Punjab Desk: A video is going viral on social media claiming that India Post will soon discontinue its Registered Post service. The video and related posts allege that the service will officially end on September 1, 2025.
Some accounts have even gone as far as stating that India Post has already announced the closure, calling it “the end of an era”, and claiming that the 50-year-old service is being scrapped because people no longer use it.
The Reality After Fact-Checking
When the Press Information Bureau (PIB) investigated the viral video and messages, it was revealed that the claims are completely false. This misinformation is being spread through WhatsApp forwards and social media posts.
PIB clarified that Registered Post is not being shut down. Instead, the service is being merged with Speed Post for operational efficiency. Citizens are urged to stay alert and not believe such baseless rumours.
If you’d like, I can also rewrite this in a short, crisp “fact-check” news format that would be perfect for quick-reading audiences.
