Unpaid Postage Abstract.

49. In Head Offices, the total postage due on all unregistered articles of the letter mail received for delivery from the Head office and the sub and Branch Office in its jurisdiction whether taxed by the office of posting or by the Head office itself; must be carefully calculated by the Postmaster himself and entered in the Unpaid Postage Abstract [Form ACG.45 (revised)] in the column headed “Total postage due on articles of the letter mail received this day’. The postage due on articles received before the unpaid delivery is made should be entered in unpaid postage Abstract for the day and the articles should then be transferred to the delivery department. The postage due on articles received after the unpaid delivery has been made should be entered, at the time of receipt, in the Unpaid Postage Abstract for the following day and the articles should be kept in the Postmaster’s personal custody until the following day, when they should be transferred to the delivery department with the unpaid articles received on that day. The total postage realised on all unregistered articles of the letter mail will be transferred to the Head Office Cash Book against the item “Letter postage”.

Note 1:- Business reply cards and envelops are required to be sent out for delivery by the delivery department, following their receipt in the office of destination. The articles received on a working day preceding a Sunday or a Post Office holiday after the unpaid delivery is made, should be transferred to the delivery department on the same day. The amount of postage due on the articles delivered on a Sunday or a Post office holiday may be accounted for on the next working day. In case, also when the Postmen do not return to the office in time to render their accounts of the postage collections on a working day, the collections due from them may be accounted for on the next working day.

Note 2:- Unpaid and insufficiently paid articles, if intercepted under the orders of a District Magistrate, are handed over to the authority concerned without realisation of the postage due. In
