Alipurduar Junction (S.O) is the delivery point for residents and businesses in this part of Alipurduar - I Taluk. Mail addressed to 736123 arrives here and is distributed to the surrounding addresses.
Moving up the chain: Alipurduar Junction reports to NA — the Sub-Office that manages a cluster of Branch Offices in this area, including Alipurduar Junction.

Above NA is Cooch Behar H.O— the Head Post Office for this part of Jalpaiguri. Cooch Behar 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 Cooch Behar Division but hasn't arrived, Cooch Behar H.Ois the right office to contact.
Above the Head Office sits the Cooch Behar Postal Division, which is part of the North Bengal And Sikkim Region , under the West BengalPostal Circle headquartered in WEST BENGAL. The Chief Postmaster General (CPMG) of the West BengalCircle oversees all postal operations across the state.
In plain terms: if you have a delivery problem at Alipurduar Junction, the escalation path is — Alipurduar Junction → NA → Cooch Behar H.O→ Cooch Behar Division office.
Delivery Status — What It Means for 736123
Alipurduar Junction is a {Delivery_Status} office. If Delivery Status = Delivery: This means Alipurduar Junction runs its own postman route. Letters, Speed Post articles, registered parcels, and e-commerce deliveries addressed to 736123 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 Alipurduar Junction.
If Delivery Status = Non-Delivery: This means Alipurduar Junction accepts mail for booking and handles administrative services, but does not run a doorstep delivery route. Inbound mail addressed to 736123 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 Cooch Behar Division but not been delivered, contact NA — that is the office handling delivery for this area.
Understanding PIN Code 736123
The code 736123 is not a random number. Each digit carries a specific routing instruction that the India Post sorting system reads automatically.
Breaking down 736123: 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 West BengalPostal Circle, which covers WEST BENGAL. If you see a PIN code starting with {D1}{D2}, it belongs to WEST BENGAL.
The third digit — {D3} — is the sorting district code. When mail arrives at the WEST BENGAL sorting hub, this digit routes it directly to the Jalpaiguri area. The three-digit combination {D1}{D2}{D3} identifies the
Cooch Behar sorting district The final three digits — {D4}{D5}{D6} — identify Alipurduar Junction specifically as the delivery post office. These are what separate this office from every other post office in Jalpaiguri. 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 736123 reads as: Zone {D1} → West BengalCircle → Cooch Behar sorting hub → Alipurduar Junction delivery office.
Where to Use PIN Code 736123
The code 736123 is the valid postal identifier for Alipurduar Junction'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 736123 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. 736123 is the correct code for addresses in the Alipurduar Junction 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 Alipurduar Junction, 736123 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 Alipurduar Junction, use 736123 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. 736123 is the valid code for Alipurduar Junction's jurisdiction and is accepted across all state and central government systems.
