India Post Offices in Murshidabad, West Bengal

Murshidabad keeps a large postal footprint, with 574 India Post offices serving 96 pin codes. The striking thing is the spread: those offices are scattered across 26 talukas, among the highest counts you will find in West Bengal. The district works through three Head Post Offices, with Berhampore (742101) as the main one, supported by 78 Sub Post Offices and 493 Branch Offices. Branch offices account for roughly 86 percent of the network, which is why so much of the day-to-day handling happens right inside the villages.

With coverage divided across so many talukas, no one area runs away with it. Khargram holds the most offices, around 56, followed by the Berhampore area, then Sagardighi and Kandi, and the remaining talukas share the rest in smaller batches. The Khargram area post offices are a useful entry point, while the Berhampore area offices sit closest to the district head office. Sub and branch offices across the district report up to the Berhampore head office, which manages the heavier sorting and onward dispatch before mail leaves for other districts.

The list of places shows the usual rural mix. Larger points like Khargram, Manigram and the Aurangabad area sit beside small village offices such as Andulia, Aminabad, Bachhara and Babaltali. Since most of these are branch offices, their counters generally run short, single-shift hours. The sensible habit is to post early in the day from a village office, because the daily mail closes before evening and a late drop usually moves only the following day.

Most of the district falls in the 742 pin series. Berhampore town and its inner offices run from 742101 through 742102, 742103 and 742104, with 742113 covering nearby points, and the higher numbers stretch out to the talukas further from town. If you send regular volumes, the sub and head offices handle bulk and business Speed Post, which helps traders, shops and offices that book in batches rather than posting one item at a time. You can check the exact code for any village with the pin code finder, and work out charges beforehand using the Speed Post rate calculator so you know the cost before you reach the counter.
