Sub: Processing of Speed Post and Registered articles at one hub
This has reference to the OM of even no. dated 17.10.2024 regarding processing of Speed Post Inland Document and Registered articles at one common processing hub.
2. On issuing of orders regarding common processing of Speed Post and Registered articles, feasibility of shifting/merger of Registered L-1/L2 hubs either in the city or nearby NSHs/ICHs were examined by the Circles. Besides, Circles have also conducted the meeting with all the stakeholders including Service Unions.

Both these hubs will technically get merged and will not be visible separately in the system. Circle shall ensure timely action in respect of transfer of employee ID wherever is required.
