Q: What is the format of a Pakistani postal code?

The POST CODE in Pakistan is a 5-digit numeric code (e.g., 12500 or 10040).

Q: What are the features of the Pakistani postal system?

The Pakistani postal system assigns a unique 5-digit POST CODE to a specific post office. This post office is not just a general town, but can be a main General Post Office (GPO), a standard post office in a town, or a specific large institution (like a school or factory) that handles its own mail.

Q: What does the Type field mean?

This field simply indicates if the post office delivers mail. Delivery Post Office means it does provide delivery services, and Nondelivery Post Office means it does not.

Q: What are the types of post offices?

The POST OFFICE column represents several official post office classifications. The main types you will encounter are:

• GPO (General Post Office): The main post office in a large city (e.g., BAGH GPO).
• PO (Post Office): A standard post office that provides all normal postal services (e.g., ARJA).
• TSO (Town Sub-Office): A smaller post office, typically within a town.
• NPO (Night Post Office): This is a "Night Post Office" that operates during extended hours (e.g., in the evening) for public convenience, often located at a GPO or major PO.
• Institutional Post Offices: These are locations at large organizations, like schools (ABBOTTABAD PUBLIC SCHOOL) or businesses (ADAMJEE PAPER BOARD MILLS NOWSHERA), that have their own postal code for handling their mail.
