Hi Devdatta, Nice find! It's all dated 2007, so it's possible the program got phased out in the intervening 12 years, or it didn't transfer over to next official in charge or so.
The attached letter from Dept of Posts, explaining that they were identifying institutions with v.high mail volume and allotting individual pincodes to them, indicates there may be more such codes created. -- Cheers, Nikhil VJ https://nikhilvj.co.in On Wed, Dec 4, 2019 at 10:33 AM Devdatta Tengshe <[email protected]> wrote: > I have finally found my Whale!! > > For a Long time, I have been searching for an example of a Pincode, which > delivers to only a specific Government Office/Institution.
