In year 2004, India Post introduced special stout envelopes for safe transit of Rakhies, as the normal paper envelopes are likely to get torn. Various postal circles in India introduced their own version of envelopes with different designs. To maintain uniformity in quality and specifications throughout the country India Post introduced Premium Rakhi Envelopes in four designs on 14.07.2006. New envelopes are of tear and water resistant besides very light to keep the Rakhi mail within the basic weight limit, as far as possible. The envelopes were priced at Rs 5 each exclusive of normal postal charges. From 2007 onwards it has become regular practice to issue Rakhi Envelopes either in same design or in different designs.
This year design of 2 varieties are same as of 2012, 2013 but the minor change is in address block. Border of the block is thinner and the price has been increased to Rs. 7.50 ( Postage Extra ).
Rakhi Cover with advertisement of BSNL Broadband on reverse side is also reported.
