India Post Offices in Rajkot, Gujarat

Mail in this part of Saurashtra has a long way to travel, and the network reflects it. The post offices in Rajkot district are spread over 11 talukas, reaching from the city counters all the way to small settlements in the Jasdan and Upleta areas. In total there are 335 offices working under 50 pincodes, all sitting under the 360 series, so an address starting with that prefix almost certainly belongs somewhere in this district.

Most of that footprint is rural. Of the 335 offices, only 2 are head post offices and 62 are sub post offices; the remaining 271 are branch offices, the small single-counter outlets that handle a village or a cluster of hamlets. Those branch offices report upward to the larger offices, which in turn route through the Gondal head post office (pincode 360311). The Rajkot taluka directory carries the most offices on its own, with the Gondal area listings close behind, and Jetpur and Jasdan adding a good share each.

The district seat sits across the central pincodes, roughly 360001 through 360006, while towns like Kotharia, Jasdan, Bhayavadar and Paddhari each have their own counters. Out in the villages you will find offices in places such as Anandpar, Ambardi and Bhadajaliya, and these are the ones to plan around. Village branch offices usually keep short hours, so if you are sending something from a small office, post it early in the day rather than late.

For anyone using these counters often, the workhorses are Registered Post for anything that needs proof of delivery and the international EMS service for overseas parcels, both handled at the sub and head offices with proper counter facilities. Speed Post moves through the same larger offices, so for time-sensitive items it helps to book from a sub office rather than a small village branch. If you need to confirm which pincode covers a particular village, the post office pincode finder is quicker than guessing, and the speed post rate calculator will give you postage before you reach the counter.
