What is the India Pincode Finder?
This is a free tool for finding Indian pincodes (PIN codes). Search a locality, village, town or post office to get its 6-digit pincode, or enter a pincode to see every post office and area that uses it. It covers all states and union territories, with about 19,000 pincodes and over 155,000 post offices and localities.
It helps with online shopping and courier delivery, bank and KYC forms, passport and visa applications, exam and job forms, and any website that asks for an Indian address.
How to find a pincode in India
- Place to pincode: choose “Place → Pincode”, type a locality, town or post office such as Connaught Place, Andheri or Salt Lake, and optionally narrow it with the state menu.
- Pincode to places: choose “Pincode → Places” and type a full pincode like 110001, or the first digits like 4000 to list every match.
- Copy the pincode, or open the area on a map to check it.
For the pincode of a specific address, you can also use India Post's own Search PIN Code tool.
How Indian pincodes work
PIN stands for Postal Index Number. India Post introduced the six-digit PIN code on 15 August 1972 to make sorting mail easier, and each pincode has exactly six digits with no hyphen or letters, for example 110001.
Reading the digits
The first digit points to a postal region: 1 is Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Chandigarh, 2 is Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, 3 is Rajasthan, Gujarat and Daman and Diu, 4 is Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, 5 is Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka, 6 is Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Lakshadweep, 7 is West Bengal, Odisha and the north-east, and 8 is Bihar and Jharkhand. The first two digits show the sub-region, the first three show the sorting district, and the last three identify the delivery post office. A first digit of 9 is reserved for the Army Postal Service.
One pincode, many places
A pincode usually covers several villages, localities or branch post offices. That is why searching a pincode can list many places, and why a locality name can share its pincode with its neighbours.
Writing an Indian address
The usual order is house or building, street, locality, city or district and state, then the pincode, for example: 12 Example Road, Connaught Place, New Delhi, Delhi 110001.
