Track and get real-time status updates for India Post shipments.
India Post is the postal service of India, run by the Department of Posts under the Ministry of Communications, Government of India. The same counters also carry banking, savings and insurance products, which is why its own website mixes parcel services with financial ones.
For parcels the flagship product is Speed Post. India Post describes 24/48 Speed Post as its premium express delivery service and lists next-day delivery on a dedicated high-speed network, delivery seven days a week including Sundays, priority handling and priority air transmission, a money-back guarantee on delayed deliveries, real-time tracking, and OTP-based secure delivery — an SMS one-time code that verifies the recipient before the item is handed over. That last one matters in practice: if you are not reachable on the number given at booking, the handover can stall even though the parcel has arrived in your city.
India Post numbers are consistent in shape. Of the India Post consignment numbers on the 24hTrack platform, 97% are two letters, nine digits, and then IN — the country code for an item posted in India. The opening pair reflects the product; CW, LP, EW, CX and EP are the ones seen most often.

Tracking number format: Two letters, nine digits, then IN — the country code for items posted in India. This covers 97% of India Post consignment numbers seen on the 24hTrack platform, with CW, LP, EW, CX and EP the most common opening pairs
Typical delivery time: Speed Post is India Post's express tier and is sold on a next-day promise on its dedicated network, with delivery seven days a week including Sundays and a money-back guarantee when a delivery runs late. Ordinary and registered mail moves on a slower schedule that depends heavily on distance and on whether the destination is served by a metro hub or a rural post office. Anything arriving from another country only enters India Post's network after customs, so the customs stage — not the delivery stage — is usually the long silent one.

Two letters, then nine digits, then IN — 97% of India Post numbers seen on the 24hTrack platform follow exactly that pattern. The opening two letters indicate the product, with CW, LP, EW, CX and EP appearing most often, and the IN at the end marks the item as posted in India. You will find the number on the booking receipt from the post office counter, or in the confirmation the sender or seller passed on to you.
Long gaps are normal rather than a sign the item is lost. Scans are recorded at booking, at sorting hubs and at delivery, and there can be days of travel between two of those points with nothing in between — particularly for destinations served by a rural post office rather than a metro hub. For a parcel arriving from another country, the number often shows nothing on the India side until the item has cleared customs and entered the India Post network, and that customs stage is usually the longest quiet period of the whole journey.
It is India Post's premium express product. India Post lists it with next-day delivery on a dedicated high-speed network, delivery seven days a week including Sundays, priority handling from booking to final delivery, priority air transmission, real-time tracking, a money-back guarantee for delayed deliveries, and OTP-based secure delivery, where an SMS one-time code confirms the recipient before handover. If your item was booked as Speed Post, expect more frequent scans than ordinary mail produces.
Start with the delivery scan itself: check the time and the place recorded against it, because Speed Post uses an OTP handover in which the recipient confirms receipt with a code sent by SMS, and a family member, neighbour or building security may have taken it. Paste the number above to see the full scan history on one page, including the office that made the delivery. If the record still does not match what happened, the delivering post office named on the last scan is the right place to raise it, and India Post runs a grievance and complaint process on its own site for exactly this.
