India Post Tracking –
Track Your Parcel & Delivery Status in Real Time

A Speed Post consignment number (also called a tracking number or article number) is a unique 13-character alphanumeric code assigned to your parcel when it is booked at any India Post Speed Post counter. It typically follows the format EE123456789IN two letters, nine digits, and the country code "IN". You can find it printed prominently on your booking receipt.

After booking, the tracker will show estimated progress based on origin and destination. Metro to metro (e.g., Delhi to Mumbai) typically takes 1–2 business days. Tier-2 cities take 2–3 days. Remote areas may take 3–5 days. International EMS takes 3–5 business days for nearby countries and up to 10 days for farther destinations.

Yes, "In Transit" for 2–4 days is generally normal, especially for parcels travelling through multiple sorting hubs. However, if your tracking status hasn't changed for more than 7 days, we recommend raising a complaint at indiapost.gov.in or calling your nearest post office.

"Item Bagged" means your parcel has been sorted at the originating post office and physically placed inside a dispatch bag (mailbag) ready for transport. This is a normal step and typically happens within a few hours after booking. After bagging, the next status is usually "Item Dispatched".

Unfortunately, no. A consignment number is mandatory for tracking. Without it, there is no way to identify your specific parcel in India Post's system. If you've lost your receipt, contact the post office where you booked the parcel they maintain booking records and can help retrieve your consignment number.

If your tracking status shows no movement for several days, you can file a complaint in multiple ways: (1) Visit India Post's official complaint portal at indiapost.gov.in; (2) Call the India Post call centre at 1800-11-2011 (toll-free); (3) Visit your nearest head post office in person; (4) Send an email to the Postmaster General of your postal circle. Always keep your consignment number handy.

Speed Post is India Post's express service, offering delivery within 1–4 days for domestic shipments with full online tracking. Registered Post is a slower, more economical service taking 3–7 days. Speed Post is better for urgent items, while Registered Post is preferred for legal documents and official correspondence.

Generally, Speed Post does NOT deliver on Sundays and national public holidays. In some major metro cities, limited Sunday delivery may be available. State-specific holidays also apply. The delivery timeline communicated at booking usually accounts for working days only (Monday–Saturday, excluding public holidays).

If a Speed Post delivery attempt fails, the postman leaves a delivery notice at your address. India Post will typically attempt delivery 2–3 times. If all attempts fail, the parcel is held at your local post office for up to 15 days for collection. After 15 days, uncollected parcels may be returned to the sender. You can collect with ID proof or arrange re-delivery by contacting the post office.

International EMS parcels booked via India Post can be tracked using the same consignment number format typically EE or EA prefix followed by 9 digits and "IN" (e.g., EE123456789IN). You can track them on this website, on India Post's official site, or on the destination country's postal service website using the same number. Most EMS-member countries share tracking data internationally.

Yes, you can request address redirection for Speed Post, but it must be done before the parcel is out for delivery. Visit or contact your local delivery post office with your consignment number and the new address. A redirection fee may apply. Address changes cannot be done online they must be requested in person at the post office.

Speed Post from Delhi to Mumbai typically takes 1–2 business days for documents and small parcels. India Post guarantees Speed Post delivery between metro cities within 1–2 days under their Express Parcel commitment. Heavy parcels or those booked late in the day may occasionally take an extra day. Weekends and public holidays are not counted in the delivery timeline.

Once your parcel is delivered, the tracker will update the status to "Delivered" along with the date and time. In some cases, the recipient's name is also recorded. For additional proof of delivery, you can request a delivery certificate from India Post an official document confirming all delivery details.
