All are above stamps related to above Pincode number and booked speed post in GPO(GPO Pincode 110001) .  

I am collecting combination theme on covers or cards. So i think it is very opted combination cover to my theme.

Rashtrapati Bhavan Post Office 

And i went to Rashtrapati Bhavan Post office. It is inside of Rashtrapati Bhavan campus.

 Gate No.30 only allowed to visit this post office. 

One Post Box inside of post office Building 

This Post office building inaugurated by former President Shri Pranab Mugarajee.

In this post office has Permanent Pictorial cancellation of Rashtrapati Bhavan Building image.

And I got Rashtrapati Bhavan Permanent Pictorial cancellation on very opted Rashtripathi Bhawan commemorative joint issued stamp.

Cancellation not clear, because cancelled by Post Master . Some Professional  postman only doing Proper  cancellation of PPC

Another one post box I seen in campus of Rashtrapati Bhavan .

Red Fort 

And I went to Red Fort with many Hurdles. Philatelic Gallery building is inside of the Red Fort . This Gallery now very modernized. 

I took video coverage of  Philatelic Gallery & uploaded in you tube . YouTube link attached in this link , Pls Watch the video & give your comments on YouTube.

      In this Philatelic Gallery have one PPC. In this PPC depict the  Redfort. I got PPC cancellation below this envelope cover. This envelope cover, i have already affixed Red Fort related two commemorative stamps for my combination theme. Actually this Philatelic gallery has not  book any speed post or Registered post. And important one,  no Post box in this gallery campus. If you need this PPC postaly to be use. You come out the Redfort campus, and go to nearest post office.  Actually I went Philatelic gallery @ 4.30 pm on Saturday. So all post office speed post  or register post booking closed earlier.  So Philatelic gallery staff told me , you go to Sansad Marg HPO it will accept speed post accept upto 7.00pm. So i Went to Sansad Marg HPO by Metro train . I booked this envelope cover by speed post in Sansad Marg HPO. 

This Philatelic Gallery building commemorated by Special cover on 23.11.2023.  In this special cover , i additionaly affixed Redfort stamp & got PPC of Red Fort. This PPC dated on 23.12.2023. Date same : 23 ( Month only differ ). Stamp & cancellation is same.  It is very perfect good combination cover in my collection.
