    8. Bihar, Jharkhand
    9. Army Post office (APO) and Field post office (FPO)
    Sorting District
    The first three digits of the PIN represent a specific geographical region called a sorting district that is
    headquartered at the main post office of the largest city and is known as the sorting office. A state may
    have one or more sorting districts depending on the volumes of mail handled.
    Service Route
    The fourth digit represents the route on which a Delivery office is located in the sorting district. This is 0
    for offices in the core area of the sorting district.
    Delivery Office
    The last two digits represent the delivery office within the sorting district starting from 01 which would be
    the GPO or HO. The numbering of the delivery office is done chronologically with higher numbers
    assigned to newer delivery offices. If the volume of mails handled at a delivery office is too large, a new
    delivery office is created and the next available PIN is assigned. Thus two delivery offices situated next to
    each other will only have the first four digits in common. 781027
