Snapdeal Partners With India Post to Sell Postal Stamps - NEWS

World's largest postal service, India Post has tied up with online marketplace major Snapdeal to sell stamps to reach out to larger audiences.

Under the partnership, targeted especially at philately enthusiasts, Snapdeal will sell stamps and collections priced between Rs 300-5,500.

"While stamp collection has been a popular hobby, we found consumers who said they found it difficult to buy stamps. India Post has an amazing collection of stamps that we feel we our consumers will be delighted to have," Snapdeal co-founder and COO Rohit Bansal told PTI.

Also, with Snapdeal's extensive reach, India Post will be able to reach a large number of customers, he added.

"Miniature works of art, documenting human history and endeavours, cultures, traditions and national heritage, postage stamps can be window to the world. The partnership with Snapdeal will enhance the ease of purchasing philatelic stamps and products on the Internet at the click of a button," India Posts Secretary Kaveri Banerjee said.

The first India Postage Stamps were issued in 1854, which bore the inscription 'India Postage'. The first independence stamps, issued in 1947 (three in number), depicted the Ashoka Pillar, the Indian National Flag and an Aircraft.

Since then, India has issued more than 3,000 stamps.

There are 68 Philatelic Bureaux and 1,111 philatelic counters in the country.

"We are increasingly working with government agencies to help them reap benefits of eCommerce. With this partnership, they will be able to reach out to a larger audience," he said.

India has the largest postal network in the world with over 1.55 lakh post offices (as on March 2009) of which 1.39 lakh are in rural areas.

Andhra mulls roping in Postal Dept for various govt schemes - NEWS

Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary I Y R Krishna Rao on Saturday emphasised the need to leverage rural post office networks for financial inclusion and delivery of State government releases, including salaries to anganwadi workers and payment of utility bills, among others.

"The utilisation of the rural postal network by the State government should be further explored and expanded," an official release quoted Rao as saying.

He was reviewing the aspect of coordination with the Postal Department for financial inclusion programme of the State government at the Secretariat here.

The Postal Department is already involved in the distribution of wages of NREGS and pensions in 383 Mandals out of a total of 661 in the State.

"The department had 8,793 Branch Post Offices and 1,503 Sub Post Offices and 59 Head Post Offices spread across 661 Mandals of the State. All of them could be utilised for delivery of all government services and releases to farmers, widows, students and also SHG groups as part of the financial inclusion programme," Rao added.

He said the State Rural Development Department would be asked to give a feed back on the ongoing programmes and the feasibility of utilising the entire postal network in other remaining Mandals for a variety of other services and deliveries.

According to the official, the number of other government schemes that could be brought under the postal network were disbursements of the 'Ma Inti Mahalakshmi' scheme, salaries to anganwadi workers, Janani Suraksha scheme of Health department, collection of electricity, water and other bills, municipal taxes, sales tax, etc, payment of scholarships, allowances to the disabled in areas in which their network exists.

Possibility of sale of non-judicial stamp papers through rural post offices involving government schemes like sale of agricultural inputs would also be examined, he added.
