DIGIPIN Explained: India’s New Digital Addressing System

The Department of Posts has introduced DIGIPIN—a new digital addressing system designed to accurately identify individual property locations. Developed in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad and ISRO’s National Remote Sensing Centre, DIGIPIN aims to enhance location accuracy far beyond traditional PIN codes.

What Is DIGIPIN?

DIGIPIN stands for Digital Postal Index Number. It is a unique 10-character alphanumeric code that pinpoints an exact location within a 4×4 meter area using latitude and longitude coordinates. Unlike standard PIN codes, which represent large regions, DIGIPIN offers grid-based precision for each specific spot on the map.

This open-source and interoperable system supports the Department of Posts’ goal of offering Address-as-a-Service (AaaS), providing accurate address data for individuals, businesses, and government bodies.

How to Generate Your DIGIPIN

To find your DIGIPIN:

  • Visit the official portal: Know Your DIGIPIN
  • Locate your residence on the map and generate your DIGIPIN.

You’ll need a device with GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) capabilities to detect your exact coordinates. These coordinates are then converted into your unique DIGIPIN.

An official app is also in development to make the process easier. Additionally, the programming interface for DIGIPIN will be publicly available for integration and decoding purposes.

How Is It Different from a PIN Code?

Traditional PIN codes cover entire regions or neighborhoods, while DIGIPIN provides accuracy down to a specific 4m x 4m location. This level of precision supports better delivery services, emergency response, and location-based planning.

Will It Replace Existing Addresses?

No. DIGIPIN is not a replacement for traditional addresses. It works as an additional digital layer that improves precision. While conventional addresses rely on area names and house numbers, DIGIPIN uses geospatial data to link directly to a spot on the map.

Is Personal Information Required?

No personal data is needed to generate a DIGIPIN. It is based solely on geolocation (latitude and longitude), ensuring user privacy and security.
