Quick answers

India Post service FAQs

Which service guide should I use?

Use the exact service name shown on the booking receipt. If only an article number is available, compare its format with our tracking-number guide.

Why has my tracking status not changed?

Tracking is updated after operational scans. A gap can occur between dispatch, transport and receipt at the next office.

Can one number work across different services?

No. Each postal article has its own identifier. Always use the complete number assigned at booking.

Where should I report a missing or delayed article?

Start with the official India Post complaint channel and keep the receipt, article number and latest scan details ready.
