Hi all,
It seems that some of the spellings of names of villages/ places in Goa and probably elsewhere, are wrong; as a result that when I filled in 'Cavelossim' in the search space of the site mentioned below, namely: indiapost.gov.in/pinsearch1.asp it came up with 'not found'! Then I tried 'cav' ; it took me to three places in Maharastra and UP. Oh my God!
After having tried the site mentioned by Fred, namely: amchegoa.com/pin_code_goa.htm I found it in the list! I then realised that the name of the village has been wrongly spelled: 'cavalasim' instead of cavelossim in the India Post site, thus rendering the search useless!
Will somebody in Goa try and bring this to the notice of the India Post website and the Indian Post Office to correct this and all such errors fortwith; since the parameter of 'name spelling' is of crucial inportance in the search. This is thereason why I had suggested that it is the job of the Post Office and the state agencies to popularise the codes locally and encourage and enforce their use in each and every mail item. This is the only way ti get the full benefit of the postal code regime. The people must be told of the purpose and benefits of using postal codes, on addresses. I bet some postal employees themselves do not know the extant and purpose of these codes. Whither India!
