Department of Post, under the Ministry of Communications, launched the innovative digital platforms ‘Know Your DIGIPIN’ and ‘Know Your PIN Code’ on May 27, 2025, as part of its mission to modernise India’s address infrastructure. These initiatives aim to enhance location accuracy, improve last-mile delivery, and support disaster response systems by integrating advanced geospatial technologies. Developed in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad and NRSC-ISRO, these tools align with the National Geospatial Policy 2022 and are central to the Address-as-a-Service (AaaS) framework. By leveraging GNSS data and a geo-coded grid system, these applications represent a significant step in India’s digital and governance transformation.
