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. Over the years, Speed Post has emerged as one of the most popular and trusted mail services in India, standing strong against private courier companies.

  • OTP-based secure delivery
  • Online payment facility
  • SMS-based delivery notifications
  • Convenient online booking services
  • Real-time delivery updates

In order to sustain ongoing improvements, meet rising operational costs, and invest in new innovations, the tariff of Speed Post (documents) has now been revised. The revised tariff will be effective from 1st October 2025.

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. A nominal charge of ₹5/- per Speed Post item (Document/Parcel), plus applicable GST, will be levied for the value-added service of ‘Registration’, wherein the item will be delivered exclusively to the addressee or a person duly authorised by the addressee.

Similarly, a charge of ₹5/- per Speed Post item (Document/Parcel), plus applicable GST, will apply for the value-added service of ‘One-Time Password (OTP) Delivery’.
