Post offices and pin codes - how it works

How do I find the pin code of a locality in Uttarakhand?

Pick the district below and find the locality's post office in the alphabetical list - every office page states its pin code. City localities (like Race Course or Dharampur in Dehradun) are usually sub post offices named after the locality.

What is the difference between a head, sub and branch post office?

A head post office (HO) is the district or division's main office. Sub post offices (SO) sit under it in towns and city localities. Branch post offices (BO) are small, usually single-staff offices in villages, administratively attached to a sub office nearby.

What does delivery vs non-delivery post office mean?

A delivery office has postmen who deliver mail in its area. A non-delivery office only accepts and dispatches mail; delivery for its area is handled by a nearby delivery office, which is why several localities can share one pin code.

How are Uttarakhand pin codes structured?

Uttarakhand pin codes start with 24 (Garhwal side, e.g. 248001 Dehradun GPO), 26 (Kumaon side, e.g. 263001 Nainital), and 244xxx in parts of the Terai. The first three digits identify the sorting district, the last three the delivering post office.

Can several localities share one pin code?

Yes. A pin code belongs to a delivery post office, and every locality or village that office delivers to shares the code. That is why a pin code page here can list several post offices and dozens of villages.
