What is PIN Code

Postal Index Number (PIN or PIN Code) is a 6 digit code of Post Office numbering used by India Post. The PIN was introduced on August 15, 1972. There are 9 PIN regions in the country. The first 8 are geographical regions and the digit 9 is reserved for the Army Postal Service.

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 (1 in 175028) indicates one of the regions.
The first 2 digits (17 in 175028) together indicate the sub-region or one of the postal circles.
The first 3 digits (175 in 175028) together indicate a sorting or revenue district.
The last 3 digits (028 in 175028) refer to the delivery Post Office.

For example, Postal Index Number 175028 includes the Chachiot S.O office in , HIMACHAL PRADESH. 1 indicates the postal region, 17 indicates the sub-region or postal circle, 175 indicates the sorting or revenue district, and 028 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.
