India Post Offices in Uttar Pradesh

No other state comes close to Uttar Pradesh on sheer postal scale. India Post runs 17,669 post offices here, spread across 74 districts and 355 talukas, and the addresses behind them break down into 2,382 PIN codes. If you have ever wondered why mail in UP can route through so many small places you have never heard of, this is the reason: the network reaches deep into the countryside, not just the big towns.

That reach shows up clearly in the office-type mix. There are 70 head post offices doing the heavy administrative lifting, 2,427 sub offices handling the district and town-level work, and a striking 15,171 branch offices. Branch offices are about 86 percent of everything in the state, and they are the ones that turn up in a single-street village or a market crossing. For most people sending or receiving registered post in rural UP, a branch office is the actual point of contact. The 2,382 PIN codes layered over these offices are what keep all that volume sorted, so a letter knows which of the hundreds of nearby offices it actually belongs to.

The district numbers reflect the eastern belt’s density. Gorakhpur is the largest in the state with 452 offices, followed closely by Allahabad at 442 and Azamgarh at 439. Sitapur (428) and Jaunpur (397) round out the upper end. You can see the pattern: these are not the flashiest cities, but they carry huge rural populations, and each one needs hundreds of counters to cover its villages.

Registered post and EMS Speed Post matter a lot across this network. A lot of UP residents rely on registered letters for legal notices, documents, and official correspondence, and the system was built so that even a remote branch office can book and deliver tracked items. If you are mailing something that needs proof of delivery, the chances are good that both the sending and receiving office sit somewhere in this list of more than seventeen thousand. With 355 talukas in play, the routing can be roundabout, but the tracking number stays the same the whole way, which is exactly why people send the important stuff registered rather than by ordinary post.

To find the right office, the simplest route is to pick your district from the grid below this section and drill down from there. If you only need a PIN code, the post office PIN code finder is faster than guessing, and the Speed Post calculator will give you a price before you reach the counter. You can also browse post offices in Uttar Pradesh by their busiest district, Gorakhpur, or step up to the national post offices hub to compare states.
