Steep Hike in Registration Charges of Airmail Letters.

India Post has hiked its Registration charges for Air Mail and Surface Mail from Rs.15/- to Rs.50/- with effect from 1st May 2010.

The previous hike was back in 1994, but now it has hiked by 333.33% which is bad news for all Philatelists and others sending letters by Registered Post.

I request all the readers of this blog to comment on the same.
