PIN Code and its Structure

The Postal Index Number (PIN) is a unique 6-digit code introduced in India on August 15, 1972. It serves as the final piece of information in an address, streamlining mail delivery. For instance, the PIN code 247002 corresponds to PTC Sub Post Office in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The code's structure includes eight regions, sub-regions, and revenue districts that simplify sorting, reduce confusion between similarly named places, and enhance service efficiency. Understanding the significance of the digits in a PIN is crucial for effective postal services.
