Worst service provided by staff. No response to calls and emails. I am writing after 4 months of going in circles. They are least interested to see if phone lines are working or in order. No customer service channel to lodge complaints. They have IAS officers in key positions and none of their contact numbers are available. Spmcil s PR team is even worst than others who can never can be contacted. They should be the main escalation point. Typical government office and sad they are least productive.

The full operation for the coinage and preparation of medals, decorations and badges started in Alipore Mint from this date. In addition to production of coins for domestic use also produces coins for other nations.

This is one of the oldest Mint in West Bengal, India which produces Indian money for long time. The architecture of the old building is worth to see from outside. High security does allow to go inside the area.
