India Post Offices in Maduranthakam, Kancheepuram

For a taluka of this size, 68 post offices is a lot of ground covered. Most of those are small branch counters out in the villages, with 59 branch offices doing the day-to-day work and 9 sub offices handling the heavier counter business in the larger settlements. Mail across the area moves under the Chengalpattu head office, which is where bookings get sorted before they head onward.

The 16 PIN codes spread the taluka out quite a bit. Acharapakkam, Karunguli and Madurantakam town itself sit at the centre, while smaller places like Budur, Erumbedu and Kiliyanagar are served by branch offices that often keep shorter hours. If you are posting from one of these village counters, it helps to go in the morning rather than late afternoon, since collections happen earlier in rural rounds. PIN codes here run from 603107 and 603111 through to 603301 and 603302, so it is worth checking the exact code before you write an address.

Speed Post and ordinary parcels are booked at the sub offices without trouble, and the branch offices can take most everyday items too. To find the right counter, the Kancheepuram district post office directory lists every office, and the PIN code finder confirms which code belongs to which village. Working out postage in advance is easy with the Speed Post rate calculator, and if you are comparing routes, the neighbouring Chengalpattu taluka page covers the head office area.
