India Post Offices in Nalanda, Bihar

Everything in Nalanda’s postal map traces back to the Biharsharif head post office, which carries PIN code 803101. Below it sit the rest of the district’s 394 offices, organised across 53 PIN codes. Just one office holds head-office rank here; around 29 run as sub post offices that report up to Biharsharif, and the remaining 364 are branch offices scattered through the villages. With branch offices making up more than nine-tenths of the total, this is very much a rural network with a single strong centre.

The district covers 18 talukas, and the offices are shared fairly broadly rather than piled into one place. The Ekangarsarai area holds the largest count, a little over forty offices, with the Bihar taluka around Biharsharif close behind. Islampur and Hilsa each add their own clusters too. For a local view, the Ekangarsarai taluka post offices and the Bihar taluka post offices directories list what’s where.

A handful of place names show the layout. Ekangersarai (801301), Islampur (801303) and Hilsa (801302) sit at the heads of their respective talukas, while Alinagar shares the 803101 code near the district centre. Nursarai (803113) lies over toward the Noorsarai side. Out in the smaller settlements you’ll come across villages like Bargaon, Dumri, Jarkha and Partappur, each leaning on a single branch counter for its everyday post, money orders and savings deposits. Those branch offices keep short hours, often just a morning shift, so post your letters and parcels early rather than waiting until the afternoon, by which time several counters have closed for the day.

For regular and bulk senders, the post offices in Nalanda network supports Business Post and volume bookings, and the sub offices along with the Biharsharif head office are the right places to take larger batches of Speed Post.
