India Post Offices in Iritty, Kannur

Iritty’s 57 post offices fan out across 11 PIN codes, which suits a taluka that climbs into the hill villages east of Kannur. Seven of those offices are sub offices and the other 50 are branch offices, so the network leans heavily on small rural counters. The codes sit in the 670 band, with numbers like 670703 around the town and 670674 out toward the higher villages.

Iritty has no head office of its own. Its mail, registered articles and bulk bookings are routed through the Thalassery head office before they come back to the local counters. The larger offices serve centres like Iritty, Kiliyanthara and Payam, while branch offices in villages such as Chavassery, Manathana, Muzhakkunnu and Padiyoor reach the scattered settlements up in the Kottiyur direction.

Since branch offices make up most of the network, their hours are short and not uniform, so posting early in the day is sensible. Up in the hill villages, a single morning shift is common, and an afternoon trip can leave you facing a shuttered counter. For businesses sending Speed Post in volume, the sub offices are the better starting point, since they handle bulk bookings more readily than a small village branch. To confirm the PIN for a particular village, the PIN code finder is the fastest route, and the Speed Post calculator gives you the rate up front.
