Considering widespread network of courier-service in the country, the Union Government should frame some guidelines for courier services such asmaking registration of courier-service with Union Ministry of Communications compulsory. Timings should also be fixed for courier delivery so as to not disturb to residents.

The addressee should be made aware of dispatch-date by making it compulsory for courier-agencies to print date of receipt by courier-agency with the courier-number.

Courier-services should also leave a message-slip for the undelivered courier to enable the addressee to take delivery of documents in case of his/her unavailability at the address.
