never got confirmed. No tracking ID, no receipt, nothing. In 2026, a "Failed" transaction like this is supposed to auto-refund in T+5 days. It's been over 6 weeks. India Post is a total black hole-no one to talk to, no way to track a failed booking. But the real joke is ICICI Bank. After weeks of me chasing them, their Principal Nodal Officer (PN... This is pissing me off. (India Post to Royal Mail)21d agoMy package KEEPS updating to just "Assigned to load plan." What the **** is the hold-up? I even tracked the flight numbers every time, and each time they say my parcel which \*should\* be on that **** plane has landed at Heathrow. So I check Royal Mail - they tell me no more info is available til it arrives in the UK. So surely my **** was \*not\* on the plane 😭 The sender told me it's an issue with the tracking server but I don't think that's correct. Why is my package not leaving Mumbai? It cleared customs last week. This is kind of a rant, but also if anyone knows anything or has any similar experiences like this that can help, I'd be grateful. Thanks.

Cheapest shipping company or logistic platform from India to Europe? DDP24d agoAramex and DHL was costing 8k for a 1kg small parcel. Fedex was only 4k.

Customs Duty for books shipped from USA28d agoI ordered a book from the Amazon USA website (cost $54.99). Just received it today via India post but the postman demanded \~INR 1900 as duty (assessment photo attached). Is this real or a scam? As far as I can figure out via searches, the customers duty is 5% and there is no IGST applicable! Thanks in advance!! What should I do now?33d agoI have to receive an important parcel from Amrister to Chennai via India Post. 3 days ago the parcel reached at New Delhi RS TMO. After that there are no updates and its still stuck there. When I called that post office no one is picking up the call. Then I noticed something like the ratings are just 1.1 and many people ranted abt their worst experience there 😭😭😭. I felt hopeless Someone help me to contact that Post Office TIA Package ordered from USA, says destination is Canada40d agoThis package was ordered through Amazon. On amazon it says it was delivered on the 8th but this is what United Parcel Tracking says. Does this mean it's marked delivered at every handoff? Yesterday it said it was delivered on the 9th at 5 past midnight. Now it says the 10th. It also says the destination is Canada not the USA so I'm just confusion. Any insight is appreciated! Charged ₹3,720 customs on used personal clothes from UK – calculation doesn’t make sense. Need advice.40d agoHi everyone, I recently received a parcel from the UK to India via India Post. The parcel only contained my personal used clothes and shoes — no new items — and the declared value was within the permissible limit. However, at the time of delivery, I was charged ₹3,720 as customs duty. The breakdown mentioned: * Customs duty: ₹1,320 * GST: ₹2,400 What confuses me is how GST can be higher than the actual customs duty. I don’t understand the calculation or the valuation basis used. On top of that, the receipt given by the delivery personnel has double handwriting entries, which raises concerns about authenticity and transparency. Has anyone faced something similar? Is this ...
