India Post Offices in Chittur, Palakkad

Chittur spreads its 67 post offices across 23 PIN codes, which is a wide range for a single taluka. The mix is fairly even by Kerala standards: 23 sub offices alongside 44 branch offices. That balance means a good number of counters offer fuller service rather than the bare-bones hours you find in more rural talukas, though the branch offices in the smaller villages still close early, so timing your visit helps.

There’s no head office inside Chittur. Mail booked here is routed through the Palakkad head office, which sorts and sends it onward, a routine setup that keeps the local counters focused on day-to-day work. The sub offices, all 23 of them, handle the heavier lifting, including bulk and business Speed Post for anyone sending in volume. With sub and branch offices in roughly equal measure, you’re rarely far from a counter that offers more than the basics.

To find the right counter, the post offices in Chittur sit in places like Nemmara, Kollengode, Eruthempathy and Kozhinjampara, with town offices around Ayalur, Ettanur and Kakkayur. The taluka also reaches up toward the hills around Nelliyampathy, so addresses can be more scattered than the office count suggests. PIN codes worth noting include 678101, 678102, 678104, 678501 and 678502; you can confirm any address against the PIN code finder and work out cost on the Speed Post calculator.
