 INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL DELIVERY SLIP SYSTEM AT BOS FOR DELIVERY OF REGISTERED ARTICLES.

Use of delivery slip is not prescribed in BOs receipts RP-1 or RP-31 containing acquittance of the addressee are filed with the BO slip in which the registered letters/ parcels are invoiced.

Now a day, the number of registered articles received for delivery in BOs is so large that takes much time to prepare the receipts by the BPM and for the Postman to enter them in the postman book. It is also difficult to file large number of receipts along with BO slips.

In view of the above it has been decided to introduce delivery slip system in these BOs in which Number of registered articles exceed 25 a day.
