New Delhi: Everything is not looking well between India and America these days. A few days ago, America imposed a tariff on India by 50 percent, which was also implemented on 27 August. In response to the US tariff, the Indian Postal Department has also made a big decision.
Indian Post has decided to completely suspend the postal booking of all categories going to America. This information has been made clear by the Ministry of Communications while sharing it on Sunday. It has been decided to completely suspend the postal booking of all categories, including letters, papers and gift items going to America. The government has also given information about this decision.
The government shared big information.
The central government has taken a big decision amid tariff tension. While giving information about this decision, the reasons behind it have also been mentioned. According to the Ministry of Communications, it was informed that due to the continued inability of airlines to transport mail going to the US and the lack of a regulatory mechanism for the new rules being implemented by the US, booking of all categories of mail, including letter paper and gift items worth up to $10,0 is being completely suspended. This decision of India is being considered in response to the US tariff.
Decision to temporarily suspend
After the new rules of the US, on August 22, the central government informed that it had decided to temporarily suspend the booking of all types of mail destined for the US except those letters, papers and gift items whose value is up to $100.
Now the government has completely suspended the booking of mail of all categories. The Postal Department has clearly stated in its notice that the government is keeping a close watch on every situation, and efforts are being made to restore the services as soon as possible.
