The revised postal rates for international mail available on the website of Pakistan Post as well as at the Islamabad General Post Office (GPO) have not been communicated to many post offices. The rates came into effect on March 12, while many post offices continue to insist on charging the old rates. According to the relevant notification, postal rate for a 50gm letter had been reduced from Rs400 to Rs250. However, post offices in F-6, F-7, F-8 and DHA phase 2 insist on charging the old rates. This is a serious lapse on the part of Pakistan Post.
