CLARIFICATION  ISSUED  FOR  DELIVERY  OF  SPEED POST  CONTAINING  PASSPORT  TO  ADDRESSEE  OR  HIS/HER  AUTHORISED  REPRESENTATIVES 

   B.D. & Mktg. Directorate has issued order on 11.04.2012 clarifying that Speed Post containing passports (envelopes of these articles are always superscribed such) can also be delivered to the authorised representatives of the addressee. Delivery of passports has been a consistent problem for our delivery staffs as a large number of the addressees are found residing outstation for job or other purposes. Many complaints have also been generated with such contentions. People also faced lot of troubles to get passports in this manner. This order will help redressing the problem for all. Our delivery staffs and SPMs/PMs are requested to please remain careful about the authorisation by the addressee in such cases.
