Discover Indian Pin Codes:

The Pin Code, or Postal Index Number (PIN), is an essential component of India's postal network, providing unique 6-digit identifiers to post offices across the country. Introduced on August 15, 1972, the PIN system streamlines mail sorting and delivery, ensuring accurate parcel and letter distribution.

Differentiating PIN Code and ZIP Code Systems

While similar in function, India's PIN Code system and the USA's ZIP Code system have distinct characteristics. India's PIN Code consists of 6 digits, providing detailed geographic information for precise mail delivery, whereas the ZIP Code system utilizes 5 digits for a broader regional classification.

Understanding PIN Code Structure

The PIN system organizes India into 9 specific regions, with each 6-digit code holding significant meaning:

The first digit designates the geographical region.
The second digit signifies the postal circle or sub-region.
The third digit allocates to the sorting district.
The last 3 digits collectively identify the precise post office within the district.
