How to Find a Pin Code
There are a few different ways to find the pin code you're looking for, depending on what information you already have:
Search by name or number
If you know the post office name, city, district, or the pin code itself — just type it in the search box above. This is the quickest way and covers over 1,54,000 post offices across India.
Browse by state and district
Go to the home page and select your state, then district, then post office. This works well when you're not sure about the exact name but know the general area.
Use your current location
The What is my postal code tool uses your phone or computer's GPS to detect the nearest pin code automatically. Works best on mobile devices.
Find pin code using a map
The postal code map lets you click anywhere on a map to get the pin code for that location. Useful when you know where a place is but not what it's called.
What is a Pin Code?
PIN stands for Postal Index Number. It's a 6-digit number that India Post uses to identify every post office in the country. The system was introduced on 15 August 1972 to make mail sorting easier — since many places in India share the same name, a unique number helps ensure your letter reaches the right destination.
How the 6 digits break down
| Digit | Meaning | Example (110001) |
|---|---|---|
| 1st digit | Postal zone (1 of 9 regions) | 1 = Northern region |
| 2nd digit | Sub-zone within the region | 11 = Delhi |
| 3rd digit | Sorting district | 110 = New Delhi sorting |
| Last 3 digits | Specific delivery post office | 001 = Connaught Place |
