Mumbai: This Christmas, if you plan to send some gift by courier to your relatives in India or abroad, be prepared to shell out more by way of courier charges.
Sending off gifts to your near and dear ones during any festive season could get more expensive. This is thanks to the implementation of paying off arrears of the Sixth Pay Commission to Custom officials.
An application by Express Industry Council of India (EICI), a body that handles courier services at Mumbai international airport, filed with the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA), a demand for revision of charges has been made. Though EICI is a non-profit body, there are certain charges that it collects from customers and pays them to the government or agency which renders its services to them.
