India Post Offices in Patan, Gujarat

Patan spreads a long way across north Gujarat, and its postal network stretches with it. The district holds 271 offices in total, but they sit under just 26 pincodes, so each code tends to cover a sizeable patch of ground with several villages sharing it. The Patan head post office, on 384265, is the single head office for the district; under it run 29 sub offices and 241 village branch offices, and that branch-office count is what carries letters and parcels out to the scattered settlements.

The spread across the district is reasonably balanced. The Saraswati area edges ahead on office count, with Patan, Sami and Sidhpur close behind, so postal strength is shared across several talukas rather than concentrated in one. You will come across offices in towns like Sami (384245), Chanasma (384220) and Santalpur (385350), along with Balisana (384110) on the Patan side and the Saraswati-area village of Sariyad (384272). Smaller places such as Charup, Borsan, Dethli and Dantisana each have their own branch counter, which is how the outlying villages stay connected.

Since most of these post offices in Patan are village branch offices, a practical tip helps. Branch units usually run a single counter and many open early, around 8 in the morning, then close well before a town office would, so post anything time-sensitive in the first half of the day. The sub offices and the Patan head office keep longer hours and handle the fuller workload, including registered post and parcels. For anyone mailing regularly, the business and bulk Speed Post counters at the larger offices are worth knowing, useful for traders and small businesses sending out in volume.

To find a specific office or check a code, the Gujarat post office directory lists everything by district, and from there you can open the Saraswati taluka post offices or the Patan taluka offices.
