India does not have a 5-digit zip code system. It uses a 6-digit postal index number (PIN) system.

ZIP is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan. It is a system used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to identify a specific geographic area or region. ZIP codes are five-digit numbers that are used to identify a particular area or region within the United States.

Also known as Zip code or area postal code, Pin code is the post office numbering code system used by the postal service of India, India Post. The PIN was first introduced in India on August 15, 1972. It is a 6 digits long code with each of the digits denoting a particular meaning.

Postal Index Number (PIN) is a 6 digit code and understanding how PIN works is simple: The first two digits of the PIN indicates the sub-region or one of the postal circles. The first three digits of the PIN indicates a sorting/revenue district. The last three digits of the PIN refer to the delivery Post Office.

A United States postal code, for example, might be either five digits or five digits followed a hyphen (dash) and another four digits (12345-1234). If you are validating US postal codes, allow for both conditions. The following rule validates a field that can be five digits, five digits + dash + 4 digits, or blank.

Postal codes are known as Postal Index Numbers (PINs; sometimes as PIN codes) in India. The PIN system was introduced on 15 August 1972 by India Post. India uses a unique six-digit code as a geographical number to identify locations in India.

Structure of Pin Code/Postal Code The first digit represents the region in India. The second digit is the sub-region, while the third digit is the sorting district. The last three digits represent the particular post office within the district.
