	The Hindu : Open Page : Whither postal services in India?
		The postal services should run on their own and no subsidy will be forthcoming in a few years to come.
		The basic postal services are facing stiff competition from private couriers and the volume of work is dropping as a result of big strides in communication technology; therefore downsizing the workforce and effecting severe cuts in the working cost should be enforced strictly.
		Providing state subsidy to the postal services is not unique to our country as most of the state run postal services in the world are subsidised.

	Desicritics.org: The Indian Postal Service - Getting a Make Over?
		It seems like the after much noise about the potential for the Indian Postal service to turn itself around into a new age enterprise, there is finally some action happening.
		I think the postal service should be looked at simply as an existing massive infrastructure, where the actual delivery of mail will continue to be a loss-making enterprise, but something that cannot be done away with obviously.
		And although, its traditional postal service is still loss-making the other unconventional services more than make up for it resulting in annual profits of $400+ million and a valuation of $13 billion with prospective privatization around the corner.

	POSTAGE STAMPS OF INDIA USED ABROAD
		In a number of British-controlled areas scattered around the Indian Ocean, Indian stamps were used to prepay postage until the establishment of local postal systems (still under the general control of British India) permitted these areas to issue their own stamps (and thereby garner the revenues therefrom).
		Indian stamps used in these places can only be identified by their postmarks and while this is relatively easy for the more recent CDS-type cancel,, it is rather more difficult with the older, numbered, postmarks.
		Indian stamps were used until the P.O. was turned over to British East African administration in 1895 when overprinted stamps were issued.
