How DIGIPIN Works
DIGIPIN (Digital PIN) is India Post's innovative system that converts geographical coordinates into a compact 10-character alphanumeric code. This system makes location sharing more convenient and secure across India.
Encoding Process:
The system uses a 4x4 grid of characters to encode coordinates. Each character represents a specific quadrant of the current geographical area. The process repeats 10 times, progressively narrowing down the location with each iteration.
Geographic Coverage:
DIGIPIN covers the entire geographical area of India, with latitude ranging from 2.5° to 38.5° and longitude from 63.5° to 99.5°. This ensures comprehensive coverage of all Indian locations.

- Emergency Services: Rapid location sharing in emergency situations
- Travel & Navigation: Easy location sharing for travel planning
- E-commerce: Simplified address management for online orders
- Field Operations: Efficient location tracking for field workers
Benefits:
- Compact: 10 characters vs traditional coordinate formats
- Human-readable: Easy to read, write, and share
- Secure: Reduces exposure of exact coordinates
- Standardized: Consistent format across India
- Offline-capable: Works without internet connectivity
