India Post “Misrouted” — Meaning
The item was accidentally sent to the wrong sorting hub or office.
What “Misrouted” means
“Misrouted” means your article was mistakenly sent to the wrong sorting hub or post office. It is a routing error, not a loss — the item is redirected to the correct facility, which can add a day or two to delivery.
What happens next
Item Dispatched / Item Received as it is re-routed correctly.
Tip: No action needed immediately; if it persists for several days, contact the booking office.
