The government wants to reserve the right to carry letters, book post and parcels weighing up to 150 gm for its postal department. Private courier operators may be allowed to service this sector, but they will have to charge five times the postal department’s tariff for the same articles.
In a cabinet note on the proposed Indian Post Office (Amendment) Bill, 2007, the department of posts in the ministry of communications & IT has also said that in the case of urgent or exclusive mail services, courier companies will have to charge 2.5 times the Speedpost or Express Mail Services rates.
