Dear Philatelist,
“Not placing order” is not a appropriate solution, Mr. Atul Jain has raised some  genuine question about policy of India Post .Another word we can say is India Post is charging high profits from Philatelists. Instead of promotion of Philately this will destroy this wonderful hobby.

A Cover was on Sadhbhavna Mission of Mr Narendra Modi  was released in Godhra on 20 Jan 2012 and the  chief postmaster of Vadodara region, Lt Col K S Chauhan  presented him with a cover with an emblem of the Sadbhavana Mission.The cover on Sadbhavana Mission was  sponsored by the collector of Panchmahal. The complete news on Cover release can be read at the link given below

It is reliably learnt that that CPMG Humera Ahmed has been since transferred to Mumbai and Chief postmaster of Vadodara region, Lt Col K S Chauhan has also been transferred to Indore from Vadodara. Shri Faiz Ur Rehman, CPMG, Maharastra Circle has been  transferred and posted as CPMG, Gujarat Circle on 02/2/2012

Why to ask – “Why this exorbitant rate?”, simply do not place order. But there are so many people who are already registered to get My Stamp on this rate. As Personalised Stamps (My Stamps) do not bear any philatelic value, so we should not book any order on any rate.
