FRANCHISE SCHEME (TO PROVIDE INCREASED ACCESS TO POSTAL SERVICES IN URBAN AND RURAL AREAS)

The Department of Posts is entrusted with providing access to basic postal facilities throughout the country. Even though India has the largest postal network in the world, with about 1.55 lakh Post Offices, there continues to be a demand for Post Offices. In order to effectively meet such demand, the Department of Posts provides postal services through Franchise Scheme. 

There will be two types of franchises-

1. Counter services through Franchise Outlets in areas where there is demand for postal services, but a post office cannot be opened.
2. Sale of postal stamps and stationery through Postal Agents in urban and rural areas.

Products and services offered:

1. Sale of stamps and stationery (including phitatelic items);
2. Booking registered articles, speed post articles, money orders (on EDBO model), e-post, etc. Bulk booking of registered/speed post articles are allowed without any limit. No rebate for bulk booking of speed post articles will be admissible over and above the commission payable to the franchisees as applicable from time to time. However, the franchisees will not do bulk booking from BNPL customers. Further, Link Post Offices should report any cases of heavy bulk bookings to the HO. The HO would send a report to the Divisional Office. The Divisional Office will then alert the Marketing Executives in the Speed Post Centers etc. to make efforts to bring such customers into the fold of the BNPL Scheme of the Department. The restrictions imposed by the Department regarding bulk booking on the outsourcing agents would also be applicable to the franchisees for bulk booking.
