## 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

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I get villages from a pincode?

Call /pincode/{pin}. The response lists the villages inside it with LGD codes; take a code to /village/{lgd} for the full record.

### How much does a pincode lookup cost with India Property Register?

Each successful call costs INR 0.40, including searches that find nothing; errors and not-found responses are free. New accounts get INR 50 of free credit, enough for about 125 calls, and top-ups are INR 500, INR 5,000 or INR 50,000 plus 18% GST.

### Can an AI agent do a pincode to village lookup?

Yes. India Property Register runs an MCP server at https://indiapropertyregister.com/mcp with tools such as ask, find_plot, get_plot, get_village_rates and list_rera_projects, and clients like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can sign in with OAuth. Tool calls are billed like API calls.

### Does Postalpincode.in return villages?

Its endpoint returns post office records for a pincode (branch type, district, division, circle, state). It does not return LGD village codes.
