Understanding Indian Pincodes: More Than Just Numbers

The Postal Index Number (PIN) system was introduced in India in 1972. While we use it daily for e-commerce and mail, few understand what the 6 digits actually represent.

The Pincode Structure

The first digit indicates the region, the second the sub-region, the third the sorting district, and the last three indicate the specific post office.
