The Indian Postal Department has evolved beyond just mailing letters. It now offers various services like banking, insurance, and Aadhaar services at affordable rates.
With Rakshabandhan approaching, the department is introducing special Rakhi envelopes to ensure timely delivery of Rakhis to brothers.
To enhance this service, the department is now using waterproof boxes and envelopes.

For ₹350, you can issue a stamp in your brother’s or sister’s name as a Rakshabandhan gift.
