This blog is understandable guide to postal codes in 114 regions in the city of Rawalpindi.

What are a Postal Code and Why Does It Matter?

A postal code is a simple number that enables one to sort out the mail and packages and it is used to indicate where mail or the packages should be delivered. Imagine that a gps is just like a pin on the map which allows postal services, couriers and even Google maps find out where you exactly are.

The reason people use postal codes are:

  • They assist with the sorting of mails, quicker and more
  • They help the delivery riders and couriers to locate your location without the
  • They are utilized by businesses to calculate delivery times and prices and the area of service.
  • They are applied in online forms to ensure that your address is matched
  • In case of need, emergency forces such as ambulance or fire services can easily find places.


With the crowded areas and the existence of places with similar names in the Rawalpindi city such codes prevent confusion. You can be sending your friend a letter, or opting to get something online in both cases you put on the address the correct code so that it can reach the intended person without wasting time.

The Postal Codes Origin

The concept of the code-based mail handling commenced nearly a hundred years ago. Ukraine was the first to have a go at it in 1932 followed by Germany. In 1963, the U.S. popularized the use of postal codes with the introduction of the ZIP codes which is an abbreviation of Zone Improvement Plan. In 1988, Pakistan became a participant of the system. Since the cities became larger, in particular Rawalpindi, now it did not suffice to have one common code. In such way, Rawalpindi became to have own central code 46000, and numerous other codes of particular neighborhoods and areas.

Why Rawalpindi Can Not Be Resolved with A Single Postal Code

Rawalpindi is massive more than 5,200 square kilometers of houses, shopping centers, business offices, and military areas. You just cannot have a postal code such as 46000 to serve such a big city. The different areas should have unique number to prevent confusion. Suppose a person resides in Bahria Town and he or she has postal code 46220 whereas a person is working in Chaklala Air Field with postal code 46210. In a similar way, when you have papers to send to Rawalpindi High Court, the code is 46610. These codes make everything organized and effective.

Other Country Case Examples

Postal codes are used in other countries just as they are used by us and even more, some countries have even gone ahead to advance it:

  • USA: they engage in ZIP+4 in which additional numbers facilitate the identification of a specific street or building.
  • UK: they are so specific their code is SW1A 1AA, none other than the Buckingham Palace!
  • Japan: They use both addresses and Japanese writings. By comparison, the system of codes used in Pakistan of five digits is simplistic but it works and it can be expanded.

  • Courier businesses such as TCS, Leopards
  • Online shops such as Daraz or Food Panda to determine the coverage of
  • Census planning and emergencies management government
  • The common citizens when they complete forms, make orders or just write a return

Digital Age Postal Codes

With the beginning of online world, fast delivery, and real-time tracking, no one knows the importance of postal codes like now. An erroneous code would have your package delivered to the other side of town or and this is worse the other side of the city. Such services as the UMS Overnight provided by the Pakistan post presently are offering in- city expedited delivery in such categories like Rawalpindi with barcode visiting and SMS tracking services along with the facility of confirmation of booking. It is an indication that even conventional services are becoming online.

Pakistan Post could achieve major enhancements with regards to how quick and secure it is with more mapping, digital postal code locators, and smart systems like that of the US or Japan.

Issues on Awareness of Postal Codes

There are still rather many popular problems, which people have to encounter in Rawalpindi even in spite of the encryption related to postal codes:

Putting 46000 against each address: Many residents will simply put 46000 on everything where as their residential locality should have its own code. This results in lost time or parcels which go out of tracks.

New residential zones that are not on the lists yet: Such popular living areas as the DHA Rawalpindi, Gulshanabad, and some of the Bahria Town extensions are not found on the official lists yet. This brings confusion to senders and delivery personnel.

Lack of postal map: There is just no proper postal map of Rawalpindi and it does not clearly indicate which code corresponds to which area. This is very frustrating particularly when new residence is going to update their address.

Problem with Post Office names and local Area names: In some places the Post Office name appears (such as College Road PO), although most residents call them by local area names (such as just College Road). This has the potential of making errors when filling forms or even making deliveries.
