India Post’s Department of Posts has officially rolled out the DIGIPIN (Digital Postal Index Number)—a 10‑digit alphanumeric, geocoded addressing system that can pinpoint any location within approximately a 4 × 4 metre grid .

🔍 What is DIGIPIN?

Abbreviation for Digital Postal Index Number—a unique 10‑character code tied to a grid defined by latitude & longitude .

Developed by India Post in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad, NRSC, and ISRO .

🚀 Launched On

The “Know Your DIGIPIN” portal went live on May 27, 2025, alongside a revamped “Know Your PIN Code” portal, as part of the National Geospatial Policy 2022 .

📏 What Makes It Important?

Enables precise location identification versus the broader coverage of a six‑digit PIN code .

Grid-based system improves last‑mile accuracy for logistics, emergency response, e‑commerce deliveries, and more .

Fully open‑source and interoperable, with technical documentation and source code available on GitHub .

Works offline once generated; personal data neither captured nor required .

💡How It Works

India is mapped as roughly 4 × 4 metre grids, each assigned a unique 10‑digit code derived from its precise coordinates .

Users can generate their DIGIPIN via the portal by allowing geolocation access or entering latitude & longitude .

🧭 Will It Replace the PIN Code?

No—it supplements the existing system, adding granular precision while retaining traditional addressing for legal and official use .

🏛️ Policy & Governance

DIGIPIN is being integrated under the “Address‑as‑a‑Service” (AaaS) framework in the broader DHRUVA initiative—a consent-based, interoperable digital addressing infrastructure .

Platform includes features for user feedback and continuous improvement .

✅ Why It Matters to You

Finally, no more vague directions or missed courier deliveries—just share your DIGIPIN, and services from e‑commerce to ambulances can come straight to your doorstep.

Especially useful for Ghaziabad’s rapidly expanding & densely populated neighborhoods with unstructured addresses.

2. Open it on your phone or computer.

3. Allow location access or input lat/long manually.
