Pakistan Post has announced revised tariffs for several domestic postal services, with the new charges for walk-in customers scheduled to take effect from October 1.
The updated rates will apply to ordinary and registered letters across different weight categories. Customers using Pakistan Post for domestic mail will therefore pay revised amounts depending on the weight of their items.
Under the new tariff, an ordinary letter weighing up to 20 grams will cost Rs40. The charge will increase progressively for heavier letters, with the applicable rate determined according to the weight category.
For ordinary postal items, the new charges are Rs80 for mail weighing up to 50 grams and Rs100 for items weighing up to 100 grams. The rate for mail weighing up to 250 grams has been set at Rs140.
Customers sending ordinary mail weighing up to 500 grams will be charged Rs170. The tariff rises to Rs250 for items weighing up to one kilogram, while mail of up to 1.5kg will cost Rs320.
For ordinary postal items weighing up to 2kg, the revised charge has been fixed at Rs400.
Pakistan Post has also revised the charges applicable to registered letters. A registration fee of Rs40 has been set under the updated tariff, which is added to the applicable ordinary postage charge.
As a result, a registered letter weighing up to 20 grams will cost Rs80. The price for registered mail weighing up to 50 grams will be Rs120, while items of up to 100 grams will cost Rs140.
For registered letters weighing up to 250 grams, customers will pay Rs180. The rate for mail weighing up to 500 grams has been fixed at Rs210.
The revised registered postal charges will rise to Rs290 for items weighing up to one kilogram. Customers sending registered mail of up to 1.5kg will pay Rs360.
For registered items weighing up to 2kg, the new tariff has been set at Rs440.
The changes are relevant to customers using Pakistan Post’s domestic services through walk-in facilities. People sending letters and other eligible postal items will need to consider the new weight-based charges when mailing documents after the effective date.
The revised tariff also makes the weight of a postal item an important factor in determining the final cost. Customers can therefore reduce unexpected charges by checking the weight category before sending their mail.
Registered post continues to carry an additional registration charge compared with ordinary mail. Under the new structure, the Rs40 registration fee is reflected in the final amount payable for registered letters.
Pakistan Post remains one of the country’s major postal service providers, serving customers across urban and rural areas. The revised charges will affect individuals and organizations that regularly use domestic postal services for sending letters and other permitted items.
Customers planning to send important documents through registered post after October 1 should take the updated rates into account when preparing their postal budget.
The new tariff structure provides different rates based on weight, allowing customers to determine the applicable charge according to the size and weight of their mail.
