'Post Office Bill 2023' has been passed by Rajya Sabha in December, 2023.
It will replace the Indian Post Office Act, 1898.
Lok Sabha has already passed this bill.
These bills are part of the Centre's plan to repeal all obsolete laws or pre-independence acts.
The Post Office Bill will allow Central Government authorities to stop, seize or detain any articles and deliver them to the Customs authority.
Now the Director General of Indian Post will have the authority to make rules as well as fix fees for services.
The Central Government may, by issue of notification, empower any officer to intercept or intercept goods/parcels being sent by post in the interest of the security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States, emergency or public safety.
