Department of
Post launched EXPRESS PARCEL & BUSINESS PARCEL services on December 2nd,
2013 by the Hon'ble Min. for Communications & IT.
The Indian Post Office Act 1898 (6of1898) has been
amended (3rd amendment) as Indian Post Office Act (3rd amendment) Rules, 2013
vide Gazette publication dated 18th November 2013.
These two new parcel services aim to promote the
e-commerce market in India by offering reliable and cost efficient delivery
solutions. Whereas ‘Express Parcel’ is an air mail service providing guaranteed
time bound delivery of parcels, ‘Business Parcel’ will provide fast, secure and
cost efficient transmission of parcels through surface. These services will have
‘Cash on Delivery’ facility which has become a pre-requisite today for
e-commerce parcels.
