they will be sent to the Returned Letter Office at Madras, Calcutta, Bombay, Patna or Amritsar (if not already there, according to the country of original of the article as grouped in sub-rule (1)). These Returned Letter Offices will dispose of the articles according to the instructions on the subject in the Foreign Post Manual. EXCEPTION : Articles bearing on the outside clear instruction from the senders for their delivery to the agents or representatives of the senders in India in case of non-delivery to the addresses, should not be detained but should be forwarded direct immediately to the agents or representatives for delivery. Articles which, however, do not bear such instructions but merely bear a superscription mentioning the name of the agents or representatives should be dealt with under the provisions of the above paragraph. 416. Omitted. 417. Postage due on articles issued. – When an unregistered article is redirected to the addressee or is returned to the sender it will be taxed with the postage, originally due on it, unless it be redirected to a foreign country in which case the taxing of postage will be left to the office of foreign exchange. Unpaid or insufficiently prepaid correspondence, other than letters and singly postcards, and reply postcards of which the two halves are not fully prepaid, if posted for transmission by the foreign post, will be returned to the sender. If any such article is not prepaid with postage applicable to an inland article of the same category, the sender will be required to pay double the deficiency in the internal postage. Unpaid and insufficiently prepaid foreign correspondence including letters and postcards which have been marked by the sender for dispatch by a ship which is not a mail ship will be similarly returned to the sender. NOTE 1.- See Note 1 below rule 413. NOTE 2.- See Rule 124-A of Posts and Telegraphs Manual, VolumeV 418. Stamping of R.L.O. envelopes and unregistered articles. – (1) When, according to the provisions of the preceding rule, an article not enclosed in a R.L.O. envelope is taxed, the R.L.O. date-stamp will be impressed on the article, the original “postage-due” impression remaining intact and in force; but if the “postage-due” impression has been omitted or an article, or if an article has to be taxed afresh as insufficiently paid or as a penalty for any infringement of the rules, the R.L.O. postage-due stamp will be impressed on it. If such an article is enclosed in a R.L.O. envelope, the postage-due stamp will be impressed on the envelope only. If a paid article is redirected to the addressee without being enclosed in a R.L.O. envelope, the date-stamp will be impressed on the article, but if it is enclosed in a R.L.O. envelope, the date-stamp will be impressed on the envelope only. (2) The postage-due stamp will always be impressed on the face of an article or R.L.O. envelope. 419. Refusal of senders to pay postage due. – If any article, issued from a R.L.O for delivery to the sender and realisation of the postage or any other sum taxed on it, is declined by the sender and returned to the R.L.O., the Manager will, in the first instance, issue a letter to the postmaster concerned in form R.L.O.-15. If the sender still refuses to pay the postage due, the Manager will submit the case for the orders of the Postmaster-General, who will decide whether non-official correspondence for the sender should be stopped, and if so, the necessary authority, in form R.L.O.-15(a) will be issued to the postmaster, should the sender still refuse to pay the postage, the Manager, will again submit the case to the Postmaster- General for final orders.
NOTE – In the case of sub-offices, the letters in forms R.L.O.-15 and R.L.O.-15(a) will be addressed to the sub-postmasters concerned, but will be forwarded as unpaid articles, in closed bundles made up for the respective head offices. DISPOSAL OF REGISTERED ARTICLES AND ARTICLES CONTAINING VALUABLE PROPERTY 420. Treatment of inland registered articles of the letter mail. – (1) Unclaimed inland registered articles of the letter-mail received in a R.L.O. will be disposed of by the registration clerk in the same manner as unclaimed inland unregistered articles except that (a) they will be disposed of under the supervision of the Manager (b) when redirected to the addressee or returned to the sender unopened they will be accompanied by the acknowledgements (if any) appertaining to them, and (c) when issued for delivery to the sender after having been opened in the presence of the Manager they will be enclosed in R.L.O. registered article envelopes (R.L.O.-6) and despatched under the original Nos. assigned to them by the office of posting. When the No. Slip R.P.-39, R.P.-40, R.P.-41 or R.P.- 41(a) pasted to the registered article is torn or illegible, it will be replaced by a corresponding No. slip by the R.L.O. The names and addresses of the senders of registered articles will be recorded in the last column of the register of registered articles and articles containing valuable property received. (2) Refused inland registered articles, received in the R.L.O. will be opened by the registration clerk, and if sufficient information as to the addresses of the senders can be obtained by an examination of the contents, the articles will be issued for delivery enclosed in R.L.O. registered article envelopes, in the same manner as unclaimed registered articles. If this information cannot be obtained, they will be treated as Returned articles and placed in deposit. (3) If a registered article on being opened is found to contain currency notes or other articles of value, an inventory (R.L.O.-22) of the contents will be made by the registration clerk, which after being examined and signed by the Manager, should be placed in the registered article envelope with the article. (4) If a registered article be refused by the sender, it will be placed in deposit with other Returned articles. NOTE 1.- Note 3 below Rule 413 applies also to this rule. NOTE 2.- The Postmaster-General may authorise the maintenance of registered and parcel abstracts (RP-33 and RP-8) in R.L.Os. and, when these abstracts are maintained, the Manager must check daily the entries in the registered and parcel abstracts with the relevant registered and parcel lists etc. The abstracts should be signed by the Manager in the space provided in token of having exercised this check. 421. Treatment of foreign registered articles of the letter-mail. – (1) Unclaimed foreign registered articles of the letter mail received in a Returned Letter Office will not be opened but every endeavour will be made by consulting books of reference, etc., to trace the addressees of the unclaimed articles. If the addressees cannot be traced the articles will be sent to the appropriate Returned Letter Office where they will be disposed of according to the instructions on the subject in the Foreign Post Manual. (2) All foreign registered articles of the letter mail which are refused, or the addressees of which are dead or have left India without leaving instructions as to the disposal of their correspondence, must be disposed of in the same way at once. (3) If the addressees of foreign inward registered articles of the letter mail do not take delivery of such articles on presentation but request that they should be kept in deposit till called
