Frequently Asked Questions on Indian PIN Codes
Can multiple villages share the same PIN code?
Yes. A single Sub-Post Office or Branch Post Office often delivers mail across 5 to 20 surrounding hamlets or revenue villages. Therefore, all residents of those villages share the same 6-digit PIN code.
What is Out of Delivery Area (ODA) charge in couriers?
When a private courier company does not have a direct branch in a rural or hilly PIN code, they hand over the parcel to a third-party partner or charge an extra fee known as ODA surcharge (₹500 to ₹1,500). India Post does not charge ODA fees.
How many PIN codes exist in India?
There are over 19,300 active PIN codes in India, serving more than 155,000 post offices nationwide, making India Post the largest postal network in human history.
What is the PIN code for military personnel?
The Indian Army Postal Service (APS) uses Zone 9 PIN codes (starting with 90 or 99). Military addresses use 56 APO (Army Post Office) or 99 APO to protect troop operational locations.
When entering customer or vendor GSTINs, GST Munshi automatically pulls their registered postal address, PIN code, and state code with 100% accuracy. Generate compliant e-Way bills and e-Invoices with pre-calculated postal distances.
