Post Office Update: Post Office told what will change and what will not from September 1..

What is the first image that comes to mind when we hear the name of a post office? Of course, that red letter box. It was not just a box to put letters in; it was a living part of our childhood memories. After putting the letter in that box, a beautiful journey of waiting would begin - when will the postman come and bring the reply? Even though today is the era of email and WhatsApp, the warmth of the memories associated with that red box remains in the hearts.

But is the journey of that red letter box going to end now? Ever since India Post announced that from September 1, the registered post service will now be merged with the speed post, people have been confused that now customers will only get the facility of speed post to send parcels. The registered service will be stopped. To clear this confusion, India Post itself has answered it. Know the truth.

Keep sending letters, we are here.
India Post has made two posts on social media to tell you that the red letter box of your memories is not going anywhere. On X, India Post wrote, 'I am still here and will always be here! India Post is changing with time, but some things will always remain the same. We have delivered love, news, and stories to generations... and you know what? Our red letter boxes are not going anywhere. They are a symbol of connection, memories, and those special moments. Yesterday, today, and always. Keep sending handwritten letters - we are here for you.'

What will change and what will not after the upgrade

In the second post, the post office wrote that 'Registered Post is not being discontinued. India Post is making this service even better by merging it with Speed Post. Understand how this will affect you.

What will remain the same as before

Delivery will be made to the person for whom the letter is intended.

You will get a delivery receipt, and there will be a real-time tracking facility.

Legal recognition and acknowledgement of receipt will remain valid as before.

What has become better now

All the facilities mentioned above will be available, but now even faster - with the reliable and fast delivery of Speed Post.

Now send registered post at the speed of Speed Post - no compromise on reliability, just work will be done even faster.

Difference between Registered Post and Speed Post

Registered post is also called 'registered post'. Its focus is to deliver your letter or parcel to the right person safely and keep a solid proof of it. It reaches only the person for whom it is sent. Talking about Speed Post, as is clear from its name, its job is to deliver your parcel or letter very fast. This is the premium and express service of India Post. Anyone can collect the post at the address written in this post.
