PIN Code Lookup

A six-digit Postal Index Number is how India Post sorts mail. This lookup asks our server to query the India Post PIN directory — not a random blog table — and the sample 560001 is Bengaluru GPO / the well-known Bengaluru city pin. Type only a PIN, never an Aadhaar, and never a delivery OTP.

A number you need in a queue

Ecommerce returns, GST place-of-supply guesses, and wedding cards in small-town Assam all fail on a wrong PIN. IndiaKit’s live PIN tool exists so 560001, 400001 (Mumbai) and 110001 (New Delhi) can be checked against the postal directory rather than memory.

How the lookup or formula runs

Enter a 6-digit PIN. The server looks it up in the India Post directory feed we configured. 560001 should resolve to Bengaluru (Bangalore) postal details as the directory lists them.

Some PINs cover several offices; the directory may return more than one office name. Village renaming and new PINs lag in every dataset.

560001, Bengaluru

A seller in Pune verifies a Bengaluru address by typing 560001. The lookup, via IndiaKit’s backend to the India Post PIN directory, should show Bengaluru. She still reads the office name on the card; a tech park in Whitefield may use a different six-digit code.

What we do not store

Directory data can lag new offices. Not a GPS geocoder. Official: indiapost.gov.in. Never enter identity numbers or OTPs.

Common questions

Is 560001 the only Bengaluru PIN?

No. Bengaluru has many PINs (for example Whitefield, Jayanagar, Yelahanka). 560001 is the sample because it is the well-known GPO-associated city code.

Do you use Google Maps for this?

No. The article and the live path are the India Post PIN directory via our backend.

Can I look up a PIN by typing a house address?

This field is the six-digit PIN, not a free-text address search. Use India Post’s own tools if you need reverse lookup by office name.
