Department of Posts launches ‘One India one rate scheme’

Users of Indian postal services have some good news as the Department of Posts has launched a new scheme named ‘One India one rate scheme’.

This scheme has been designed to enable the customers to send Speed Posts across the country at a uniform rate.

As per this latest scheme, speed post letters weighing 50 grams or less could be sent to anywhere in the country for Rs 25. They are however keeping the rates of sending local posts same as now.

Postal Department Secretary Jyotsana Diesh spoke on this new offer: “The scheme would make Speed Posts more convenient and affordable of customers. Our commercial clients were demanding a discount on rates. This scheme will help them as well.”

Post Master General-Delhi Meera Handha added: “Of course, it is for our retail customers and there are no ceiling on the number of articles sent. A person can send one letter too in this scheme. But, it makes more of a difference to our commercial clients like Banks and other financial institutions as they send articles in bulk.”
