The Speed Post was introduced in India in 1986 and since then it is providing a fast and reliable delivery of letters and parcels across the country.

Question: What are the new Speed Post Rates?

Answer: The updated tariff structure is as follows:

Registration is also available as a value-added service under speed post for both documents and parcels, customers can have addressee specific secured delivery specifically designed to bring trust and speed together.
