Get the details of the area from Pincode

This gives relevant information like Circle Name, Region Name, Division Name, Office Name, Pincode, Office Type, Delivery, District, State Name. The PIN Code is made up of four parts:

• The first digit (6 in 685501) indicates one of the regions.
• The first 2 digits (68 in 685501) together indicate the sub-region or one of the postal circles.
• The first 3 digits (685 in 685501) together indicate a sorting or revenue district.
• The last 3 digits (501 in 685501) refer to the delivery Post Office.

For example, Postal Index Number 685501 includes the Elappara S.O office in , KERALA. 6 indicates the postal region, 68 indicates the sub-region or postal circle, 685 indicates the sorting or revenue district, and 501 identifies the delivery post office within that area.

Each PIN is mapped to exactly one delivery post office which receives all the mail to be delivered to one or lower offices within its jurisdiction, all of which share the same code. The delivery office can either be a General Post Office (GPO), a head office (HO), or a sub-office (SO) which are usually located in urban areas. The post from the delivery office is sorted and routed to other delivery offices for a different PIN or to one of the relevant sub-offices or branch offices for the same PIN. Branch offices (BOs) are located in rural areas and have limited postal services.
