What are first Class and Second class Mails

As Network restructuring is implemented from 15.2.2012 some of you may experience in classifying First class mails and Second class mails..


First Class Mails
             First Class Mails are given air transmission within India, wherever such air conveyance is available.  The delivery of First Class Mails is expedited thus, without collection of any extra charges from the public




Second Class mails

             Second Class Mails are air-lifted, only if they are marked for air transmission on collection of the requisite air surcharges from the sender
