India Post Offices in Saharsa, Bihar

At the centre of the district’s postal map is the Saharsa Head Post Office, PIN 852201. It oversees 12 sub post offices and 157 branch offices, adding up to 170 post offices in Saharsa that between them cover 19 PIN codes. Each sub office and branch office sends its mail and accounts upward to this head office, so even a money order booked at a village counter is settled through Saharsa.

One block carries most of the weight. The Kahara area post offices account for the lion’s share with about 131 offices, far ahead of the Patarghat area and the Mahishi and Sonbarsa areas, which run only a handful each. Town counters at places like Bangaon, Dhabauli and Chapraon see steadier footfall, while branch offices reach villages such as Bishunpur, Gorhiari, Amarpur and Sihol.

Since branch offices make up roughly nine in ten of the total, hours out in the villages are short and can vary from one counter to the next. If you are sending something from a rural branch office, go in the morning soon after it opens rather than risking a closed shutter later in the day. Where a village counter keeps thin hours, the town sub offices in the Kahara block usually stay open longer and handle a wider range of work.

For registered items, Registered Post and international EMS are best booked at the head office or a town sub office, where staff issue proper receipts and the tracking entry is reliable. To find the exact counter for an address, the PIN code finder lists every locality, with district PINs running from 852101 and 852106 across the 852 series. Before you reach the queue, the Speed Post calculator lets you check weight slabs and charges.

The full Bihar post office directory holds every district, including another district in the state like the Araria directory. Once your item is booked anywhere in Saharsa, track its progress here with the receipt number until it is delivered.
