India Post Offices in Datia, Madhya Pradesh

Most of the postal work in Datia happens in the villages, and that shows in the numbers. The district runs 124 offices across 12 pincodes, and the great majority of them are small branch counters scattered through the rural blocks. India Post is often the only delivery service that reaches these settlements, which is why the network leans so heavily towards the smaller offices.

Datia does not have a head post office of its own. Instead, the post offices in Datia route their mail through the Lashkar head office, over in the Gwalior area, so longer-distance dispatch is handled outside the district line. Within the district there are twelve sub post offices and 112 branch offices, with no head office in between. PIN codes here sit mainly in the 475 range, from Datia Bada Bazar on 475661 to Bhandair on 475335, with Unnao on 475671 and Indergarh on 475675 each holding their own codes. Across the district those 12 pincodes are what you will be matching addresses against.

The offices are split fairly evenly across six talukas. The Datia block has the most counters of any single area, and the Bhander area is close behind, with the Indergarh and Seondha blocks filling out the rest. In the villages, which is where most of these counters sit, the work goes through branch offices, places like Aser, Berachh and Durgapur, and these keep short hours. They usually open around 10 in the morning, so post early rather than waiting until the afternoon when a village counter may already have closed for the day.

For Speed Post and parcels, the sub offices in the larger towns are the more reliable choice, since branch counters handle bulky items more slowly. You can look up a code on the Datia pincode finder, check postage on the Speed Post calculator, or open the Datia block listing and the Bhander area.
