Dehradun Pin Code List: Complete Area-Wise Guide

Dehradun is spread across a broad valley with a dense central city, cantonment areas, educational campuses, established neighbourhoods and expanding residential corridors toward Rajpur, Sahastradhara, Prem Nagar, Raipur and the airport side. The wider Dehradun district also includes major destinations such as Rishikesh, Chakrata and Dakpathar. As a result, the city and district use many different postal codes rather than a single Dehradun PIN.

Dehradun GPO and several central localities use 248001, Clement Town uses 248002, Dehradun Cantonment uses 248003, Prem Nagar uses 248007, Raipur uses 248008, Rajpur uses 248009 and Sahastradhara Road uses 248013. Areas farther from the central city can use different 248-series or 249-series codes.

The tables below separate central Dehradun from cantonment, northern/eastern neighbourhoods and important outer destinations. For KYC, admissions, property records, courier shipments and government forms, users should match the PIN with the exact post office written in the address.

Central Dehradun PIN Codes

Many of Dehradun’s best-known central neighbourhoods are served under the 248001 postal zone.

Cantonment, Clement Town and West Dehradun PIN Codes

The cantonment and western educational-residential belt use several distinct PIN codes.

Rajpur, Sahastradhara and East Dehradun PIN Codes

North and east Dehradun include hill-road localities and rapidly growing residential areas.

Outer Dehradun District PIN Codes

Important destinations in the wider district are served by separate post offices and should not be assigned a central Dehradun code.

Why Do Nearby Dehradun Areas Have Different PIN Codes?

Dehradun locality names often cover broad areas, while India Post routes mail through specific delivery offices. Central locations may share 248001, whereas nearby cantonment, university and hill-road zones use different codes. District destinations such as Rishikesh are part of Dehradun district but use a 249-series PIN.

Understanding a Dehradun PIN Code

Most Dehradun city codes begin with 248, while some parts of the district use 249. The complete six-digit PIN identifies the sorting route and delivery office, making it more reliable than a general locality name alone.

How to Confirm the Correct Dehradun PIN

For an exact home, apartment, office or institutional address, compare the PIN with a recent utility bill, bank correspondence, registered document or a previously delivered parcel. India Post’s post-office locator can also be used to verify the delivery office. This is particularly useful when a locality lies close to the boundary of two postal zones or when a project uses a broader marketing locality name.
