Govt. to send lost items back free of cost.??

[diskaon]

I got this by email from my bro-in-law.
Is this true or someone pulling a fast one..

Has anyone heard of this? any news clipping reference would be good.



*New Law by Government of India **

If you find any important documents like Driving License, Ration Card,
Passport, Bank Passbook, Voter's Card etc. that is missed by someone; simply
put them into nearby post boxes.

“They will be delivered to the owner and postal fee or fine will be
collected from them”. **

Pass on this useful information! *

this leads to one question - what should a good citizen do if he finds someones lost documents?

For free ?? Then the post man will charge a bribe for delivering it or the lost thing will be damaged/broken/not in condition to use due to negligent handling !

if you post them with paying for the p&p you can be sure some one will misuse it.

In the U.S. in the "old days" (1950's-60's) this was the accepted norm. Stuff was returned to you free.
Now, I don't think I'd trust our benovelent leaders.
