Here’s a great gift to all the Indians from the postal department. Soon, the India Post will start a new ‘My Stamp’ scheme where enthusiasts can get their selfies and other important photographs imprinted on postage stamps. This new facility will be made available at all the head post offices across India by year-end.
“A photograph will be scanned to get it converted into a postage stamp. In case one does not have photos, then it will be clicked by the equipment on the spot,” said a senior post master. A sheet of ‘My Stamp’ will cost about Rs 300 and it will contain 12 personalized Rs 5 postage stamps.
What’s more? These selfie postage stamps could also be used for sending letters to friends and relatives. Apparently, this ‘My Stamp’ facility has already been introduced in several countries successfully. In India, this scheme was launched formally for the first time during the World Philatelic Exhibition in New Delhi in 2011.
