All India Post shipments can be found on the Postal Ninja package tracker by entering the tracking number in the search field and clicking the "Find by tracking number" button.
India Post is the India's national postal operator, providing shipping services both domestically and internationally. In addition to standard deliveries, it also handles package deliveries. As part of the EMS cooperative, India Post is an official operator for the delivery of EMS shipments.
There are two types of general prohibitions and restrictions that are typical of all postal services: weight/measurement and content. All necessary information can be found on the official India Post website. The permitted types and possible restrictions for the shipment of goods also depend on the country of destination.
Types of India Post tracking numbers
Postal shipments are grouped into two categories, and the main classification criterion is weight: small parcels are up to 2 kg; shipments are over 2 kg. Small parcels up to 2 kg may not be traceable, but India Post always registers EMS shipments and express deliveries and assigns them a tracking number.
The international postal identifier consists of an alphanumeric sequence:
RT123456785IN: small package from India;
CA123456785IN: shipment from India;
EE123456785IN: express shipment from India.
The first letter R indicates that it is a registered small parcel; for shipments, the letter will be C; EMS mail begins with the letter E. The digits ensure that the number is unique. The last letters determine the country of the postal service from which the package was sent.
