India Post Offices in Samastipur, Bihar

The Samastipur head post office, at PIN 848101, is the one office the whole district leans on. Below it sit the sub offices and branch offices that report up the chain, and the three together add up to 476 post offices in Samastipur covering 65 PIN codes. The single head office is joined by 39 sub offices and a large 436 branch offices, which tells you most of this is rural delivery work.

One taluka does most of the heavy lifting here. The Samastipur taluka alone holds the bulk of the offices, far ahead of areas such as Hasanpur, Singhia and Patori. You can see this clearly in the Samastipur taluka post offices, while smaller pockets like the Hasanpur area run a handful each. Towns including Dalsinghsarai, Bithan and Baghra have their own offices, and branch offices reach villages such as Banauli, Chakwa and Bhojpatti.

Because so many of these are village branch offices, hours tend to be short. A branch office may run a single shift, so post anything important in the morning rather than risking a closed shutter in the afternoon. Counter timings vary, with several offices opening from 09:00. The larger sub offices and the head office hold longer hours and handle the wider range of work.

Most addresses in the district fall under the 848 PIN family, with the town offices clustered around 848101 and the rural codes spreading out from there. A single branch office often serves several hamlets under one code, which is why people end up asking which office actually covers their village. Getting that right before you post saves a lot of back-and-forth, since an article addressed to the wrong office can sit waiting for redirection.

For traders and anyone sending regularly, the bigger offices manage business and bulk Speed Post, which is handy when the same consignments go out week after week. To find which office covers a particular village, the PIN code finder is the quickest route, and the Speed Post cost calculator gives you the rate up front.

The full list lives in the Bihar post office directory. If you want to look at another district in Bihar, there is the Araria directory as well. Once your parcel is booked, you can track your Speed Post with the number on the receipt.
