Indian English term for a postal index number — the Indian postal code system (PIN stands for Postal Index Number). In Indian English usage, 'pincode' functions exactly as 'postcode' does in British English or 'zip code' in American English, used in addresses to specify postal delivery zones.

Make sure you enter your pincode correctly when ordering online or the parcel might go to the wrong city.
Origin: From Indian postal system 'PIN' (Postal Index Number) + 'code'; 'PIN code' written as one word in standard Indian English usage. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
