From September 1, 2025, India Post has merged Registered Post with Speed Post. The aim is to streamline services under one framework and make things easier for customers.
Security + Speed in One Service
Customers will now get the reliability and security of Registered Post, along with the speed and real-time tracking features of Speed Post.
Tracking Features
Earlier, Registered Post only offered basic tracking. Under the new system, customers will have access to real-time online tracking, SMS updates, and faster query resolution.
Delivery Changes
- Proof of Delivery will now be an optional, paid add-on (₹10 per article).
- Signature-based delivery will be provided only if specifically requested.
- Speed Post’s quick delivery (usually 1–3 days) will remain unchanged.
Charges
- Registered Post tariffs are discontinued. Charges will now follow the Speed Post structure (based on weight and distance).
- Proof of Delivery, if required, will cost an additional ₹10 per article.
- Services like Acknowledgement Due, earlier included in Registered Post, will now be available only on request.
