The
Postal Index Number Code System, known as the PIN Code system was
introduced in India on the 15th of August, 1972. The
objective of PIN Code is to simplify the sorting of mails, thus speed
up their transmission and delivery.
PIN Code avoids the confusion which results out of
duplication of names of various places. Correct delivery of
mails is possible if the PIN Code is written, even when the address may
be written in any language.
