Delhi Post Offices Temporarily Closed for Digital Upgrade Today
Many post offices across Delhi are shut today, Monday, July 21, 2025, as the Department of Posts rolls out a major digital upgrade to its computer system, “Application for Post Office Transactions 2.0.” This essential downtime will help the postal network handle services faster and more securely, especially crucial during the busy Income Tax Return (ITR) filing season.
This upgrade comes at a key moment, as the deadline for filing Income Tax Returns for individuals and businesses not requiring an audit has been extended from July 31 to September 15, 2025. Recent significant changes in tax forms and stricter data checks mean more people might be heading to post offices for related services.
If you planned to visit a post office today, please note that no public transactions will take place at these locations. The department needs this time for data migration, system checks, and platform setup. Normal operations are expected to resume tomorrow, Tuesday, July 22, 2025.
The following post offices are affected by today’s closure: Aliganj, Amar Colony, Andrewsganj, C G O Complex, Dargah Sharif, Defence Colony, District Court Complex Saket, East Of Kailash Phase I, East Of Kailash, Gautam Nagar, Golf Links, Gulmohar Park, Hari Nagar Ashram, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Jungpura, Kasturba Nagar, Krishna Market, Lodi Road, Lajpat Nagar, Malviya Nagar, MMTC-STC Colony, Nehru Nagar, ND South Extension II, Panchsheel Enclave, Pragati Vihar, Pratap Market, Pushp Vihar, Sadiq Nagar, Safdarjung Air Port, Saket, Sant Nagar, Sarvodya Enclave, South Malviya Nagar, Sriniwaspuri and Jeevan Nagar Branch Office.
