Pin codes, are the Indian counterpart of the American zip code and serve twofold purposes. Firstly, they help distinguish between two different states in two different zones of the country. Thus by merely noting a number, the reader understands, whether they are looking at a Mumbai or a Kolkata or a Chandigarh address.
