How to Track an India Post Shipment
Three steps. No account needed.
1
Find your tracking number
It's on the post office receipt, in a confirmation SMS or email from the sender, or on the package label. It's usually 13 characters — two letters, an eight-digit serial, a check digit, then the country code.
2
Enter it
Paste or type the number into the tracking field below (or on the homepage) and press Track. We check the format, copy the number to your clipboard, and open India Post's official tracking page in a new tab.
3
Read the result on India Post
Paste the number into India Post's form — their page uses a CAPTCHA, so it can't be filled in for you. You'll then see the current status, latest location, last updated time, and a full scan-by-scan history.
What the result shows you
Current status — what's happening with the item right now (booked, in transit, out for delivery, delivered, etc.)
Latest location — the last post office or sorting facility that scanned it.
Last updated time — when the most recent scan happened.
Full scan history — every recorded event from booking to current status, in order.
If nothing comes up
- Check the number. A single wrong digit or letter means no match. Copy-paste it if you can.
- Wait 24–48 hours. Items booked very recently may not appear in the system yet.
- Confirm it's the consignment number. Order IDs, reference numbers and application numbers won't work here — you need the number assigned by India Post.
