BiharPostal Circle
For all mail addressed to Bad, the correct 6-digit code to use is 802214 — on courier forms, bank applications, GST registration, Aadhaar update requests, and any official document that asks for a postal code. This is the code India Post uses internally to route letters and parcels to this office's delivery area. Using a nearby locality's code, even one that shares the same first five digits, can reroute your mail to a different delivery point entirely.
Where Bad Sits in the Postal Chain
Every post office in India connects upward through a chain of administrative offices — and knowing this chain matters when a delivery goes wrong, when you need to escalate a complaint, or when you're looking for a service that the local office doesn't offer directly.
Bad (B.O) is the delivery point for residents and businesses in this part of Karakat Taluk. Mail addressed to 802214 arrives here and is distributed to the surrounding addresses.
Moving up the chain: Bad reports to Gorari S.O — the Sub-Office that manages a cluster of Branch Offices in this area, including Bad. Gorari S.O handles services that aren't available at the Branch Office level and is the first escalation point for delivery complaints specific to this locality.
Above Gorari S.O is Sasaram H.O— the Head Post Office for this part of Rohtas. Sasaram H.Ois where district-level postal accounting, treasury functions, and unresolved consumer grievances are handled. If a parcel is showing as in transit within the Rohtas Division but hasn't arrived, Sasaram H.Ois the right office to contact.
Above the Head Office sits the Rohtas Postal Division, which is part of the Patna HQ Region , under the BiharPostal Circle headquartered in BIHAR. The Chief Postmaster General (CPMG) of the BiharCircle oversees all postal operations across the state.
In plain terms: if you have a delivery problem at Bad, the escalation path is — Bad → Gorari S.O → Sasaram H.O→ Rohtas Division office.
Delivery Status — What It Means for 802214
Bad is a {Delivery_Status} office. If Delivery Status = Delivery: This means Bad runs its own postman route. Letters, Speed Post articles, registered parcels, and e-commerce deliveries addressed to 802214 are brought to this office and dispatched from here to the individual doorsteps within its jurisdiction. When a tracking update says "out for delivery," the postman is working out of Bad.
If Delivery Status = Non-Delivery: This means Bad accepts mail for booking and handles administrative services, but does not run a doorstep delivery route. Inbound mail addressed to 802214 is passed to Gorari S.O or another nearby delivery office for the final leg. If you're waiting for a parcel and tracking shows it has reached the Rohtas Division but not been delivered, contact Gorari S.O — that is the office handling delivery for this area.
Understanding PIN Code 802214
The code 802214 is not a random number. Each digit carries a specific routing instruction that the India Post sorting system reads automatically.
Breaking down 802214: The first digit — {D1}
— places this post office in Postal Zone {D1} of India's national postal network. This zone covers {Zone_States}, and every PIN code beginning with {D1} belongs to this geographic region.
The second digit — {D2}— together with the first digit, identifies the specific postal circle. The combination {D1}{D2} is the identifier for the BiharPostal Circle, which covers BIHAR. If you see a PIN code starting with {D1}{D2}, it belongs to BIHAR.
The third digit — {D3} — is the sorting district code. When mail arrives at the BIHAR sorting hub, this digit routes it directly to the Rohtas area. The three-digit combination {D1}{D2}{D3} identifies the
Rohtas sorting district The final three digits — {D4}{D5}{D6} — identify Bad specifically as the delivery post office. These are what separate this office from every other post office in Rohtas. Two offices in the same district share the same first three digits but differ in the last three. Getting the last three digits wrong is the most common addressing mistake — and it's the one that causes actual misdelivery.
So 802214 reads as: Zone {D1} → BiharCircle → Rohtas sorting hub → Bad delivery office.
Where to Use PIN Code 802214
The code 802214 is the valid postal identifier for Bad's service area. Here is where you will be asked for it and why accuracy matters each time:
E-commerce orders (Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, and others) When placing an order online, entering 802214 is how the platform checks whether your locality is serviceable, which courier partner handles deliveries there, and what the estimated delivery date is. Some platforms also use it to determine which fulfilment centre your order ships from. A wrong code can show your area as unserviceable or route the order to a different delivery zone.
Bank account opening and address KYC Banks and fintech platforms cross-check the PIN code you provide against postal records. If the code does not match India Post's records for your locality, the KYC check flags a mismatch and can stall the application. 802214 is the correct code for addresses in the Bad service area.
GST registration The business address on a GST application must use a valid PIN code that matches postal records. For any business operating in the area served by Bad, 802214 is the code to use on the registration form and on all GST invoices. An incorrect code can trigger a mismatch during return reconciliation.
Aadhaar address update If you are updating your Aadhaar address to a location served by Bad, use 802214 as the postal code on the update form. The UIDAI system validates this against India Post's official records.
Court filings, legal documents, and affidavits Address fields in legal documentation — affidavits, court filings, notarised documents, property registrations — require a verified PIN code. 802214 is the valid code for Bad's jurisdiction and is accepted across all state and central government systems.
