How MOTHER TERESA - 15 Rs. Aero.

India Post issued a new Aerogramme of Rs.15.00 on 01.03.2009 with stamp design of Mother Teresa. Four such Aerogrammes were posted to Germany in March 2009, which did not leave India, but came back to sender on 09.04.09 with a rubber-stamp instruction :
RETURN TO SENDER
Total Postage required Rs.15/-...................................
Please affix deficiency of Postage stamps and Re-Post
Three of these Aerogrammes with rubber-stamp instruction were sent by Registered Post to Videsh Dak Bhavan, Mumbai; who did right thing by sending Mother Teresa Aerogrammes to Germany and confirmed the details vide their Regd. Letter dated 29.07.09.

I was searching if IndiaPost had issued any Aerogramme with a denomination of 15Rs. Thank you for sharing the information that I needed. The story is also entertaining. :-D
