154. Perfumes. – Perfumes though a spirituous preparation having in some cases a flash point of 35.6°C (96°F) or below and a greater strength than 60°U.P may be transmitted by the Inland Post subject to the following conditions: - (a) The perfume must be filled in a glass bottle which should be plugged and capsuled. The glass bottle should then be packed in a cardboard box with cushion inside. (b) The cardboard box must be wrapped with strong paper placed in an outer wooden box with corrugated paper and shavings. (c) The outside of the wooden box should also be labeled in red letters “perfumes – keep away from fire”. 155. Manner of Prepaying Postage. – The postage on a parcel, and also the registration fee if the parcel is to be registered must be prepaid fully. Postage stamps must be affixed to, or impressions of stamping machine taken on the cover of the parcel or an official label which can be obtained free at the post office. In cases where postage stamps are used the sender or his messenger must affix the stamps himself, postal official being strictly forbidden to affix them. Should an official label be used it must be pasted to the parcel; and if the sender does not do this himself he is recommended to see it done in this presence before he leaves the post office. NOTE : If wax-cloth is used as an outer covering for protection and sufficient strong paper has not been securely fastened outside the wax-cloth (se clause 15), it is advisable that the postage stamps should always be affixed to an official label. 156. Manner of Posting. – (1) Every parcel (including service parcels) intended for transmission by post must be presented at the window of the post office. Any parcel found in a letter box will be treated and charged as a registered parcel. (2) If a parcel containing any of the articles mentioned in sub-clause (2) and (3) of clause 147 and clauses 148 to 152 is not packed in the manner prescribed therein it will not be forwarded. AIR MAIL SERVICE 157. Articles given air-lift. – All First Class mails and money order are given air transmission as a matter of course, without payment of any additional air fee, wherever such air conveyance is available and would be advantageous. Other classes of mails, viz., book, sample and patter packets, registered newspapers, blind literature packets and parcels will be required to be paid with the requisite air surcharge, if they are to be given air transmission. NOTE : As a special case, all classes of mails for and from Agartala (Tripura State) are given air conveyance between Agartala and Calcutta, and Agartala and airports in Assam without any air surcharge. 158. Conditions. – (a) All surcharged air mail articles must bear the prescribed Blue Air Mail label available gratis at the Post Office, on the top left-hand corner on the address side.
Articles bearing a manuscript indication “By Air Mail” may be posted but there is likelihood of such a direction being overlooked by the Post Office staff and such articles being forwarded by surface route and being delayed. (b) The pre-payment of the full air mail fee on parcels and of at least 75 per cent of the total charges including the air fee on all other surcharged articles is obligatory. (c) All the special services like registration, acknowledgement due, etc., are admissible in the case of air mail articles as in the case of surface mail articles. In such cases, the weight of the acknowledgement card, or other forms accompanying the article like V.P.M.O. form will be taken along with that of the article in calculating the air mail fee. (d) In all other respects, the rules governing the similar classes of mails for surface transmission will apply in the case of corresponding classes of air mail articles. 159. Re-direction of air mail correspondence. – Addresses wishing to have second class mails, both surcharged and un-surcharged redirected to them within India or returned to them by air in case of non-delivery, are required to deposit in advance in the post office, sums sufficient to cover the air fees at the prescribed rate of air surcharge. In such cases the addresses should give specific written instruction to the Post Office. The Post Office will keep an account with each such addressee in accordance with the procedure laid down in Class 61. 160. Limited air-lift. – (a) For the convenience of the public a special procedure of giving air lift only over the difficult sections of the route in the case of articles for certain remote areas at a concessional rate of air fee has been introduced. For the rest of the journey, the articles will be carried by the normal surface route. Such articles may, however, be given air-transmission for the entire journey at the normal rates of air surcharge. (b) The classes of traffic and the sections over which such limited air limit will be afforded are indicated below :- Places between which air-lift will be given Classes of traffic (i) Calcutta and any station in Assam (ii) Amritsar-Srinagar . . . . . . Registered newspapers and (iii) Amritsar-Jammu Tawi .. . . . . air parcels (iv) Srinagar-Leh . . . . . . (v) Srinagar-Kargil . .. . . . .
