Norms for Setting Up of Post Offices

The norms for setting up of Head Post Offices in the country are as under:

A Head Post Office should have a minimum of 20 Sub Post Offices attached to it. In the case of backward areas or places where there will be a definite improvement in financing Sub Post Offices/Branch Post Offices, a lower standard may be adopted, subject to the approval of the Directorate.

An existing Head Post Office should be bifurcated, if the number of Sub Post Offices attached to it exceeds 60. It should, however, be ensured that as a result of the change neither the new nor old Head Post Offices has less than 20 Sub Post Offices attached to it.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology, Shri Gurudas Kamat in a written reply to a Question in Lok Sabha today.
