India, Aug. 2 -- The Department of Posts (DoP), via an internal circular dated July 2, informed officials that the Registered Post service will officially merge with Speed Post on September 1, 2025 in an effort to streamline operations.

The merger marks the end of one of India Post's oldest services.

Registered Post, long associated with formal and secure communication, will now be folded into Speed Post, which is faster and offers address-specific delivery with advanced tracking features.

"The initiative aims to streamline mail services, enhance operational efficiency, improve tracking mechanisms, and deliver greater customer convenience by consolidating similar services under a unified framework," said the circular.
