# Pincode finder

> Type a pincode to see its post offices, district and state, or search a place name to find its pincode.

An Indian pincode has six digits. The first is the region, the first two the postal circle (roughly the state), the first three the sorting district.

The list is India Post's All India Pincode Directory from the government open data platform.

## Why does one pincode have many post offices?

A head or sub post office and the branch offices it serves share one pincode.
