Goodbye Pin Codes, DIGIPIN is Here! All You Need to Know about the New Digital Addressing in India
New Delhi | June 5, 2025 —
India has taken a revolutionary leap in location identification with the launch of DIGIPIN, a digital address system developed by the Department of Posts in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad and ISRO’s NRSC. This system assigns a unique 10-character alphanumeric code to every 4-metre by 4-metre square across the country, enabling ultra-precise addressing unlike anything the current pincode system offers.

DIGIPIN (Digital PIN) is a geospatial address that maps exact coordinates (latitude and longitude) into a 10-character code. This geocoded solution allows users to pinpoint their home, office, or establishment within a few metres, ensuring delivery accuracy and faster emergency response.

India Post has ensured DIGIPIN’s offline usability and made the programming logic public, allowing developers and service providers to integrate it into logistics, civic, and navigation systems.
| Feature | Pincode | DIGIPIN |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Broad area/locality | Exact 4m x 4m location |
| Address Components | Depends on streets, area | Purely geolocation-based |
| Personalisation | General area-level | Unique to specific physical point |
| Utility | Postal sorting | E-commerce, emergency, governance |
While your existing postal address remains valid, DIGIPIN is envisioned as a complementary digital layer—one that could eventually make street names and house numbers optional for many service providers.
