India Post Offices in Shrawasti, Uttar Pradesh

Most of Shrawasti is rural, and the post network reflects that plainly. Of the 102 offices here, 95 are small branch offices sitting in villages, with seven sub offices above them. There is no head post office inside the district itself, so the chain of command runs outward: the sub and branch offices report up through the Bahraich head office, which handles the district’s main mail sorting. Between them these offices share 13 pincodes, all in the 271 band apart from one stray code.

Bhinga is the part that does most of the work. It holds more than half of the district’s offices on its own and is the obvious starting point for the post offices in Shrawasti. After Bhinga come the Ikauna and Jamunaha areas. The town of Bhinga has its own office on 271831, Gilaula sits on 271835 and Patna Malhipur on 271803. Out in the villages, places like Bhavanipur Upadhaya and Bhat Purwa Kalan are covered by branch offices nearby rather than counters of their own.

If you live near one of those branch offices, plan around their hours. Many of the smaller village offices keep short, irregular timings, and quite a few only open later in the morning, so it is safer to post in the first half of the day than to risk a closed shutter in the afternoon. Branch offices are also lightly staffed, which means a queue can build quickly even when the work is small. For anything time-sensitive, the Bhinga taluka offices and the Ikauna offices are the better bet, since Speed Post and parcel booking move faster from a sub office than from a one-window branch.

Before a trip, look up the exact code on the pincode finder and work out postage on the Speed Post calculator so you arrive ready. If you want to compare elsewhere, the Agra district directory is listed too, as another district in Uttar Pradesh. And once your Speed Post or parcel is booked, you can track it here right through to delivery.
