Chennai district PIN code FAQs

How many PIN codes are in Chennai district?

83 PIN codes are listed for Chennai, Tamil Nadu, covering 156 post offices.

What is the head post office of Chennai?

Chennai G.P.O. (PIN 600001), Ambattur HO (PIN 600053), Anna Road H.O (PIN 600002), Mylapore H.O (PIN 600004), Park Town H.O (PIN 600003) and 2 others. Remember that addresses use the PIN code of their local delivery office, not the head office.

Why do several post offices in Chennai share one PIN code?

A PIN code belongs to a delivery area, not a single building. Branch offices in villages use the code of the sub office they report to, so a single code can cover several villages.

How do I find my exact PIN code in Chennai?

Search your village, locality or post office name in the table above, or use the current-location detector for the code at your exact spot.
