The Department of Posts ( ) functioning under the brand name India Post ( ) , is a government operated postal system in India; it is generally referred to within India as "the post office".

The Indian Postal Service, with 155,333 post offices, is the most widely distributed post office system in the world.

The large numbers are a result of a long tradition of many disparate postal systems which were unified in the Indian Union post-Independence. Owing to this far-flung reach and its presence in

remote areas, the Indian postal service

is also involved in other services such as small savings banking and

financial services.
