Here is a plain-language guide to common India Post scan events:
• Item Booked — The parcel has been accepted at the booking post office
• Item Bagged / Dispatched — The parcel has left the booking office
• Item Received at Hub — Arrived at an intermediate sorting facility
• Out for Delivery — The postman is on the way to your address
• Item Delivered — Successfully handed to the recipient
Delivery typically takes 1–3 working days between metro cities and 3–6 days for smaller towns or semi-urban areas. EMS international shipments usually take 7–14 days depending on customs clearance at the destination country.
"Item Not Found" generally means the consignment number has not yet been scanned into India Post's tracking system. This is common within the first 24–48 hours after booking. Wait and check again. If the status remains unchanged beyond 48 hours, contact the booking post office with your receipt.

About India Post
History of India Post
India Post traces its roots back centuries. Long before modern infrastructure, messages were carried by foot messengers and carrier pigeons. The British East India Company formalised postal routes in Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta in the 18th century.
The year 1854 was the turning point — a unified, nationwide postal system was introduced under the Government of India, giving birth to India Post as we know it today. Since then it has grown into the largest postal network on the planet.
