Receipts, Acknowledgements, and Delivered Articles Taken from the Postman
• The Registered Assistant should perform the following checks when taking receipts and acknowledgments of delivered articles, along with returned undelivered articles: 
o Verify that the addressee or their authorized agent has signed the receipt and acknowledgment (if any) in ink.
o For delivery slips, check if the addressee or their authorized agent has signed in ink in the provided column.
o Confirm that all undelivered articles bear the postman's remark showing the reason for non-delivery, with their dated initials, and that these remarks are also recorded in the Postman’s book/delivery slip.
o For a registered article delivered to an illiterate addressee, ensure the addressee's thumb mark on the receipt/delivery slip has been attested by the postman’s signature.
o For insured articles delivered to an illiterate addressee, confirm that the thumb mark is attested by a respectable witness.
o Verify that the thumb mark/signature of a pardanashin woman is attested by an authorized agent or a respectable witness.
o For an insured article delivered to a minor, ensure the minor’s signature is attested by the person in whose care the minor is living.
o If any sum is due to be recovered on an article, check if the amount has been converted into postage stamps, affixed to the respective receipt/delivery slip, and defaced by the treasurer or authorized official. This applies to double registration fees and deficient postage for registered articles, and deficient postage and redirection fees for parcels.
• The Registration Assistant should affix their initials in the Postman book/delivery slip against the entries to acknowledge receipt of delivered articles and returned undelivered articles.
• If an acknowledgment is returned unsigned due to the addressee’s refusal to sign, it should be forwarded to the sender in the usual course with a suitable remark under the Postmaster’s signature.
• Articles addressed to "A, B care of C, D" should, whenever possible, be delivered to A, B, and only to C, D in A, B’s absence if C, D is authorized to receive them.
Attested Copies of Addressee’s Receipts
• The sender of an inland registered article may obtain an attested copy of the addressee’s receipt by applying to the post office within six months of the original receipt's signing date.
• A fee of Rs. 2.00, in the form of a postage stamp, must be affixed to the application form and defaced with the date stamp.
• The application should be forwarded to the office of delivery, where an exact copy of the addressee’s receipt will be prepared, duly attested by the Postmaster’s signature, and sent directly to the sender as a postal service.
• The copy of the receipt will also be impressed with the date stamp on which it is made, and the application bearing the prescribed fee should be filed with the addressee’s receipt already on record.
