India Post Offices in Kolkata, South Twenty Four Parganas

This is the urban part of South 24 Parganas, and the office mix reflects it. Of the 67 post offices, 65 are sub offices and only 2 are branch offices, the reverse of the rural talukas. There is no separate head office inside the taluka; mail is routed through the Tollygunge head office. Thirty-five PIN codes cover the area, one of the longest lists you will see at this level.

Those codes run densely through the 700-band, from 700008 and 700018 across to 700031, 700032 and well beyond. Because the network is almost all sub offices, you get fuller counter service across the board, including Registered Post and EMS, with longer opening hours than the village counters elsewhere. That makes most addresses here straightforward to serve from a nearby office, though hours still vary a little from one counter to the next.

The post offices in Kolkata cover localities such as Baghajatin, Bansdroni, Barisha and the Patuli township, among many others packed into these wards. With 35 codes packed into a small built-up area, neighbouring streets can carry different numbers, which trips up a lot of senders. With so many codes in play, the PIN code finder is the quickest way to tie a street to its exact office, and the postage calculator gives rates and delivery estimates up front.
