Despite the declining popularity of writing letters, there are still old souls who prefer to communicate with their loved ones via snail mail. And to ensure that the mails reach their destination without any confusion, it is important to have a standardized procedure in place. This is where the postal code and pin code come into play.
A postal code, pin code, or area postal code is a unique identifier that indicates the specific geographic location of a particular address for mail delivery purposes. It is a system of six digits that offers complete information on the location of an address. This code is used by the post offices to identify and sort mails. It also helps in tracking shipments and deliveries. It can be found on any letter that you send or receive through the post office.
The first digit of a pin code signifies one of the nine zones in India, the second digit implies a sub-zone and the third digit signifies the sorting district in the zone. The last three digits indicate the individual post offices within that district.
Depending on the country, postal codes can be tied to geographical areas and administrative boundaries in some cases, while in others, they are more free-floating. The codes can also be attached to a particular organization or a single delivery point.
