Integrating address verification based on pincode and vice versa for Indian Pincode

Question

We are trying to build address validator and was wondering if storing the data can become obsolete or will be a maintenance task.

Adding a API would rather be long lasting. There are not many resources which are kept updated

I have checked below Links.All of them are out dated and do not have latest data.

Also there is not much on documentation part -

I tried below link and the data I got from this link is outdated.

Indian Post would be the most reliable source of information, the other site you referred () gets data from Indian Post -

https://api.postalpincode.in/

It works fine for most of the pin-codes however the recent split of J&K doesn't seem to be updated yet.

The government sites' data usually take much longer to get updated.

Thanks for the info @Manish, I have already explored this api as mentioned in question itself. Government sites do delay, but its been almost a year now, they have not updated the data.I mailed to them as well and its been 2 weeks, no reply yet. – Mahesh_Loya May 14 '20 at 02:50

@Balwinder No update, no reply from Post as well. We are running with static data, for any exception we handle adhoc. – Mahesh_Loya Mar 29 '22 at 15:52

You can find the updated Indian postal or pin code information from "India Pincode with Latitude and Longitude" API.
