Part I Part II Part III Part IV Rules and regulations relating to inland post Rules and regulations relating to foreign post. List of Post Offices (in two volumes). Post Office Savings Bank and Post Office Savings Scheme. 3. The Postal rates are given in a separate pamphlet, attached to Part I.

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, supersedes any of the provisions in the Indian Post Office Act or Rules. 5. Amendments as may be necessary will be issued from time to time by the Director General, Posts. Suggestions for additions and alterations should be addressed to the Postal Technical Section of this Directorate.
