To ensure safe delivery during the monsoon season ahead of Raksha Bandhan, India Post has introduced specially designed waterproof envelopes across post offices nationwide. Available for ₹10, these durable covers protect rakhi parcels from rain damage during transit. To further support women sending greetings to their brothers, the postal department is offering a 10 per cent discount on Speed Post delivery charges for rakhi consignments.

Purushottam Das, Superintendent at the Head Post Office in Barabanki, confirmed that the facility is accessible across all head, sub, and branch post offices. He added that special arrangements have been established for handling both bookings and deliveries, with postal centers remaining operational on Sunday to handle the holiday rush.
