๐Ÿ“ PIN Code Civic Profile

Type any 6-digit Indian PIN code. Get the district, post offices, and a ready-to-file RTI for civic services that should be available in your area.

Quick answer: India Post returns the district, division, region, circle, and every post office for any of the 1.5 lakh+ Indian PIN codes. We layer on civic-service questions: does the PIN have a CHC, PHC, primary school, fair-price shop? If the data is silent, we draft the RTI for you.

FAQ

Where does the PIN data come from?

India Post's official public API at api.postalpincode.in. Free, no key, updated by the Department of Posts.

Why doesn't it show hospital / school count for my PIN?

Hospital and school directories live in different APIs (NHM IPHS / UDISE+) which require a data.gov.in key. We draft an RTI for you to file in the meantime โ€” see the "Take action" panel after lookup.

Can I file RTI to the postal department?

Yes. India Post is a "public authority" under ยง2(h) of the RTI Act. PIO is the Senior Superintendent of Posts at your division. Use the template generated below.

What if the data is wrong (post office closed / moved)?

File RTI to your division asking for current operational status of the office and the 5-year history of changes. Template auto-generated.
