Separate PIN code
for Supreme Court launched
The step is expected to
cut delivery time at least by half a day
The
Department of Posts on Thursday launched a separate PIN code — 110201 — for the
Supreme Court of India. The function
was presided over by Communication Minister Kapil Sibal and attended by Chief
Justice of India P. Sathasivam. According
to Padmini Gopinath, Secretary, Posts, this is a new initiative of the
department to allot customised PIN codes to a few bulk recipients of mail. This
will help the court receive mail directly from the sorting office without the
intervention of delivery post office. While this will cut the delivery time at
least by half a day, it will also reduce the cost of operations for the
department. Mr. Sibal listed the various
initiatives being taken by his Ministry to modernise the postal services. There
was a proposal to introduce banking functions also which would help the rural
people to get credit at a much cheaper rate than banks.
Justice
Sathasivam said separate PIN codes would soon be introduced for High Courts
which would help in reducing the delivery time of the mails. Chief Post Master
