Why Courier Companies Sometimes Get Zirakpur Wrong
A common frustration among Zirakpur residents is that courier services like Amazon, Flipkart, and local courier companies sometimes assign their Zirakpur delivery to:
Dera Bassi (140507) — because Zirakpur falls under Tehsil Dera Bassi administratively, some systems use the tehsil headquarters’ pin code. This is incorrect for delivery purposes.
Chandigarh postal codes (160xxx) — some systems treat Zirakpur as part of Chandigarh due to its proximity. This is also incorrect.
The correct code for all Zirakpur deliveries is 140603, and addresses should specify “Zirakpur, District SAS Nagar, Punjab 140603” to avoid routing errors.
