PIN Code stands for Postal Index Number, a 6-digit code used by India Post to identify specific post offices across the country. Introduced on August 15, 1972, the PIN code system revolutionized mail delivery in India by organizing the vast postal network into manageable zones.
The 6-digit PIN code is structured as follows: The first digit represents one of eight geographical regions in India. The second digit indicates the sub-region or state's postal circle. The third digit, combined with the first two, identifies the sorting district. The last three digits represent the specific post office within that sorting district.
