Mysore :

Getting a personal photo on a postage stamp is quite simple now with the department of posts launching ‘My Stamp’ scheme some time ago in Bangalore and Mysore.

By paying Rs.300, 12 stamps of face value of Rs.5 could be obtained in just 15 minutes by submitting a photograph. The facility is available at Central post office on Ashoka road here. There is also a facility to be photographed at the post office for which an address proof should be given.

The department has decided to offer a discount of 10% for two sheets of stamps of 12 each and 20% for 100 sheets and more.

Over 350 people are said to have already got their personal stamps printed in city.

More information could be sought on phone numbers 0821-2417303 / 2417306, according to a press release.
