How to Track Your Parcel Online with India Post

Tracking your parcel online helps you know exactly where your parcel, registered letter, or money order is without going to the post office again and again. You can see when it will arrive, where it is currently, and avoid the stress of waiting blindly.

What Types of Articles Can You Track?

India Post allows you to track a wide range of services:

• Speed Post consignments (fast delivery parcels and letters)
• Registered Letters & Articles
• Parcels (Domestic and International)
• Money Orders and Insurance Articles

Understanding Tracking Numbers: EV, CV, RV, etc.

Every India Post article has a unique 13-digit tracking number:

• EVXXXXXXXXXIN - Speed Post articles (fast delivery)
• CVXXXXXXXXXIN - Registered Parcels (secure parcels)
• RVXXXXXXXXXIN - Registered Letters (documents and letters)
• Other prefixes like EM, CP, and RA may also appear on your tracking number:
  • EM: Used for Express Mail and Speed Post articles in some cases.
  • CP: Stands for Customs Parcel or Commercial Parcel usually used for international parcels.
  • RA: Registered Articles, similar to RV, often used for registered letters or documents.
  These prefixes help India Post identify the type of service used for your shipment and determine its delivery speed and handling.

This helps you easily identify if your article is Speed Post, Registered Post, or Parcel.
