When is it the right choice?

Address forms: from pincode to village for rural customers

Good for

  • Address forms: from pincode to village for rural customers
  • Lending in rural areas: place a borrower's land by pincode
  • Logistics and field operations by village
  • Joining postal data to land records

Limits

  • A pincode can cover many villages and a village can span pincodes; the match is the register's mapping
  • It is not a postal delivery or serviceability check
  • The post office name comes from the register, not live India Post data
