Patna Collectoriate Sub Post Office

Nice Work place with Uncivilized environment & unmaintained buildings..

The General Post Office, Patna (abbreviation GPO, commonly known as the Patna GPO) is a British Raj building located in Patna, Bihar, India. It is the central post office of the city of Patna and the headquarters of India Post's Bihar Circle. It is located on the intersection of Buddh Marg and New Market Station Road. The post office handles most of the city's inbound and outbound mails and parcels. As of 2017, GPO Patna delivers 1 lakh letters and parcels daily through 96 postmen. It also has more than 12 lakh savings accounts.

The building was designed by New Zealand-born architect Joseph Fearis Munnings. The GPO campus also houses the office of the Chief Postmaster General for Bihar Circle. The construction of building started in 1912 and was completed in 1917. The building was opened to public in 1917 and was then known as Post and Telegraph Office. The building was part of the New Patna that British established in 1912 after the division of Bihar and Orissa from Bengal Presidency. The post office celebrated its centenary year in 2017.

The building is a flat roofed, plastered brick building featuring Chhajja. The building also has Mughal features as when built, it was located on the edge of the old city of Patna and was on the road leading from old city to the new capital city of Patna. It also features an arcade.
The original structure had three porticoes - north, south and east. East portico functioned as the main entrance. The western flank was added later. The ground floor has seven rooms and four halls with counter areas. The first floor houses 14 halls which are quite huge in size. The chief postmaster's office is now located in the central portion, while the deputy postmaster's office is located underneath it.

Do the service fast.

Wow! How should I start bashing this Post office. I visited this post office on 11 August 2021, and applied for opening a savings account. They ask me to come after 1 week to receive my passbook and receipt ( which they didn't give at the time of depositing 1000 rs for opening new account ). I went after a week, Post Master sir asked me to come after 3 days coz the staff is on leave. Still no problem. I went after a week again they started their excuses again and it goes 4 times more. Then I one day I told them if you will not give my passbook I will sit and study here only and then they open my account. It took me 2 months to open a account in collectoriate post office. I will be the most happiest person if post office will be privatized 😂😂 phir gaand mai dal lena apna babu culture 🤬
