Sorting districts: every 3-digit PIN prefix in India
The first three digits of a PIN code are its sorting district: the mail office that sorts letters for that area. India Post's directory has 405 of them. Find which districts share yours.
What a sorting district is
A sorting district is a mail hub. Letters for every PIN code that starts with the same three digits go there first and are then sent to the delivering post office (the last three digits). A sorting district often covers one revenue district, but big cities can have their own and rural ones can cover several districts.
