PIN stands for Postal Index Number and this code is a 6-digit code that is used by the Indian Postal Service to make the process of delivering parcels efficient. It was introduced on 15th August, 1972. • The first 3 digits indicate the postal district. • The last 3 digits represent the specific postal office in a district • 8 PIN regions belong to geographical locations, while the number ‘9’ is for the army.

How India solves ZIP code problem?

NativePlanet has introduced a PIN Code Search Engine Tool to ease the process of ZIP code in India. Because the country is extremely large – almost to the point of being called a subcontinent, it is not possible to remember every single ZIP code – even for shipping companies. This tool from NativePlanet is very accurate and is used to find any location in the country through little input. The tool reveals the location’s PIN code as well as the local details of any region. It is a very handy tool and has been used among many organizations and individuals who are searching for PIN codes in India.
