The personalisation is achieved by printing a thumb nail photograph of the patron interested to procure a ‘My Stamp’ sheet, images and logos of institutions, or images of artwork, heritage buildings, famous tourist places, historical cities, wildlife, other animals and birds etc., alongside the selected Commemorative Postage Stamp. ‘My Stamp’ was first introduced in India during the World Philatelic Exhibition, ‘INDIPEX-2011’. There was considerable demand for it during the exhibition and many requests to resume its printing have since been received. This enthusiasm from stamp lovers prompted India Post to extend the ‘My Stamp’ scheme to cover all Postal Circles in India. International Fleet Review 2016 Thematic ‘My Stamp’ As part of the various facilities being organised for the participants of International Fleet Review 2016 (IFR-16), the Indian Navy in liaison with India Post is going to extend the facility of ‘My Stamp’ at Visakhapatnam. The postage stamp that will be used for the ‘My Stamp’ will be the IFR-16 thematic Commemorative postage stamp, which will be released by the Honourable President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee on the 6th of Feb 2016 at the Presidential Band Concert at Visakhapatnam. The Indian Navy will be setting up two ‘My Stamp’ stalls, one each at the IFR Village and hospitality centre (slipway jetty). The cost of one ‘My Stamp’ sheet is Rs240/-.
