Track India Post

What does “Delivery Attempted” mean in India Post tracking?

Needs attention

Usually nobody was available at the address, the address needed clarification, or access was not possible.

What happened

Delivery was tried but could not be completed.

What happens next

India Post may try again on a following working day, or hold the item at the delivery post office.

Do you need to do anything?

Check for a notice slip. You can normally collect the item from the delivery post office with photo ID — call them first to confirm it is being held.

If the record then sits unchanged for longer than the distance explains, readhow to collect a missed delivery. For anything only India Post can act on — a redirect, a complaint, a claim — call1800 266 6868 or use itscomplaint portal.

This describes how India Post normally operates. It is not a delivery guarantee or an estimated delivery date.
