A PIN code (Postal Index Number) is a 6-digit code used by India Post to identify post offices across India. Introduced in 1972, PIN codes help in efficient mail sorting and delivery. The first digit indicates the region, the second indicates the sub-region, the third indicates the sorting district, and the last three digits identify the individual post office.
