Dear Sh. Krishnan,

            This is regarding formulation of the National Postal Policy 2012. As you would recall , Shri Kapil Sibal, Hon’ble Minister of Communication and Information Technology , Government of India , discussed the National Postal Policy 2012 with all the stakeholders during the Round Table on 1^st February 2012.The audio-video recording on India Post website(www.indiapost.gov.in)

2.         We are in the process of drafting the National Postal Policy 2012 for the postal sector as a whole. Hon’ble Minister has now directed that the issues of unbundling of functions and introduction of an independent regulator for the Indian Postal market should be deliberated upon as this was not discussed on earlier occasions. A meeting for this purpose is therefore arranged on 1^st October, 2012 at 1500 hrs. in G.P. Roy Committee Room,2^nd Floor, Dak Bhawan , Sansad Marg, New Delhi.
