Why is the error "Invalid Pincode" displayed while adding a nominee online?

Zerodha uses the pincodes available on the Indian Post website to avoid exchange rejections. The Invalid pincode error is displayed when the pincode entered is unavailable on the Indian Post website. If the pincode is linked to a different city, that city name is fetched and displayed. To check the pincodes updated on the Indian Post website, visit indiapost.gov.in/vas/pages/LocatePostOffices.aspx.

Did you know? Zerodha does not send any postal communication to the nominees. Clients can choose a pincode of a neighbouring post office.
