India Post Offices in Malshiras, Solapur

Twelve PIN codes is a lot for one taluka, and Malshiras has them because its 53 post offices are spread over a wide stretch of villages and small towns. Nine are sub offices doing the main counter work; the other 44 are branch offices out in the rural pockets. The codes run from 413101 and 413107 around the bigger settlements down to 413324, so the right one really depends on which village you’re posting to.

There’s no head office inside the taluka. Mail for Malshiras is routed through the Pandharpur head office, which sits above the local chain. The towns most people deal with are Akluj, Natepute and Piliv, where the sub offices handle bookings comfortably. Out in villages like Borgaon, Giravi and Bhamburdi, the branch offices are small single-counter posts, so they open for shorter windows and it’s smarter to drop your mail early in the day. With nine sub offices, Malshiras has more full-service counters than many talukas its size, which helps if you live closer to one of the smaller towns.
