India Post Offices in Padra, Vadodara

For a single taluka, 53 post offices is a lot of ground to cover, and that is what India Post keeps running across Padra. The count splits into 5 sub offices and 48 branch offices, so the network leans heavily on small village counters rather than big urban ones. Eight PIN codes carve up the area, which tells you how spread out the delivery is.

The sub offices in and around Padra town and points like Karkhadi and Ranu handle the steadier traffic, while the branch offices reach out to villages such as Chansad, Dabhasa, Ekalbara and Gametha. PIN codes like 391210, 391440 and 391450 each map to a different cluster of these settlements, so the right one depends on the exact village. Since Padra has no head office of its own, mail here is sorted and routed through the Fateganj head office in Vadodara before it moves on.

A quick word on hours: the branch offices keep shorter, less predictable counter times than the sub offices, so if you are booking Speed Post or a parcel, go early rather than late in the day. The fuller counter services tend to sit at the sub offices.

To check the exact PIN for a village, use the post office PIN code finder, and the Speed Post calculator will estimate postage before you reach the counter.
