specify the snm to be remitted himself, fill in the required entries
and sign the required declaration. The sender must also enter cleaily
on the face of the article itself,
(a) in the upper left-hand corner the letters “ V. P.” followed by
an entry, in figures and words, of the amount for remittance
to himself and :
(b) in the lower left-hand corner his own name and full address.
(2) No postal article will be accepted for transmission as a value-
payable article if it is so small or so covered with writing or sealing
wax on the address-side or is otherwise made up in such a manner as
to render it impracticable to affix to the article the prescribed official
labels of the Post Office.
Explanation. —This rule does not apply to an article which
has an address label tied to it, provided that the label is not so
small or so covered with writing - on the address-side as to render
it impracticable to affix to that side the prescribed official labels
of the Post Office.
116. Manner of delivery to addressee and payment to
sender. —(1) A value-payable article will be delivered on payment by
the addressee of the amount recoverable, and on his signing a receipt
for it in the prescribed form which will be presented to him for signa
ture. The amount to be recovered from the addressee will be the sum
specified by the sender for remittance to himself plus a fee equal to the
money order fee on that sum. When this amount is recovered from
the addressee, the sum for payment to the sender will be remitted to
him by means of a money order.
(2) If the addressee of a value payable article refuses it, or if
after a notice of its arrival has been presented to him, he omits to take
delivery of the article within the time specified in the notice, it will be
returned to the sender, who will be required to pay any charges that
may be due on it, and to give a receipt for the article.
Note . — A postmaster is authorised to comply with a written
request from the sender of a value-payable article to deliver the
article to the addressee free, or to alter the sum originally specified for
remittance to himself, provided that such request is communicated
through the office of posting and that the value-payable article has not
been returned to the office of posting when the request of the sender
reaches the office of delivery.
117. Insurance of V. P. Articles.— The sender of a value-
payable registered parcel or registered letter can also insure it under
the rules relating to Insurance (see clause 96 et seq.) The value declared
for insurance need not correspond with the amount specified by the
sender for remittance to himself. Thus in the case of a waten returned
after repairs per value-payable post to its owner, the amount to be
