India Post Offices in Basti, Uttar Pradesh

At the top of the Basti postal chain is the district head post office on PIN 272001, and every sub and branch office ultimately reports up to it. Below that head office run thirty sub post offices and a much larger body of village branch offices, giving the district its full count of 264 post offices in Basti. Those offices are organised across 34 PIN codes, most of them in the familiar 272 series.

The clear leader in office numbers is Harraiya. The Harraiya taluka offices account for around 115 offices, more than any other part of the district, with the Basti taluka directory following at roughly 97. Bhanpur and Rudhauli make up smaller but still meaningful clusters, so most of the district’s load sits with those two leading talukas. Towns such as Amorha, Asnahra, Babhnan and Hanumanganj act as local anchors, while delivery threads out to villages like Belbharia, Bharwalia, Kashipur and Dhari Ghat, many of which lean on a single counter for their post.

Most of those rural offices are branch offices, 233 of the 264, which is the backbone of how post actually reaches people here. The trade-off is that branch offices keep shorter and somewhat irregular hours, often running on a part-day schedule, so it makes sense to hand in your post early in the day rather than turning up in the afternoon and finding the counter already shut. Picking the right PIN matters too: codes such as 271305, 271310, 271312 and 271313 cover outlying pockets, while 272001 stays with the head office in the town.

For anyone sending in volume, traders, shops, or offices posting regular batches, the head office and the larger sub offices are the better counters for Business and bulk Speed Post, since they handle the paperwork and weights that come with steady dispatch. The postage cost calculator helps you budget a run of articles in advance, and the PIN code finder confirms the exact code for a given village.
