My first big mistake in shipping happened with a customer in Jodhpur. He ordered a few pieces of silver jewellery, and I confidently printed the label with "342001" – the commonly known Jodhpur GPO code. The parcel reached the city in two days, but then it sat in the post office for another five. Why? Because the customer lived in the Sardarpura area, which has its own PIN code: 342003. That ₹2000 loss taught me a lesson I never forgot. Since then, I have shipped hundreds of parcels to over 150 towns across Rajasthan – from the bustling markets of Jaipur to the remote villages of Jaisalmer. I have compiled this practical, city-wise and district‑wise guide based on real deliveries, conversations with local postmasters, and countless corrections.

Understanding Rajasthan PIN code zones (the 3x and 2x regions)
Rajasthan spans two PIN code zones: most of the state uses the 3xxxxx series (western India), while the far northern parts use 2xxxxx. Here is the pattern I have memorised:
- 302xxx – Jaipur city (most areas)
- 303xxx – Jaipur district (rural and suburban like Amber, Chomu)
- 342xxx – Jodhpur city and district
- 313xxx – Udaipur region
- 324xxx – Kota city and nearby
- 334xxx – Bikaner region
- 305xxx – Ajmer region
- 301xxx – Alwar, Behror (northern part, close to Delhi NCR)
- 311xxx – Bhilwara region
Once you know the first three digits, you can often identify the city without checking the full code.
Jaipur – the Pink City and its many PIN codes
Jaipur is the busiest e‑commerce destination in the state. The main GPO is at MI Road, code 302001. But using 302001 for areas like Mansarovar, Jagatpura, or Vaishali Nagar will cause delays. Below is the area‑wise list I have personally verified.
📍 Jaipur City – commonly used PIN codes
| Area / Locality | PIN Code | Post Office / Zone |
|---|---|---|
| Jaipur GPO (MI Road, City centre) | 302001 | GPO |
| Mansarovar | 302020 | Mansarovar SO |
| Vaishali Nagar | 302021 | Vaishali Nagar SO |
| Sanganer | 302029 | Sanganer SO |
| Jagatpura, Mahal Yojna | 302017 | Jagatpura SO |
| C‑Scheme, Chaura Rasta | 302001 | Under GPO |
| Jhotwara | 302012 | Jhotwara SO |
| Vidyadhar Nagar | 302023 | Vidyadhar Nagar SO |
📍 Jaipur district (suburban and rural)
- Amber (Amer) Fort area – 302028
- Chomu – 303702
- Bagru – 303007 (important for textile industry)
- Ajmer Road (beyond city limit) – 302026
Jodhpur – the Blue City and its unique zones
Jodhpur’s PIN codes are deceptively simple. The main GPO is at Sardarpura, code 342003, not 342001! This is the most common error I see. Here are the actual codes:
| Area / Locality | PIN Code | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Jodhpur GPO (Sardarpura) | 342003 | Main GPO |
| Ratanada, Paota | 342001 | Old city area |
| Basni Industrial Area | 342003 | Same as GPO, but verify |
| Shastri Nagar | 342001 | Works but area name is critical |
Udaipur, Kota, Bikaner, Ajmer – major cities at a glance
These cities are frequent destinations for handicrafts, tourism, and education‑related parcels.
| City | Primary PIN Code | Other important codes |
|---|---|---|
| Udaipur GPO | 313001 | 313004 (Sukhadia Circle), 313002 (Jagdish Chowk) |
| Kota GPO | 324001 | 324005 (Rawatbhata Road), 324007 (Industrial Area) |
| Bikaner GPO | 334001 | 334004 (Ganesh Temple), 334003 (Lalgarh) |
| Ajmer GPO | 305001 | 305002 (Dargah Bazar), 305004 (Vaishali Nagar) |
| Alwar GPO | 301001 | 301030 (Industrial Area, Bhiwadi) |
| Bhilwara GPO | 311001 | 311001 covers most, but verify for textile units |

Common mistakes people make with Rajasthan PIN codes
Based on real courier logs and my own costly lessons, here are the top 7 mistakes:
- Using 302001 for every Jaipur address – Mansarovar needs 302020, Jagatpura needs 302017.
- Assuming Jodhpur’s main code is 342001 – the GPO is actually 342003. Use 342001 only for Ratanada/Paota.
- Writing 334001 for all of Bikaner – Lalgarh and Ganesh Temple use 334003, 334004.
- Using Jaipur GPO code for Bagru textile area – Bagru is 303007, not 302001.
- Forgetting that Bhiwadi (industrial hub) is part of Alwar district – Bhiwadi uses 301030, not 301001.
- Mixing up 324001 (Kota GPO) with 324005 (Rawatbhata Road) – can delay couriers.
- Using old PIN codes from outdated websites – some villages in Rajasthan have changed codes in the last five years.

Frequently asked questions about Rajasthan PIN codes
Q1: What is the PIN code for Mansarovar, Jaipur?
302020. Many people mistakenly use 302001, which causes a delay of 1‑2 days.
Q2: I need to send a parcel to Jodhpur's Sardarpura area. Which code?
342003 (Jodhpur GPO). Do not use 342001.
Q3: What is the correct PIN code for Bhiwadi industrial area?
Bhiwadi (Alwar district) uses 301030. Some parts accept 301019, but 301030 is standard.

Old city areas like Jagdish Chowk use 313002. The Udaipur GPO (313001) also works but may cause a reroute.
Q5: Why does the same main road in Jaipur sometimes have two PIN codes?
Long roads like Tonk Road cross multiple postal zones. For example, Tonk Road near Bais Godam uses 302001, but further south near Jagatpura uses 302017.
