The postal code system in Pakistan was introduced on January 1, 1988, to speed up sortation and delivery. The postal codes in Pakistan consist of 5 digits, with the first two digits representing the routing district and the last three digits representing the post office. Here are some examples of postal codes for different cities in Pakistan:
- Islamabad G.P.O.: 44000
- Lahore G.P.O.: 54000
- Karachi G.P.O.: 74000
- Peshawar G.P.O.: 25000
- Quetta G.P.O.: 87300
It is important to note that for larger cities like Karachi and Lahore, there are multiple General Post Offices (GPOs), but the main one is the only one that has just the citys name attached to it.
