India Post Offices in Payyannur, Kannur

Twenty PIN codes for one taluka is a lot, and Payyannur spreads its 62 post offices fairly thin to cover all of them. The mix here is 18 sub offices and 44 branch offices. There is no head office inside the taluka itself, so the registered mail and sorting flow through the Taliparamba head office before reaching the local counters.

That spread of codes reflects how scattered the addresses are, from Ezhome and Edat near the coast to Cherupuzha and Alakode further inland. Coastal villages such as Karivellur, Kunhimangalam, Cherukunnu and Korom each fall under their own code, which is why a single taluka needs so many. The PIN codes most people deal with are 670301, 670303, 670304, 670305 and 670306, though the range runs well beyond those few.

The 44 branch offices are mostly village counters, and they don’t stay open long. For Speed Post or a parcel, post in the morning while the counter is staffed; the sub offices keep steadier hours if you miss that window. The full directory of post offices in Payyannur lists each one with its code, and the PIN code finder is quicker if you only need to confirm a single number.

Before sending anything, the Speed Post rate calculator gives you the cost in a few clicks, and you can look at a sibling taluka like Iritty for comparison. After booking, track your article here using the number printed on the receipt.
