Is shipment to any Village possible in India?
It is completed to communicate the business information with village people receding in hamlets and villages located in remote areas in India. These villages are unaware of the Technology available now a day to get the information through electronic mail (e-mail) with the help of Internet. Few of the business people would have dealers in these corners and want to expand their business with these people, but the communication is the main hindrance even though telephone communication establishes the starting up the relation but for promoting the products have to sent their Product catalogue, Discount Schemes on Seasonal Sales, Advance Booking etc.
Availability of Private Courier Service Providers would not be available in every nook and corner of our country as it is cost effective for them to establish infrastructure where no customers are available. Hence we need to go for the alternative solution that Indian Postal Service, with this we can send our Documents and Parcels to the hamlets, and villages where we can’t get such service from the Private Courier Service Providers.
Indeed, i was in a situation to sent the Book Scheme documents to all the distributors, most of them are located in village areas. There is no service of DTDC or Professional, hence i had to send through Indian Postal Service. But, the insisted me for the PIN Code of the villages. This this procedure helped me a lot to finish the work.
PIN Code is Mandatory
In most of the Private Courier Service Provider PIN Code is not mandatory as they can recognize with District name, but where as if we sent through Indian Post then it is must to provide the PIN Code of the shipment destination. Why they ask the PIN Code? The answer is for swift delivery and accuracy of the delivery of shipment. If you are consigning to a rural area it quite mandatory to provide the PIN Code otherwise they would not book. Even they book there is no guaranty to trace out the address exactly.
How to Search the PIN Code – PINCode Search in India Post
Hence, we must search the PIN Code of the village. The Indian Postal Department has launched website portal page PINCode Search to track the PIN Code of your destination places and even the dispatching from place. You can search any area PIN Code of Indian Country from PIN Code Search Portal or even you can directly find this Tool in the Home page of the Indian Postal Website.
Suppose here i want to search for a village named Rajoli and i need the PIN Code for this purpose So here i am searching the PIN Code in India Postal website page IndiaPost.Gov.In/Pin/. And here you have three types of Searching facilities
Don’t know Anything about the Location
If you have only the Village or City name and you have to find with that then the first screen will help you to find the PIN Code. When ever your enter the Name of the location it will show the list of Matched Post Offices against your criteria and corresponding PIN Codes and name of the District related to. But in some situations there might be more than one oven two places would be available across the country located in difference states or district. Then you would be in dilemma to know the exact match of your location then you have to go with the section search with the name of the District
Aware of District Name
If select the District option in the screen it will show you a Dropdown Box to select the District name in which it is available and search with the name of the place. Then you will get the exact PIN code. Even if you don’t the the District Name and aware of the State located the final search option is explained below.
Aware of State Name
In the last case you can select State option to search your location PIN Code by selecting the State name from the Dropdown Box.
You can find the PIN Code of a village either directly from Google Search but it is recommended to go with the India Post website as it is reliable as the database is maintained by the Indian Government Department.
