Now, say goodbye to the hassle of writing long addresses while sending mail or courier. India Post has launched the 10-digit DigiPIN system, making delivery easier and more accurate than ever. Once you create a DigiPIN, you will not need to type your name or full address. Simply entering this code will ensure that your mail reaches its correct destination. This technology turns your location into a tiny micro-grid, creating a unique code that works almost like a live location tracker. Problems such as incorrect addresses, returned couriers, or missed deliveries will be greatly reduced with this system. Let us tell you how you can create your own Digipin.
What is Digipin?
DigiPin is a 10-digit smart location code that uniquely identifies your home or office by turning it into a 4-meter x 4-meter micro-grid. It is more accurate than regular addresses because it does not depend on street names, turns or landmarks. This system finds your exact location by reading your latitude and longitude. This is why services like mail, courier or ambulance can reach your location directly without deviating the way. This code proves to be very useful in areas where there are no house numbers or where it is always difficult to find addresses. It does not include any personal information, only location. Therefore, it is completely safe and fine from privacy point of view.
How to create a Digipin?
Making a Digipin is very easy. First of all, visit the website of the Postal Department. Select your location, and the system will generate a unique 10-digit code based on that location. You can save it, share it as a QR code, and use it when sending mail or courier. The best part is that once the code is generated, it works even without an internet connection.
The Postal Department is also launching a separate app for its postmen. They will simply scan the DigiPin and be taken straight to the right location. Problems like getting lost on the road or taking repeated trips due to wrong address will be eliminated to a great extent. This will speed up delivery and significantly reduce the number of lost or returned packages.
