A PIN Code (Postal Index Number) is a 6-digit code in the Indian post office system. Introduced in 1972, the system ensures efficient mail sorting and delivery across Bharat. The first digit represents the Region, the second indicates the Postal Circle, and the third digit combined with the first two identifies the Sorting District. Auditing the PIN code is vital for KYC compliance, e-commerce logistics, and accurate address verification for financial documentation.
