Pincode Finder
The Indian Pincode system was introduced by India Post in 1972 to simplify mail sorting and delivery. It is a 6-digit numeric code where:
- 1st digit represents the zone (e.g., 6 for southern region).
- 2nd digit indicates the sub-zone or state.
- 3rd digit together with the first two forms the sorting district.
- Last 3 digits represent the individual post office.
This structure helps streamline postal operations and ensures fast and accurate mail delivery.
- Incorrect spelling of the city or locality.
- Too specific (e.g., street names may not work).
- API limitation: Not every region is included in public data.
- Try only city or town name (like Chennai or Pune).
This tool allows you to search Indian pincodes by area or city name using real-time data. It is built using:
- HTML5 + Bootstrap for responsive layout
- JavaScript to capture input and display results
Just type a city (e.g., "Mumbai", "Kolkata", "Guindy") and hit Find Pincode. The results will show all related post offices and their pincodes.
Tips for Accurate Pincode Searches
- 🔍 Start with the main city or town name, not street names (e.g., use "Chennai", not "Anna Nagar").
- 📌 Avoid abbreviations or short forms (write "Mumbai" instead of "Bom").
- 🔠 Check for correct spelling and avoid typos — even small errors may yield no results.
- 🌐 Results are based on official India Post records, so try using the **administrative name** of the location.
Additional Information
- ✔️ Data sourced from India Post’s open API.
- ✔️ Updated regularly.
- ✔️ Accuracy may vary by locality name.
Try entering just the city or main town if a detailed name doesn't work.
