I've been searching the web and these forums for the Post Restante address in Calcutta... does anybody have it? I'd be really grateful if you could post the full address up here.

Many thanks!

Indeed you are right, thanks for the reply. Of course after I had lost the will to live trying to find it and finally posted this message I found it on my next round of searching. The precise details are as follows

Surname should be in capital letters and UNDERLINED.

The address is:

Poste Restante,
GPO,
Dalhousie Square (BBD Bagh),
Calcutta
700 001.

Parcels and letters should be securely sealed.

In fact I believe you can normally use any post office as your poste restante address, just by having people add "poste restante" to their letters (it just means roughly "mail to remain"). But if this is the centrally designated one, sure, use that.
