India Post Offices in Punalur, Kollam

For a single taluka in Kollam, the network here is fairly dense: 52 India Post offices in all, split between 9 sub offices and 43 branch offices. Those numbers tell you what kind of place this is. The branch offices, more than four out of five of the total, sit out in the smaller settlements and handle the day-to-day post for villages like Kulathupuzha, Edamulackal, Karavaloor and Arienkavu.

The 13 PIN codes covering this area mostly run in the 691 series, with 691306, 691307, 691308, 691309 and 691310 among the ones you’ll come across in and around the main town and places such as Anchal, Ayur and Edamon. A couple of edge codes fall outside that band, which happens where taluka boundaries meet neighbouring delivery zones. If you’re unsure which one applies to a specific address, the PIN code finder will sort it out faster than guessing.

Punalur taluka does not have its own head office, so its mail is sorted and routed through the Punalur head office before moving on. Branch counters in the villages tend to keep short hours and close early, so it pays to drop off Registered Post or EMS items in the morning rather than late afternoon. Sub offices in the bigger towns offer the fuller range of counter services.

You’ll find the complete list, with addresses and contact details, on the Kollam district post office hub, and you can compare the layout against Karunagappally taluka if your sending route crosses both.
