Where Lic Colony Tambaram 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.
Lic Colony Tambaram (S.O) is the delivery point for residents and businesses in this part of Tambaram Taluk. Mail addressed to 600059 arrives here and is distributed to the surrounding addresses.
Moving up the chain: Lic Colony Tambaram reports to NA — the Sub-Office that manages a cluster of Branch Offices in this area, including Lic Colony Tambaram. NA 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 NA is Tambaram H.O— the Head Post Office for this part of Kanchipuram. Tambaram 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 Tambaram Division but hasn't arrived, Tambaram H.Ois the right office to contact.
Above the Head Office sits the Tambaram Postal Division, which is part of the Chennai Region Region , under the TamilnaduPostal Circle headquartered in TAMIL NADU. The Chief Postmaster General (CPMG) of the TamilnaduCircle oversees all postal operations across the state.
In plain terms: if you have a delivery problem at Lic Colony Tambaram, the escalation path is — Lic Colony Tambaram → NA → Tambaram H.O→ Tambaram Division office.
Delivery Status — What It Means for 600059
Lic Colony Tambaram is a {Delivery_Status} office. If Delivery Status = Delivery: This means Lic Colony Tambaram runs its own postman route. Letters, Speed Post articles, registered parcels, and e-commerce deliveries addressed to 600059 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 Lic Colony Tambaram.
If Delivery Status = Non-Delivery: This means Lic Colony Tambaram accepts mail for booking and handles administrative services, but does not run a doorstep delivery route. Inbound mail addressed to 600059 is passed to NA or another nearby delivery office for the final leg. If you're waiting for a parcel and tracking shows it has reached the Tambaram Division but not been delivered, contact NA — that is the office handling delivery for this area.
Understanding PIN Code 600059
The code 600059 is not a random number. Each digit carries a specific routing instruction that the India Post sorting system reads automatically.
Breaking down 600059: 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 TamilnaduPostal Circle, which covers TAMIL NADU. If you see a PIN code starting with {D1}{D2}, it belongs to TAMIL NADU.
The third digit — {D3} — is the sorting district code. When mail arrives at the TAMIL NADU sorting hub, this digit routes it directly to the Kanchipuram area. The three-digit combination {D1}{D2}{D3} identifies the
Tambaram sorting district The final three digits — {D4}{D5}{D6} — identify Lic Colony Tambaram specifically as the delivery post office. These are what separate this office from every other post office in Kanchipuram. 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 600059 reads as: Zone {D1} → TamilnaduCircle → Tambaram sorting hub → Lic Colony Tambaram delivery office.
Where to Use PIN Code 600059
The code 600059 is the valid postal identifier for Lic Colony Tambaram'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 600059 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. 600059 is the correct code for addresses in the Lic Colony Tambaram 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 Lic Colony Tambaram, 600059 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 Lic Colony Tambaram, use 600059 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. 600059 is the valid code for Lic Colony Tambaram's jurisdiction and is accepted across all state and central government systems.
