A significant part of profit can be taken up by the logistics costs, particularly when using private courier services are more expensive or are not available in the remote locations. This causes companies to lose clients, delays in delivery, and retarded growth.<\/p><p>Nevertheless, there is already the most formidable logistics network in the country, which is available to pretty much any entrepreneur, and that is India Post. It covers villages, towns, and cities throughout the country with over 1.56 lakh post offices. This extensive network offers an effective and cheap alternative to MSMEs who wish to increase the market reach without adding to the operational expenses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79b22a0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"79b22a0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bed9fee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bed9fee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/india-post-for-msme-logistics\/#Download_the_Full_Guide_Our_Books\" >Download the Full Guide: Our Books<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/india-post-for-msme-logistics\/#Why_India_Post_Is_Becoming_the_First_Choice_for_Rural_Businesses\" >Why India Post Is Becoming the First Choice for Rural Businesses<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/india-post-for-msme-logistics\/#Among_the_significant_benefits_there_are\" >Among the significant benefits, there are:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/india-post-for-msme-logistics\/#Businesses_That_Benefit_the_Most_from_India_Post_Logistics\" >Businesses That Benefit the Most from India Post Logistics<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/india-post-for-msme-logistics\/#Some_typical_examples_of_businesses_that_can_be_enhanced_by_India_Post_are\" >Some typical examples of businesses that can be enhanced by India Post are:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/india-post-for-msme-logistics\/#Turn_your_budget_into_a_successful_business_plan\" >Turn your budget into a successful business plan<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/india-post-for-msme-logistics\/#Step-by-Step_Process_to_Start_Using_India_Post_for_Business\" >Step-by-Step Process to Start Using India Post for Business<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/india-post-for-msme-logistics\/#In_summary_of_the_process_of_setting_it_up\" >In summary of the process of setting, it up:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/india-post-for-msme-logistics\/#Access_Complete_Business_Plan_Project_Reports_Profiles\" >Access Complete Business Plan: Project Reports &amp;

This normally requires three to four weeks and entails several basic steps.<\/p><p>The initial one is to register your business with the Udyam Registration. This is a registration of your enterprise as an MSME and it will enable you to get government benefits and reduced logistics rates. After the registration process, the next thing is to open an account with India Post Payments Bank which is easy to collect payment and cash-on-delivery transactions.<\/p><p>Once these formalities are done, then the businesses can subscribe to the Business Parcel service of India Post.
