India bids goodbye to Registered Post: When India used pigeons to send mail

India Post announced that it will merge its 50-year-old Registered Post service with modern speed post. As the curtains slowly draw on one of the most iconic services of Indian postal history, it's worth pausing for a moment to reflect on what we're leaving behind read more From September 1, 2025, Resgistered Post, a 50-year-old service, once valued for its reliability, affordability, and legal weight among office-goers, will be officially discontinued. AI-generated Image for Representation When was the last time you wrote a letter? Some of us can faintly recall writing one, maybe a postcard mailed on a holiday or a letter to a distant cousin. For Gen Z, licking a stamp and sealing an envelope may be something they've only seen in movies. It's 2025, a world ruled by WhatsApp messages and endless email threads, so it's no surprise that the art, and even the need, for handwritten letters has quietly faded into nostalgia. Yet, there was a time when letters carried emotions across cities, when the wait for a postman was filled with anticipation. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But that era is sadly drawing to a close. Earlier this week, India Post said it would merge the 50-year-old Registered Post service, once valued for its reliability, affordability, and legal weight among office-goers, with the faster and more modern Speed Post service.

Pigeons, horses & more: A look at India's ancient postal system Long before the British set up a structured postal system, ancient India had its own creative ways of staying connected. Messages were sent through runners, horse riders, and even pigeons. One of the earliest known postal systems can be traced back to the Mauryan Empire, during Emperor Chandragupta Maurya's reign (circa 321–297 BCE). Historical accounts suggest messages were often sent through pigeons, who became a trusted network of communication across the vast empire. Amazingly, this pigeon post system remained in use for centuries. In fact, in April 1948, then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru used a pigeon to send a message from Sambalpur to Cuttack regarding arrangements for a public meeting. The service continued until as late as March 2008, when Odisha officially retired its last pigeon post. The pigeon post system remained in use for centuries. Police in India's Odisha are preserving a flock of carrier pigeons for use when disasters sever communication links. File image/Reuters But pigeons weren't the only messengers. India's ancient postal network evolved significantly under the Delhi Sultanate. Around 1296, Alauddin Khilji introduced a structured system using a combination of relay runners and horses, according to records from India Post. The Mughal emperor Akbar is credited with refining this further. He set up what was called a 'dak chauki '— dak meaning 'post' and chauki referring to relay stations placed every 11 miles. Each station had runners or riders who would pass on state messages in a relay. You could even call it a very early version of express delivery. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The runners, known as meorahs, were celebrated for their astonishing endurance. According to 16th-century Portuguese writer Antoni de Montserrat, some were even believed to have had their liver removed in infancy to help them run long distances without getting breathless.

They primarily carried official dispatches, used by kings, emperors, and administrators to maintain control over distant provinces. The British Empire's postal revolution To consolidate its hold over the Indian subcontinent, the British East India Company did more than fight battles — it built systems of control. And at the heart of that control was communication. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Company developed its own postal system known as 'Company Mail' across its territories. The first regular postal service started in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1766 under Lord Clive, then Governor of Bengal. By 1774, the city had a General Post Office that charged two annas per 100 miles. Similar offices opened in Madras and Bombay in 1786. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Under Warren Hastings, who succeeded Clive as Governor-General of India, the postal setup in Bengal became more structured. A Postmaster-General was appointed, and postage charges were introduced for private letters. By 1789, the East India Company had a network of daks (postal runners)— or dauriyas — connecting administrative homes to key towns.

File image/ PTI These dak runners, who often came from marginalised caste groups and ran for miles through forests and rivers to deliver letters, According to an Indian Express report citing a study Dak Roads, Dak Runners, and the Reordering of Communication Networks of historian Chitra Joshi, writes that these runners were not only 'loyal but remarkably efficient', navigating difficult terrain and even braving tigers, as noted in official records. A major transformation came in 1854 under Governor-General Lord Dalhousie, who introduced uniform postage rates and helped pass the India Post Office Act. This laid the foundation of India's national postal service, officially launched on October 1, 1854. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD By the early 20th century, India's postal system had become a cornerstone of communication and efficiency. Before independence, there were around 23,000 post offices. But in the decades that followed, the network grew at an incredible pace, reaching nearly 1.5 lakh post offices by 1978.

File image/AFP Bollywood's love affair with letters As the postal system expanded, every town, village, and mohalla had its own postman, whose arrival was often awaited with the same anticipation as a festival. This emotional connection was also reflected in Indian pop culture. Songs like 'Dakiya Dak Laya' from the 1977 film Palkon Ki Chhaon Mein romanticised the postman's role in village life. Some were even as heart-wrenching as the one in Border (1997), where the postman delivers a letter to a soldier's family, the very 'chitthi' that confirmed his death. The song 'Sandese Aate Hain' from the same film became an anthem for longing and love, echoing the emotions of families waiting to hear from loved ones at the frontlines. 'Chitthi Aayi Hai' from the film Naam (1986) also captured the ache of homesickness. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The song Even Irrfan Khan's popular movie The Lunchbox (2013), rekindled that nostalgia of handwritten letters and missed connections. Beyond cinema, philately, the collection of postal stamps, became a popular hobby in Indian households. India Post even capitalised on this with special edition stamps marking historic events, freedom fighters, festivals, and even cinematic milestones.

With a workforce of around 600,000, it is the country's third-largest employer, after the armed forces and the railways. Despite being one of India's oldest institutions, the postal department is far from obsolete. As The Indian Express cited economist V Ranganathan from his Challenges in Reform of the Indian Postal Service, India Post continues to provide vital 'last-mile connectivity' and access to basic services, especially in remote and underserved regions. An Indian man (R) dictates to a letter writer sitting on a pavement outside the general post office in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata. File image/ Reuters 'India Post had been the earliest adopter of technology and infrastructure changes,' Ranganathan wrote. 'During the British period, it used the train extensively when it was introduced; when the airplane was introduced, again it was the first.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, in recent decades, the service has been squeezed between rapid digitalisation and fierce competition from private logistics players. According to official data, the number of registered items dropped by nearly 25 per cent, from 244.4 million in 2011–12 to 184.6 million in 2019–20. Yet, even in the face of declining volumes and changing habits, the iconic red postbox remains as a relic of a time when communication had heart, purpose and patience. With input from agencies

Consumer is king? Delhi govt data on redressal of complaints suggests otherwise

How do consumers fare in court hearings against companies who they claim have allegedly duped or deceived them? Not a smooth run always, suggests government data accessed by The Indian Express. A response by BL Verma, Minister of State, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution in Lok Sabha, dated December 4, 2024, highlights the number of consumer cases filed before commissions between the 2020 and 2024 in the Capital and also the number of pending cases. In Delhi, approximately 4,700 cases on average were filed by the consumers each year between 2020 and 2024, according to Verma's reply to TDP MP Krishna Prasad Tenneti. As of January 1, 2020, the consumer commissions in the Capital had 23,350 pending cases. Close to five years later, the number stood at 23,635. This means that the total number of cases disposed of in five years was almost equal to the number of new cases filed implying a stagnancy in disposal. 'Despite less than 4,700 cases being filed on average, the overall pendency is not reducing. This clearly shows that there is a major issue. Cases that should be disposed of in 90 days are taking two years on average,' said Professor Bejon Kumar Mishra, who has close to four decades of experience in consumer advocacy and education. He added, 'In a city with a population of close to three crores, less than 5,000 people are approaching consumer commissions. This shows a lack of trust in the system.' Data shared by Verma, while responding to questions related to the pendency in consumer commissions on July 29 suggests that the disposal of consumer cases across the country in consumer commissions has slowed down, the government data suggests. Even as an average of 1.74 lakh cases were disposed of every year between 2022 and 2025, there are 5.8 lakh pending cases in all consumer commissions across the country at present with an average disposal rate of 80%. According to the Consumer Protection Act, every complaint needs to be disposed of within three months from the date of receipt of notice if the complaint does not require analysis or testing of commodities, and within five months if analysis is needed. Even as the nationwide disposal of consumer cases was approximately 7,000 and 11,000 more than the number of filed cases in 2022 and 2023, respectively; this trend reversed in 2024. Last year, the cases filed exceeded the disposed cases by over 15,000. Till July this year, approximately 76,000 cases have already been filed and 64,000 have been disposed of. Data shared by the Minister in response to a different question earlier last month also sheds light on the number of vacancies present in several state consumer disputes redressal commissions. Across the country, 18 out of 36 state consumer disputes redressal commissions don't have presidents, while vacancies exist for 62 members in these commissions. As far as district consumer disputes redressal commissions are concerned, 218 out of 685 commissions don't have sitting presidents, while there are 518 vacancies for members. On how to tackle the increasing pendency of consumer cases, professor Mishra suggested, 'I feel eminent persons who have been involved in consumer rights should be made members and presidents of commissions. This way we'll be sure that the posts are being occupied by those who are serious about consumer rights.' 'Most customers don't know their rights, and even when they do, they usually avoid going to consumer courts. Sometimes the damage caused to them is worth Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000. Why would anyone want to hire a lawyer and pay a fee of Rs 50,000 for cases like this?,' he told The Indian Express. Adding to that, Advocate Paras Jain said, 'Seeking affidavit-in-evidence and written submissions by consumer courts in each and every case is frustrating the legislative intent of disposing of consumer complaints in three months….' Jain represented his brother in a 12-year-long legal battle against Emami's 'Fair and Handsome' skincare product which he eventually won. 'In a civil case, when a summary judgment can be passed without seeking any affidavit-in-evidence and written submissions, Consumer Courts can also decide on the complaint in a summary manner for the speedy disposal of cases,' he added.

Bengalureans overcome with ‘nostalgia' as India Post discontinues Registered Post, one of its oldest services

Even in the era where online communication is predominant, there are many who continue to use the services of India Post. Recently, when it was announced that the Registered Post services will soon (September 1) be discontinued and merged with Speed Post services, those in Bengaluru who use the service are concerned. Registered Post, one of the oldest services of India Post, has long been a reliable source of communication related to court, governance, submission of college applications, personal letters, etc. due to its addressee-specific delivery system. According to a source in the General Post Office (GPO) of Bengaluru, at least 8,000 to 10,000 Registered Posts are sent through the GPO every day. 'The service is in great demand, especially among advocates, government officials, and banks. People trust the service so much that they even send bank cheques through Registered Post,' the source said. With the Speed Post being an address-specific delivery system (where anyone available at the address can collect it), regular users of Registered Post worry about the implications. 'For us advocates, especially in cheque bounce cases, the law requires that notices be sent to the accused within 30 days. Without the acknowledgment that Registered Post provides, it becomes difficult for both advocates and the court to ascertain timely delivery. If the alternative, which is the Speed Post in this case, proves to be unreliable, then it will create unnecessary hurdles in the legal system,' explained Samhita Vinod, a practicing advocate from the city. However, India Post has taken to social media to allay the worries of customers and clarified that the benefits of Registered Post will continue to be available with Speed Post. It said that while Speed Post Letter and Speed Post Parcel will provide address-specific delivery, items booked as Speed Post with registration will be delivered specifically to the addressee. It will also provide real-time delivery updates, end-to-end online tracking, OTP-based security delivery, and other features. 'We are modernising, not erasing,' the social media post said. While for many, the merger of Registered Post with Speed Post caused worries due to technical reasons, for many others, the news brought back memories of a time when Registered Post was the only reliable source of communication. 'My husband was in the army several decades ago and back then, a Registered Post brought many emotions with it. Even if there were any casualties, it would be communicated through the post only. Luckily, I have never received such news through it, but it remained a constant channel of communication between my husband and me during his stint in the army. I was mildly disappointed when I learned that a service that was so significant to many others like me would soon be a thing of the past,' said Parvathi Kumaran, a senior citizen from Rajajinagar.
