Speed Post Stamp

Answer 1

1. The service of ‘Speed Post’ was started in 1986.
2. Many people take advantage of this service, to the tune of more than 3 crore letters and parcels being delivered every month.
3. The postal department sends a message of successful delivery to the mobile phone of the sender. This facility has made the speed post service more reliable.
4. In addition, the postal department now offers courier services like delivery of passports, business parcels, cash-on-delivery, logistics post, and air freight.
5. Earlier, if anyone wanted to post letters or gift articles on a larger scale, tasks like putting the letters in envelopes or packaging the gift articles had to be done personally by the sender. Now the post office offers the packaging service at an extra charge. This has increased the business of the postal department.
6. There are 1,55,000 post offices offering services such as paying bills, sending festive greeting cards, and similar services.
