The Department of Posts announced a rational revision in the Inland Speed Post (documents) tariff, effective from October 1. New features such as OTP-based delivery, optional registration, and GST-separated transparent rates will also be introduced, enhancing customer convenience and security.
For local deliveries, items up to 50 grams will cost Rs 19. Parcels weighing 50–250 grams will be charged Rs 24, while items weighing 250–500 grams will cost Rs 28. Charges for longer distances will range from Rs 47 to Rs 93 depending on weight and distance. GST will apply to all shipments.
Speed Post services have evolved since 1986 to meet customer needs. The new features include secure OTP delivery, online payment, SMS notifications, online booking, real-time delivery updates, and registration options. These upgrades aim to strengthen Speed Post as the preferred delivery service in India.
The tariff for Inland Speed Post was last revised in October 2012. The revision reflects rising operational costs and aims to support ongoing improvements and new innovations. India Post remains committed to providing fast, reliable, and secure delivery services across the country.
