Winter Session 2023 - Post Office Bill Reflection Of Postal Institutions' Revival Under NDA: Minister

Communications Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw asserted on Monday that the Post Office Bill, 2023 to amend the 125-year-old Indian Post Office Act is a reflection of how post offices and postal institutions were revived in the last nine years under the NDA's rule.

Moving the Post Office Bill, 2023 to be taken into consideration and passed by the Rajya Sabha, the minister said in the last nine-and-a-half years, postal services, post offices and postmen have been transformed into a service-delivery institution from being merely a mail-delivery mechanism.

At one point, it seemed that the postal services would become irrelevant and especially during the rule of the UPA, there was a situation when post offices had to be phased out, he claimed.
