I knowā€¦ thatā€™s the equivalent of Ā£0.12 per card. Here in the UK, it is 15x more expensive at Ā£1.85 per card :open_mouth:ā€¦ I shall send lots of cards next time I visit India :+1:

So, I want to send my postcards inside an envelope(like pictured). So I think that this will now be considered to be a letter instead of a postcard?

What will be the postage charges? According to this link, it should be Rs 20(for 20gms) + the Air surcharge(maximum Rs 9). So the total will be Rs 29 at the highest end.

So, if I put stamps of Rs 30, it should reach the destinationā€¦ Right?

Yes, 30 rupees postage is enough for an envelope weighing 20gms or less. If you want to send a postcard without an envelope, you can find the rates in this link:

Have cards been making it to China these days? I have four expired cards to China. I see that the people I have sent the cards to have not received cards in a long time, (month plus) so maybe the issue is on the China end. I saw in the postal monitor that India is only sending sea mail to China, but these cards were sent long before that. I send from several different post offices in Mumbai, including the GPO, so I donā€™t think I am having a local issue.

@nihal1289 You can send the postcard as is, no need to put it in an envelope. ā‚¹15 postage is enough to send to any international destination via airmail.

Can anybody please confirm where we can get best postal stamps in Delhi , INDIA.

The best place would be visit a Philatelic Bureau. As far as I know there are a couple of Philatelic Bureaus in Delhi located in Delhi GPO, Delhi HPO, Sansad Marg HPO, and Krishna Nagar HPO.
