What to Focus On

  • Until 1837, postal services in India were used only for official mail.
  • After 1837, postal services became available to the public.
  • Mail services handle letters, parcels, and packets.

  • Mail service covers collection, sorting, and delivery of letters and parcels.
  • Inland mail remains within the same country.
