India Post Offices in Alinagar, Darbhanga

Postal reach in Alinagar is built almost completely around village counters. Every one of the 20 India Post offices here is a branch office; there isn’t a single sub office, which tells you the network was designed to put a counter inside the settlements rather than concentrate it in one town. Villages such as Andauli, Ghanshyampur, Gorkha and Dadpatti each fall under these small offices.

The taluka carries nine PIN codes, more than you might expect for its size. Some addresses near the Darbhanga edge use 846010, while the rest of Alinagar sorts under codes like 847201, 847204 and 847304. There is no head office inside the taluka, so Speed Post, registered mail and parcel bookings for the area are processed through the Laheriasarai head office.

With branch offices doing all the work, opening hours run short and differ between villages, so it pays to reach the counter early. The post offices in Alinagar take Speed Post and parcels in addition to the usual savings and money-order services. If you’re unsure which code an address needs, the PIN code finder settles it, and the Speed Post rate calculator shows the charge before you pay. The Darbhanga district directory lists every office, and you can also look at Bahadurpur taluka. Posted something today? Track your India Post item whenever you like.
