Question
Explain in brief different mail services provided by the post office.

Answer

Mail Services: The postal department provides facilities for transmission of post cards, inland letters, parcels, etc from one place to another. Various types of mail services offered by the Post and Telegraph Department are described below
  1. Registered Post: It is a postal facility under which it is ensured that the mail is either delivered to the address or it comes back to the sender by paying registration charges. The registered mail is marked ‘Registered Post' on its face, to differentiate it from the ordinary mail.
  2. Parcel Post: Parcels of specified size and weight can be sent to domestic and international locations under this service. Postal charges for parcels depend on the weight of the parcel and are reasonably low. Charges for foreign parcel post are higher than that for inland parcel post.
  3. Speed Post: This service is designed for very fast delivery of mail. The Post and Telegraph Department guarantees that all internal mail received upto 5pm at the specified post offices will be delivered within 24 hours. If it fails to do so, the extra fee charged for this service will be refunded.

After doing her M.Com from 'Himachal Pradesh University of Shimla', Komalika went back to her village in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh.
