About

India Post is an initiative of the Government of India which is under the Ministry of Communication. It was first established in 1870 under the British Raj with the first Post Office in Allahabad and continued well beyond the independence of India.  Since then, it has spread out to cover all parts of India and has diverse features and rules governing the trading of posts and parcels which play to the benefit of all involved including features such as compensation of demurrage, loss of consignment, delayed deliveries and more.

The organisation is involved in delivering mails, remitting money by money orders, accepting deposits under Small Savings Schemes, providing life insurance cover under Postal Life Insurance (PLI) and Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI) and providing retail services like bill collection, the sale of forms, etc. It boasts an impressive 155,015 post offices all over India which are governed by 23 Postal Regions. It is truly an impressive system which is well regulated and well spread all over the country.

Presence

India Post is the most far-reaching postal service all across the country of India. And why should it not be? It’s a Government initiative after all. There is no corner or village of India which is not reachable by them. Even in the most remote villages of India, the organisation has a reputation for slow but sure delivery which at times call for the postman to fulfil his duty on a bicycle or even on foot. As mentioned before, the government enterprise boasts an impressive 155,015 post offices scattered across the face of India which is governed by 23 Regional Postal Offices. This truly makes them one of the farthest-reaching courier services in India.

Even outside of India, the organisation serves international consignments as well by a direct presence, or by collaborations with the recipient country whenever and wherever required. It has one impressive reach which is offered at rates as cheap as dirt itself.

Pricing

India Post offers some very cheap prices for the impressive services which they offer. All they ask for in return is that you simply use postage stamps of a predetermined instead of paying the money up front. However, these services do come at the cost of speed. The prices as offered by them are as follows. Note that you have to purchase Postage Stamps of the appropriate value for the appropriate distance. Otherwise, your post will get rejected.
