Eight digit pin code
|
| It refers to news about making PIN code of eight digits in place of present six in some selected postal zones. But PIN code system introduced in the country more than three decades ago in the year 1972 needs a complete overhaul. For instance in Delhi, PIN codes need to be reallocated with large-scale changes in PIN code boundaries where areas covered by some PIN codes have much less population/area/received postal articles while many others are comparatively too big. New PIN codes should equally divide the area covered, and PIN codes of neighbouring areas should be in serial order.
Major roads, river or railway-lines should divide new PIN code zones. Delhi Postal Circle has moved rightly by allocating 50 new exclusive PIN Codes to private and government addressees receiving maximum postal articles. Till now only Rashtrapati Bhawan with 110004 and Delhi Telephones with 110050 had such privilege. It will be better if new PIN codes with numeral '1' at fourth digit may be allotted to Rashtrapati Bhawan and Delhi Telephones to be in tune with new system.
