also known as Postal Index Number or simply Pincode, is a structured numbering system utilized by India Post for postal purposes. Consisting of 6 digits, each element of the PINcode holds specific significance. The first digit denotes the region, the second identifies the sub-region, the third pinpoints the sorting district, and the last three digits uniquely represent the post office code. Notably, India is divided into nine distinct PIN zones, contributing to the efficiency and organization of the postal system.
