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.

Digipin is a bad idea which can lead to loss of public money to an experiment which is surely looking at a failure. The digipin is looking for compression of latitude and longitude data which is presently 7+7=14 digits to a 10 digit data. The idea is to get an unique number for every 4 X4 meter area of the country. But what this data format is forgetting is the following. 1. There is an advantage in using latitude and longitude data as it can measure distance between 2 places
2 . It is forgetting that future is about making the existing latitude and longitude data to include the height. This data is essential for drone delivery.
Hence digipin idea in present form should be reviewed to include future requirements and should align with the international norms

DIGIPIN एक अच्छा प्रयास है। इसे शुरू करने से पहले जमीनी स्तर पर एक बार टेस्ट कर लेना चाहिए अगर कुछ कमियां हो तो उसमें सुधार किया जाए।

I suggest that the Income from cold storage plants should be treated as agricultural income, that means no income tax on income from cold storage facilities. Also permit 100% depreciation in the first year of operation. This will encourage building of cold storage facilities and will allow more amounts of perishable agri products, reducing wastage of food products.
