India Post Pincode

What your India Post status means

India Post wording varies a little between services, but most statuses fall into these stages.

The usual stages

Booked / Registered — the article was accepted at the counter and a consignment number was issued.

In transit / Bag received / Dispatched — it is moving between sorting hubs. Each scan is a handover point.

Reached delivery office / Out for delivery — it is at your local post office and expected with the delivery staff that day.

Delivered — handed over. If it is a high-value item, the delivery staff record the recipient details.

The ones people ask about

Delivery attempted / Unsuccessful — the postman reached the address but nobody could receive the article. It usually goes back to the delivery office for another attempt.

Returned to sender / RTO — the article is travelling back to whoever booked it, normally after failed delivery or an address problem.

Status not found — the number has not been scanned yet, or it was entered with a typo. Numbers take some hours to appear after booking.
