India Post Offices in Malappuram, Kerala

The Malappuram head office (PIN 676505) sits at the head of postal operations here, the point all the smaller offices ultimately answer to. Across the district there are 440 post offices in Malappuram, and between them they carry 106 PIN codes, one of the larger spreads of codes you’ll see at district level. Four of the offices are head offices, 100 are sub offices, and the other 336 are branch offices, so about three in four counters are small rural branches.

Offices are shared fairly evenly across the district’s administrative areas rather than packed into one taluka. The Tirur area holds the largest single share, with counters serving towns like Bettath Pudiangadi. Inland, the Nilambur belt keeps offices around Chungathara, the Perinthalmanna side covers Anamangad, and village offices look after the daily post in places such as Areekode, Edappal, Kondotty and Angadippuram.

Every sub office and branch office reports upward to the Malappuram head office, which keeps routing steady whether an item begins on the coast or up in the Nilambur hills. To look closely at one area, the Tirur post office directory and the Nilambur area listings list each office, while the Kerala post office hub brings the state together in one place.

A small tip for the inland villages: branch offices usually run short, single-counter hours, often with one person managing the whole desk, so it pays to post in the morning rather than late in the day. Counters here often open around 8:30, though the closing times vary from one office to another. If an address leaves you unsure of the code, the PIN code finder covers the whole district, the codes here run across a wide band, from 673314 through the 676 and 679 series.

For regular senders, a trader or small business mailing week to week, the larger sub and head offices handle Business and bulk Speed Post, which costs less per item than one-off bookings. Work out a likely charge first on the Speed Post rate calculator. Posting elsewhere in the state? The Ernakulam district directory is another district in Kerala. Once your article is booked, you can track your Speed Post or parcel right here using the consignment number.
