3. The Postal rates are given in a separate pamphlet, attached to Part I. As these
are revised from time to time, public are requested to ascertain the latest rates from the
nearest Post Office.
4. All the clauses of this Guide are based on the Indian Post Office Act and Rules
framed by the Government under the said Act. Nothing in this Guide, therefore,
