Kolkata, West Bengal's capital and eastern India's largest city, is served by 218 post offices primarily in the 700001–700160 range under the West Bengal postal circle. The heart of the network is Kolkata GPO at BBD Bagh (700001), a neoclassical 1868 building designed by Walter L. B. Granville on the site of the original Fort William. All central pincodes begin with 700; a handful of Army Postal Service codes push the technical range higher.
What is the pincode range for Kolkata?
Kolkata — known as Calcutta until 2001 — is the capital of West Bengal and served as the capital of British India until 1911, when the seat of government shifted to Delhi. The city remains eastern India's largest commercial, cultural, and postal hub, with a metropolitan population exceeding 14 million. It is served by 218 post offices under the West Bengal postal circle, which also covers the Himalayan district of Darjeeling, the gangetic plains of West Bengal, Sikkim, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Kolkata's postal network is among the oldest in the country — Kolkata GPO has operated on its present BBD Bagh site since 1868. Delivery coverage spans the colonial Maidan core, the Park Street commercial spine, the Salt Lake planned township, and the extended southern belt toward Tollygunge.
How are pincodes structured in Kolkata?
Kolkata pincodes cluster geographically within the 700 range. The colonial core — BBD Bagh (formerly Dalhousie Square), Esplanade, Strand Road — uses 700001 and 700016, with Kolkata GPO at 700001. The central commercial belt including Park Street, Camac Street, and Shakespeare Sarani occupies 700016 to 700017. Ballygunge, Alipore, and Bhowanipore cover 700019 and 700020 in the upscale south. The Salt Lake / Bidhannagar planned township uses 700064 to 700098, reflecting its post-1960s construction. North Kolkata — Shyambazar, Manicktala, and the older bustees — runs 700003 to 700037. Tollygunge, Behala, and the southern expansion belt reach up to 700160. Howrah across the Hooghly River is a separate city and uses the 711xxx range — not included in this Kolkata listing.
Kolkata GPO at BBD Bagh is a neoclassical landmark built between 1864 and 1868 by Walter L. B. Granville, the consulting architect to the Government of India. Its 220-foot central dome rises from an octagonal base supported by 28 Corinthian pillars. The building stands on the historic site of the original Fort William and remains the head post office for the West Bengal postal circle.

How do I find the right pincode for my area in Kolkata?
- Type the area name or the first 2–3 digits of a pincode into the filter above. The list narrows as you type — numbers match pincode prefixes, letters match area names.
- Read the post office type column. Head offices (H.O) handle registered and speed post, sub offices (S.O) cover most day-to-day delivery, and branch offices (B.O) serve smaller localities.
- For time-sensitive or registered mail, verify the pincode against your full address on indiapost.gov.in before dispatch, especially for addresses on the boundary between two post offices.
Frequently asked questions about Kolkata pincodes
Why is Kolkata GPO considered one of India's most architecturally significant post offices?
Kolkata GPO, opened on 2 October 1868, stands out for its sheer scale and classical detailing. Walter L. B. Granville's neoclassical design features a 220-foot central dome on an octagonal base, ringed by 28 Corinthian pillars — one of the largest colonial-era domes in India. The GPO was built on the historic site of the original Fort William, bringing civic importance to its postal function. It remains an architecturally protected structure and is treated as a heritage landmark in Kolkata's urban fabric.
Why is Howrah not included in this Kolkata pincode list?
Howrah is a separate municipal corporation across the Hooghly River and uses the 711xxx pincode range, distinct from Kolkata's 700xxx range. Although the Howrah Bridge physically connects the two cities and they share a greater metropolitan area, they are treated as separate urban local bodies with independent postal sub-networks under the West Bengal postal circle. For Howrah addresses — including the Howrah railway terminus — use the 711xxx codes, which appear in our separate Howrah listing rather than here.
What do Kolkata's 7000xx vs 7001xx pincodes represent?
The 7000xx codes cover central and traditional Kolkata — BBD Bagh (700001), Park Street (700016), Ballygunge (700019), Bhowanipore (700020), and older residential belts like Shyambazar (700004) and Tollygunge (700033). The 7001xx codes identify newer and peripheral zones: Behala (700034) stretches west, while Salt Lake Sector V (700091), New Town, and Rajarhat take 700156 and beyond. The split reflects Kolkata's post-independence expansion — the planned Salt Lake township and IT-focused New Town added during the 1960s and post-2000 eras got their own pincode clusters.
How large is Salt Lake's pincode area compared to old Kolkata?
Salt Lake (officially Bidhannagar) — a planned township built on reclaimed wetlands — has its own cluster of pincodes covering 700064 to 700098 across its residential sectors (Sectors 1, 2, 3, and 5). This is comparable in geographic size to parts of old Kolkata south of the Park Street axis, but with a much lower housing density. Sector V at 700091 anchors the IT park district and hosts campuses for TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, and Infosys. New Town and Rajarhat extend Kolkata's newer footprint further east under 700156 and adjacent codes.
Does the West Bengal postal circle cover only Kolkata?
No. The West Bengal postal circle — headquartered at Yogayog Bhawan on Chittaranjan Avenue in Kolkata — covers the entire state of West Bengal plus Sikkim and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Its geographic spread is unusually varied for an Indian postal circle: Himalayan hill stations like Darjeeling (734xxx), the gangetic plains (7xxxxx ranges), the Sundarbans delta, and the island territories of Andaman (744xxx) all fall under the same administrative circle despite being in dramatically different climates and terrains.
Does this pincode lookup store my searches?
