India Post (the Department of Posts) is India's national postal service, offering Speed Post, registered mail, and international parcels. Trackable services scan at booking, sorting hubs, and delivery; international items use S10 numbers handed between posts.
How to track India Post
- Copy the India Post consignment number (often a 13-character S10 code) from your receipt.
- Paste it into the tracker at the top of this page and press Track — we auto-detect that it's India Post.
- Review the booked, in-transit, and delivery scans returned from India Post.
- For inbound international items, watch for the customs and import-post scans near the end.
💡 Good to know
- Speed Post is the tracked, faster India Post service; ordinary post is not trackable.
- Delivery to remote or rural areas can add several days and have fewer scans.
- Inbound international parcels may face customs assessment and a clearance delay.
