The Department of Posts is advancing an initiative to establish a standardized, geo-coded addressing system in India, for ensuring simplified addressing solutions for citizen-centric delivery of public and private services. In this regard, the Department had collaborated with IIT Hyderabad for developing a National Addressing Grid, named as Digital Postal Index Number (DIGIPIN). This system will act as a strong and robust pillar of Geospatial Governance, leading to enhancements in public service delivery, faster emergency response and a significant boost to logistics efficiency.

The DIGIPIN layer will act as the addressing reference system which can be used for logically locating addresses with directional properties built into it due to the logical naming pattern followed in its construction.

The DIGIPIN is proposed to be fully available in the public domain and can be easily accessed by everyone. The DIGIPIN Grid system being an addressing referencing system, can be used as the base layer for other ecosystems, including various service providers and utilities, where addressing is one of the processes in the workflow.

This system will act as a strong and robust pillar of Geospatial Governance, leading to enhancements in public service delivery, faster emergency response and a significant boost to logistics efficiency.

The advent of DIGIPIN will mark a revolutionary step in India’s journey towards digital transformation by bridging the crucial gap between physical locations and their digital representation.

The Department has released a beta version of National Addressing Grid ‘DIGIPIN’ on 19.07.2024 for public feedback, the details of which may be accessed through the India Post website: https://www.indiapost.gov.in/vas/Pages/digipin.aspx

The Department of Post in collaboration with MyGov cordially invites you to explore the beta platform and provide constructive feedback, which will help in fine tuning the specifications of the DIGIPIN.

Considering all projects whether Zorawar or planes. We are facing engine issues and hence we are missing our deadline.
We should make a dedicated PSU or SPV or engine corridor where every type of engine to be designed, develop and manufactured with all testing facilities like ISRO or DRDO.
Engines are heart of our economy and security like Chip industries.

Other government based institutions should also be able to use the same APIs for integration and multiple cases like finding out addresses of citizens

Public institutions like income tax can use the system to integrate personal and business institutions account to provide its address to government

Once all types of accounts which are working in income tax will provide their own DIGIPIN addresses, with yearly submission. in this way, the government will have verified addresses from other sources, and it will get populated into this central database.

Additional use cases with external third-party systems after integrating and searching for addresses. For example, delivery based companies like Amazon or Flipkart can use DIGIPIN to search for customers and their addresses, And because the users have submitted their address with identity in their tax returns, third-party companies can get verified information that this address belongs to this specific customer

This system should have capability to expose for external integrations via API, which are using industry standards. The system should be created in a way where the external companies like Google maps or Apple Maps or any other navigation based company should be able to query this database and find locations to houses.

This will enable third-party vendors like blinkit or any other company which provides delivery services to find its customers and citizens.

The system should be able to integrate with due location based applications like Google maps and Apple Maps or any other open standard

It should also provide capability for its use by third-party vendors who provide B2C use cases

Is there any thought on Privacy and security aspects as the code can be accessed decoded by anyone and can track the IP address by anyone , Is there any governance on how DIGPIN has to be used and the legal side of not using this for right purpose . Need more tighter cyber laws when enabling the digital world and privacy concerns DIGIPIN is a PII information, all the existing laws to store the PII has to be added for this data .

First of all, the name DIGIPIN is to be renamed as INDIPIN (Indian Digital Postal Index Number). The longitude and latitude measurements are not advisable to be represented with 2-9 Numbers and ALPHABETS. The DIGIPIN pattern is partially identical with the existing PINCODE pattern. For the new design (DIGIPIN / INDIPIN) the existing 6-digit PINCODE can be redesigned to 10-digit / 12-digit INDIPIN. The PINCODE can be suffixed with Area Code (Division Number of City / Ward Number of Town / Block Number of Village) and Survey Number (as per local revenue records). The DIGIPIN / INDIPIN so entered in the public domain will locate the exact location of the area with the help of longitude and latitude. For example, 534-006-24-0134. In the above DIGIPIN / INDIPIN pattern, the First 3-digits represents Region-District-Mail Route. Next 3-digits represents post office number (as per Dept of Posts records). Next 2-digit / 3-digit represents area code. Last 4-digit / 3-digit is the Survey Number.
