New Delhi: The era of PIN codes, which were the attraction of postal addresses, is over, and the Indian Postal Department has introduced a digital address called ‘DigiPIN’ as an alternative. DIGIPIN will be the new address system in the country from now on. While traditional PIN codes cover a wide area, the 10-digit DigiPIN system represents the exact location of your home or business. Let’s know what are the differences between PIN code and DigiPIN.
The Indian Postal Department has introduced the DIGIPIN system to understand the exact location. DigiPIN has a 10-digit digital code. Instead of the traditional pin code, which covered a wide area, the DigiPIN will provide precise location information. That is, the exact location of your home or business can be found through this DigiPIN. You can find your home by visiting the government website designated for creating a DigiPIN and finding the code. The advantage of DigiPIN is that it will deliver correspondence to the right place and help emergency services such as ambulances and fire departments to reach it accurately by understanding the location. It is hoped that DigiPIN will be beneficial in remote areas including rural areas.
It is claimed that DigiPIN will be able to deliver parcels to the right location not only for correspondence, but also for e-commerce websites.
How to find your Digipin?
The government website https://dac.indiapost.gov.in/mydigipin/home has been prepared to find your Digipin. By visiting this website and clicking on the location you have found, you can find out your 10-digit Digipin. What makes Digipin different from other address systems is that you can know your exact location within a radius of four meters. India Post has developed a geocoded digital address system called Digipin in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad, NRSC and ISRO. Digipin can also be used offline.
