My Stamp’ was introduced in the country during the World Philatelic Exhibition in 2011 in Delhi. ‘My Stamp’ has two parts - the value part having a regular postage stamp and the personalized part which could be a thumbnail photograph of the customer, logos of institutions, images of artwork, heritage buildings, famous tourist places, historical cities, wildlife, animals and birds etc. The personalized part only is not a legally valid stamp.

So far 12,17,496 ‘My Stamps’ have been prepared/issued.
