India Post Offices in Anand, Gujarat

The Anand head post office, on pincode 388001, is the point everything else in the district feeds into. It is the one head office for the area, and the rest of the network, 61 sub offices and 209 village branch offices, reports up through it. That makes 271 offices in all, spread across 68 pincodes, with the branch offices doing most of the everyday delivery work in the smaller villages.

Coverage is fairly even across the district rather than piled into a single town. The Borsad area carries the most offices of any taluka, but Khambhat, Petlad and the Anand Rural belt are not far behind, so several parts of the district hold real counter strength. You will find offices in places like Khambhat, Petlad, Tarapur (388180) and the Borsad-side village of Alarsa (388543), while the Bhalej office near Umreth sits on 388205. Smaller settlements such as Adas, Agas, Bedva and Changada each keep their own branch counter, which is what reaches the outlying farms and hamlets.

A word on hours, since most of these post offices in Anand are village branch units. Branch offices tend to open from a single window and close earlier than the town offices, so for booking or collecting anything time-bound, get there in the morning rather than the afternoon. The sub offices and the head office at Anand stay open longer and take on the heavier work, including registered articles and parcels. If you send in volume, the business and bulk Speed Post counters at the larger offices are the ones to use, handy for the many small dairy-belt traders and shops that mail out regularly from this district.

To look up an exact office or code, the Gujarat post office directory lists them district by district, and you can open the Borsad taluka post offices or the Khambhat area offices from there. Not sure which pincode applies? The pincode finder will confirm it. Work out postage before you go with the Speed Post rate calculator, and if you want to compare another district in Gujarat, the Ahmadabad district directory covers it the same way.
