Chennai PIN Code List — Tamil Nadu

Chennai is covered by 83 PIN codes and 156 post offices in India Post's directory, spread across Chennai district of Tamil Nadu. The codes run from 600001 to 600125 — every Chennai city PIN code starts with 600. Find your area or post office in the table below, or detect the PIN code for where you are standing right now.

The Chennai network is made up of 7 head post offices, 139 sub post offices and 10 branch post offices. 82 offices deliver mail to addresses, while 74 offices are counter-only, non-delivery offices — you can post letters or use savings services there, but mail for that area is delivered by a neighbouring delivery office. For an address, always use the PIN code of the delivery office that serves the street.

Mail in Chennai is administered through Chennai G.P.O. (600001), Ambattur HO (600053), Anna Road H.O (600002), Mylapore H.O (600004) and 3 others. India Post groups the city's offices into 6 postal divisions: Anna Road H.O Division, Chennai City Central Division, Chennai City North Division, Chennai City South Division, Chennai GPO Division and Tambaram Division.

People search for this in a few different ways — the Chennai pincode, the Chennai pin code list, the postal code of Chennai or even the Chennai zip code. They all mean the six-digit India Post PIN code for an address in Chennai, and there is no single one for the whole city: each delivery post office has its own. If you only know you are somewhere in Chennai, use the current-location detector instead of guessing from a city-wide range.
