India Post — bank cheque received via speed post has been lost by india post - ek[protected]in

Hi,

Date of incident: 09/11/2017
Date of post dispatch: 20/10/2017
Date of delivery (Although i have not received it): 02/11/2017
Content of the package: it returns via cheque through income tax dept.

I received my income tax refund (Amounting to more than 50k inr) via cheque and the department had sent it through speed post. However when i check the status of the post it was saying that it was delivered but it is not. I checked with the postman who was on duty that day (Responsible for delivering the package) and he is not sure which floor he has delivered it to.

When i checked the document (That the post office maintains which requires the receiver signature on it at the time of delivery) it seems that the post man himself has signed it. I am attaching the screenshot of the document here for the readers reference. You can see in the document (Last entry in the list - name: adarshraj ballal) someone has signed it in the black ink ball point pen and it resembles (The color and the way "2" has been written below the signature for date reference) the entries shown above the my name in the list. The delivery address was my office and the security here makes sure that they seal this document but you can see that my entry doesn't. Again the postman has no clue whom or which place did he deliver my post.

Its my humble request to the reader to help me solve this issue and if at all possible - help me locate my package.
