India Post
The Department of Posts (DoP), trading as India Post, is a
government-operated postal system in India, which is a India Post
subsidiary of the Ministry of Communications. Generally called भारतीय डाक
"the post office" in India, it is the most widely distributed postal
system in the world. Founded in 1854 by Lord Dalhousie who
laid the foundation for the modern Indian postal service.
Dalhousie introduced uniform postage rates (universal service) &
passed the India Post office act 1854 which significantly
improved upon Lord William Bentinck's 1837 act which had
introduced Post offices in India. It created the position Director Department overview

History
A number of acts were enacted during the British Raj to expand and regulate Posts and Telegraphs
service:
The Government Savings Bank Act 1873 (5 of 1873), passed by the legislature 28 January
1873, was enacted in 1881. On 1 April 1882, Post Office Savings Banks opened throughout
India (except in the Bombay Presidency). In Madras Presidency, it was limited; in the
Bengal Presidency, no POSBs were established in Calcutta or Howrah.
Postal life insurance began on 1 February 1884 as a welfare measure for the employees of
the Posts & Telegraphs Department as Government of India dispatch No. 299 dated 18
October 1882 to the Secretary of State.
Telegraph Act, 1885 (Indian Telegraph Act)
The Indian Post Office Act 1898 (6 of 1898), passed by the legislature on 22 March 1898,
became effective on 1 July 1898 regulating postal service. It was preceded by Act III of
1882 and Act XVI of 1896.
The Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act 1933 (17 of 1933)
The world's first official airmail flight took place in India on 18 February 1911, a journey of 18
kilometres (11 mi) lasting 27 minutes. Henri Pequet, a French pilot, carried about 15 kilograms (33 lb) of
mail (approximately 6,000 letters and cards) across the Ganges from Allahabad to Naini; included in the
airmail was a letter to King George V of the United Kingdom.[12] India Post inaugurated a floating post
office in August 2011 at Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir.[13] Telegraphs Departments merged
Telegraphy and telephony made their appearance as part of the in 1914, dividing again on 1
postal service before becoming separate departments. The Posts and January 1985.
After independence in 1947
Since India became independent in 1947, the postal service
continues to function on a nationwide basis, providing a variety of
services. The structure of the organization has the directorate at its
apex; below it are circle offices, regional offices, the
superintendent's offices, head post offices, sub-post offices and
Indian postal service Educational
branch offices. In April 1959, the Indian Postal Department adopted
card, late 19th or early 20th
the motto "Service before help"; it revised its logo in September century
2008.[14]
Postage-stamp history
Post-independence stamps
India attained independence on 15 August 1947. Thereafter, the
Indian Posts and Telegraph Department embarked on a broad-
based policy for the issuance of stamps. On 21 November 1947
the first new stamp was issued by independent India. It depicts
the Indian flag with the patriots' slogan, Jai Hind ("long live
India"), at the top right-hand corner. The stamp was valued at
three and one-half annas. A memorial to Mahatma Gandhi was
issued 15 August 1948 on the first anniversary of independence.
One year later a definitive series appeared, depicting India's broad
cultural heritage (primarily Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Sikh and Brown-and-pink stamp depicting a
Jain temples, sculptures, monuments and fortresses). A temple
subsequent issue commemorated the beginning of the Republic of
India on 26 January 1950. Definitives included a technology-and-development theme in 1955, a series
depicting a map of India in 1957 (denominated in naya paisa—decimal currency) and a 1965 series with
a wide variety of images. The old inscription "India Postage" was replaced in 1962 with "भारत
INDIA",
although three stamps (issued from December 1962 to January 1963) carried the earlier inscription.[19]
India has printed stamps and postal stationery for other countries, mostly neighbours. Countries which
have had stamps printed in India include Burma (before independence), Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan,
Portugal and Ethiopia.[20] The country has issued definitive and commemorative stamps. Six definitive
series on India's heritage and progress in a number of fields have been issued. The seventh series, with a
theme of science and technology, began in 1986. Between independence and 1983, 770 stamps were
issued.

PIN
The Postal Index Number (PIN, or sometimes redundantly PIN
code) is a six-digit postal code. PIN system was made by Shriram
Bhikaji Velankar when he was at service in Kolkata. It was
introduced on 15 August 1972 by former Prime Minister Indira
Gandhi. There are nine postal zones in the country; the first eight
are geographical regions, and the ninth is reserved for the Army
Postal Service (APS).

Project Arrow
Project Arrow was launched in April 2008.[14] The project plans to upgrade post offices in urban and
rural areas, improving service and appearance into a vibrant and responsive organization and to make a
visible and positive difference.The project aims to create an effective, friendly environment for staff and
customers, providing secure IT services and improving mail delivery, remittances (electronic and
manual) and postal-savings plans. Core areas for improvement are branding, information technology,
human resources and infrastructure. The project to improve service has been implemented in more than
23,500 post offices, and 'Look & Feel ' improvements have been made in 2,940 post offices. The
Department of Posts received the Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Public Administration during
2008–09 for "Project Arrow – Transforming India Post" on 21 April 2010.[25]
Multipurpose counter machines with computers were introduced in post offices in 1991 to improve
customer service and increase staff productivity. 25,000 departmental post offices out of 25,464 were
computerized between as of 2011–2012. In 2012, a plan costing ₹1,877.2 crore (US$260 million) was
formulated to computerize rural post offices.[26]
Services
Philately
The first philatelic Society in India was founded in Calcutta on 6 March 1897 to service postage-stamp
collections. Function include design, printing and distribution of special or commemorative postage
stamps, definitive postage stamps and items of postal stationery, promotion of philately, conduct of
philatelic examinations at the national level, participation in international exhibitions and monitoring
exhibitions at the state, regional and district levels and maintenance of the National Philatelic Museum.
Philatelic bureaus were established in head post offices located at circle headquarters and at district-
capital head post offices (as necessary). There are 68 philately bureaus and 1111 philatelic counters,
including all head post offices (Mukhya Dak Ghars) in the country as of 31 March 2011.[27]:44 A
domestic philatelic deposit-account system was introduced on 1 August 1965 at all philatelic bureaus.
Customers are given priority in purchasing commemorative or special-issue stamps, first-day covers and
information sheets soon after their issue by opening a deposit account at any philatelic bureau. The
number of philately deposit-accountholders grew from 23,905 in 1999–2000 to 168,282 in 2006–2007
and 183,202 in 2008–2009. Four philatelic Bureaus—the Bombay, Madras, Calcutta and Parliament
Street, New Delhi GPOs are authorized to sell United Nations stamps. A quarterly philatelic magazine,
Philapost, was launched in 2008.
The Department of Post has also developed software for philatelic inventory management, known as
"Philsim". It is used for all activities relating to philately, including forecasting, indenting, invoicing,
monitoring supply and demand and recording sales and revenue for commemorative stamps and other
philatelic products at philately bureaus and counters (and definitive stamps and stationery at circle stamp
depots and head post offices).
The National Philatelic Museum of India was inaugurated on 6 July 1968 in New Delhi. It had its
beginnings at a meeting of the Philatelic Advisory Committee on 18 September 1962. Besides a large
collection of India Postage stamps designed, printed and issued, it has a large collection of Indian states
(confederate and feudatory), early essays, proofs and colour trials, a collection of Indian stamps used
abroad, early Indian postcards, postal stationery and thematic collections. The museum was renovated in
2009 with more exhibits, a philatelic bureau and postal objects (such as Victorian post boxes). The
Department of Posts inaugurated the National Philatelic Museum on 11 July 2011. It exhibits rare postage
stamps from around the world and provides a venue for philatelists to exhibit their collections.
Policies for government employees include Santhosh (endowment assurance), Suraksha (whole-life
assurance), Suvidha (convertible whole-life assurance), Sumangal (anticipated endowment policy) and
Yugal Suraksha (joint life endowment assurance).[29] India Post started Rural Postal Life Insurance
(RPLI) for rural public in 1995. RPLI include Gram Santosh (endowment assurance), Gram Suraksha
(whole-life assurance), Gram Suvidha (convertible whole-life assurance), Gram Sumangal (anticipated
endowment assurance) and Gram Priya.
Postal savings
The post office offers a number of savings plans, including Recurring Deposit Account, Sukanya
Samriddhi Account (SSA), National Savings Certificates (NSC), Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP), the Public
Provident Fund,[30] savings-bank accounts,[30] monthly-income plans,[30] senior-citizens' savings
plans[30] and time-deposit accounts.[30]
Banking
In 2013 it was revealed that the Indian postal service had formulated plans to enter the banking industry
after RBI guidelines for the issuance of new banking licenses were released. [31] Eventually they are
planning to open a Post Bank of India, an independent banking service.[32]
As of 29 February 2016, 18,231 post offices are utilizing Core Banking Solutions (CBS) in 9583 Post
Offices.[33] ATMs are installed at 576 Post office locations and Debit Cards issued to Post Office Savings
Bank customers.[34] Core Insurance Solution (CIS) for Postal Life Insurance (PLI) is rolled out in 808
Head Post Offices and corresponding 24000+Sub Post Offices. In September 2017, it was announced that
by 2018 all of the 1.55 lakh post offices, every postman, and grameen dak sevak will accept all payment
options that the India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) plans to provide. On 1 September 2018 the India Post
Payments Bank was inaugurated by prime minister narendra modi.[35]
Data collection Implementation (MoSPI) and the
A collaboration between the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Department of Posts has enabled the
computation of consumer-price indices for rural areas. These
statistics were previously unobtainable, due to problems of
remoteness and scale. The agreement authorises the postal service
to collect data on prices paid for selected consumer goods. In
February 2011, MoSPI published its first Consumer Price Index
(CPI) and All-India Consumer Price Index. The information has
since been published monthly, based on data available from 1,181
villages across the country.[25]
E-Commerce delivery
The boom in e-commerce and the surging number of cash-on-delivery consignments has led India Post to
partner with major e-commerce portals for delivering pre-paid as well as Cash On Delivery (COD)
parcels.[36][37] According to the Minister for Communications and Information Technology, Ravi
Shankar Prasad, revenue of India Post from such deliveries would go up to ₹15 billion (US$210 million)
in the year 2015-16.[37]

The Post Office Act XVII of 1837 provided that the Governor-General of India in Council had
the exclusive right of conveying letters by post for hire within the territories of the East India
Company. The mails were available to certain officials without charge, which became a
controversial privilege as the years passed. On this basis the Indian Post Office was established on
1 October 1837.[7]
The urgent European mails were carried overland via Egypt at the isthmus of Suez. This route,
pioneered by Thomas Waghorn,[8] linked the Red Sea with the Mediterranean, and thence by
steamer via Marseilles, Brindisi or Trieste to
European destinations. The Suez Canal did not open until much later (17 November 1869). The
time in transit for letters using the Overland Mail[9] route was dramatically reduced. Waghorn's
route reduced the journey from 16,000 miles via the Cape of Good Hope to 6,000 miles; and
reduced the time in transit from three months to between 35 and 45 days.
New regulations removed the special postal privileges which had been enjoyed by officials of the
East India Company. Stamps for official use were prepared and carefully accounted for to combat
the abuse of privileges by officials. In 1854 Spain had printed special stamps for official
communications, but in 1866 India was the first country to adopt the simple expedient of
overprinting 'Service' on postage stamps and 'Service Postage' on revenue stamps. This innovation
became widely adopted by other countries in later years.[16][17]
Shortages developed, so these stamps also had to be
improvised. Some of the "Service Postage" overprinted
rarities of this year resulted from the sudden changes in
postal regulations. New designs for the 4 annas and "6
annas 8 pies" stamps were issued in 1866. Nevertheless,
there was a shortage of stamps to meet the new rates.
Provisional[19] six annas stamps were improvised by cutting
the tops and bottoms from a current Foreign Bill revenue
stamp, and overprinting "POSTAGE".
Both Faridkot and Jind, as feudatory states, issued their own stamps before they joined the Postal
Convention. Faridkot joined on 1 January 1887. Jind joined in July 1885; its stamps from the
feudatory period became invalid for postage, but they continued to be used for revenue purposes.
The first pictorial stamps appeared in 1931. The set of six, showing
the fortress of Purana Qila, Delhi and government edifices, was
issued to mark the
government's move from Calcutta to New Delhi. Another pictorial set, also showing buildings,
commemorated George V's Silver Jubilee in 1935.
The stamps issued in 1937 depicted various forms of mail transports, with King George VI's effigy
appearing on the higher values. A new issue in 1941, constrained by the austerity of World War II,
consisted of rather plain designs using minimal amounts of ink and paper. As Indian Post Offices
annually required some billions of stamps for postage, as a measure of economy the large pictorial
stamps were immediately withdrawn and smaller stamps were issued. Even this did not ease the
paper situation and it was thought desirable to reduce the size even more.
A victory issue in 1946 was followed in November 1947 by a first Dominion issue, whose three
stamps were the first to depict the Ashoka Pillar and the new flag of India (the third showed an
aeroplane).
Postage stamps were generally issued separately from the revenue stamps. However in 1906, the
set of King Edward VII stamps were issued in two values, half anna and one anna with the caption
"INDIA POSTAGE & REVENUE". The George V Series (1911 to 1933) added two more values,
two annas and four annas to the Postage & Revenue stamps. These dual-purpose issues were an
exception and generally the two types were issued separately.
India Security Press
From 1 January 1926 all printing and overprinting of India'
postage stamps was conducted at India Security Press,
Nasik. The possibility of printing postage stamps and other
security items in India had been enquired into before the
First World War but could not be pursued at that time. In
1922, the feasibility of this issue was explored in England
by Lt Col C.H. Willis, C.I.E., then master of the Bombay
Mint, and Mr
F.D. Ascoti, I.C.S., Controller ofThe
Printing, Stationery

Stamps. Their favourable report, followed by a successful
demonstration of production techniques in Delhi in 1923,
led to the decision of the Government to establish a security
press at Nashik. The responsibility of setting up the Press
was entrusted to none other than the London firm of
Thomas De La Rue which already had a six-decade
long
association with Indian stamps. The construction began in 1924 at an original estimate of Rs 27½
lakhs and was completed in 1925 with additional costs of Rs 67 and 1/400,000.[15]
The printing of stamps at Nasik began in 1925. The first stamps produced were the definitive
series of George V, printed using typography from the same plates used earlier in England by De
La Rue, which were now transferred to India. The watermark was changed by the Press to multiple
stars. Lithography was now re-introduced and the first stamps printed with this technique were the
first Air Mail series of 1929. The Security Press continued to use typography for most stamps,
reserving the lithographic process for the most important commemorative issues, the next being
the 1931 series commemorating the inauguration of New Delhi as the seat of government in 1931.
The one rupee stamp shows the Secretariat and Dominion Columns. This practice continued after
independence. The first definitive series to be issued was the misnamed "Archaeological" series of
16 values; the top four values were produced by lithography and the remaining values by
typography.
The new technique of photogravure printing was installed in 1952. The October 1952 series of six
values on the theme of Saints and Poets was the first to be so produced. However, these were not
the first photogravure stamps of India, having been preceded by the first Gandhi series of 1948,
which were printed by Courvoisier of Geneva using the photogravure technique. Since then,
photogravure has been used to produce all Indian stamps; typography and lithography being
reserved for service labels only.[23]
Independent India
The First Stamp of Independent India was issued on 21
November 1947. It depicts the Indian Flag with the patriots'
slogan, Jai Hind (Long Live India), on the top right hand
corner. It was valued at three and one-half annas.
A memorial to Mahatma Gandhi was issued 15 August 1948
on the first anniversary of Independence. Exactly one year
later a definitive series appeared, depicting India's broad
cultural heritage, mostly Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Sikh
and Jain temples, sculptures, monuments and fortresses.[24]
A subsequent issue commemorated the inauguration of the
Republic of India on 26 January 1950.
Definitives included a technology and development theme
The Rs 10 stamp showing , released 15 August 1948
in 1955, a series all showing the map of India in 1957,
denominated in naye paisa (decimal currency), and a series
with a broad variety of images in 1965.
The old inscription of "INDIA POSTAGE" was replaced in
1962 with "भारत INDIA", though three stamps issued
between December 1962/January 1963 carried the earlier
inscription.[15]

India has been divided into 22 postal circles, each circle headed by a Chief Postmaster General.
Each Circle is further divided into Regions comprising field units, called Divisions, headed by a
Postmaster General, and further divided into units headed by SSPOs & SPOs and Sub Divisions
headed by ASPs and IPS. Other functional units like Circle Stamp Depots, Postal Stores Depots
and Mail Motor Service exist in various Circles and Regions. Besides the 22 circles, there is a
special Base Circle to provide the postal services for the Armed Forces of India. The Base Circle
is headed by an Additional Director General, Army Postal Service holding the rank of a Major
General.
Gandhi, Nehru and other historic personalities continued to appear on the postal issues coming
from the country since Independence, with almost half a century seeing the Gandhi definitives of
denominations most frequently used in the era concerned, becoming synonymous with a postage
stamp to the Indian people of that respective time period[citation needed]. New themes are now
finding their place on Indian postage stamps, with some stamps issued
jointly with postal agencies of other countries, renewable energy sources, the local flora and fauna
and even the special annual issues wishing season's greetings. On 9 March 2011 India Post
launched an online e-post office. The portal provides electronic money orders, instant money
orders, stamps for collectors, postal information, tracking of express and international shipments,
PIN code search and registration of feedback and complaints online.[27]
The National Philatelic Museum of India was inaugurated on 6 July 1968 in New Delhi. It had its
beginning at a meeting of the Philatelic Advisory Committee on 18 September 1962. Besides the
large collection of India Postage stamps designed, printed and issued, it has a large collection of
Indian states, both confederate and feudatory, early essays, proofs and colour trials, a collection of
Indian stamps "used abroad" and as well as early Indian postcards,
postal stationery and thematic collections.[15]
The museum was extensively renovated in 2009. It now includes more exhibits, a philatelic bureau
and other postal objects such as beautiful Victorian post boxes.[29]
An international philatelic exhibition was held from 12—18 February 2011, on the centenary of
India's first official air mail. For the occasion of INDIPEX 2011 India Post brought out a special
stamp on Gandhi Ji to commemorate the event. It is printed on "khadi", the handspun cotton
material that Gandhi Ji held out as the symbol of self-determination and self-reliance. The
Presentation Pack was released by Pratibha Patil, the President of India on Saturday 12 February
2011 at INDIPEX 2011, the World Philatelic Exhibition held in New Delhi, the capital of India.[30]
