Last updated: 10 August 2026 | Researched and verified by the South Delhi Rent Wala editorial desk against the Delhi Gazette notification of 25 December 2025, Delhi Revenue Department records and India Post post office data
South West Delhi district has four sub-divisions: Najafgarh, Matiala, Dwarka and Bijwasan. They cover 76 revenue villages and 12 PIN codes: 110037, 110043, 110045, 110046, 110061, 110071, 110072, 110073, 110075, 110077, 110078 and 110097. The district headquarters is at Kapashera. Munirka, Vasant Kunj, R.K. Puram and Vasant Vihar are labelled South West Delhi by India Post but are not in the South West revenue district.
Most pages about South West Delhi are describing a district that stopped existing on 1 January 2026. On 25 December 2025 the Delhi Revenue Department notified a reorganisation of the whole territory into 13 districts and 39 sub-divisions. South West Delhi went from three sub-divisions to four, the airport belt moved in from New Delhi district, and Bindapur and Dabri moved out to West district.
This page works from that notification. The lookup comes first, the explanation comes after it.

India Post does not publish sector-level PIN boundaries for Dwarka, which is why the sector ranges above are approximate. The sector-group table below breaks it down further.
How these were verified. Every PIN code above comes from India Post post office records, cross-checked across more than one India Post-derived directory, then mapped against the December 2025 gazette village schedule to establish the sub-division. The method, and the entries we found other sites getting wrong, are set out in full further down this page.
Key takeaways
- Four sub-divisions, 76 revenue villages, 12 PIN codes inside the district.
- Dwarka alone uses three PIN codes, split by sector rather than by locality name.
- Kapashera has two PIN codes in live use: 110097 for its post office, 110037 for much of the border belt.
- Only 43 of the district's 76 revenue villages have a post office named after them.
- India Post's "South West Delhi" label covers roughly 29 PIN codes, more than twice the district's own.

Dwarka by sector group
Dwarka is the one place in the district where the sector number matters more than the locality name. This is the grouping that actually governs your PIN code, your metro line and your housing type.
| Sector group | PIN | Metro | Housing character | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sectors 1 to 12 | 110075 | Blue Line, Sectors 8 to 12 stations | The oldest and most settled societies, DDA flats, established sector markets | Dwarka Courts in Sector 10, Manipal Hospital in Sector 6, Indira Gandhi Hospital in Sector 9 |
| Sectors 13 to 19 | 110075 and 110078 at the boundary | Blue Line, Sectors 13 and 14 | Mixed societies and institutional land | NSUT, GGSIPU and NLU Delhi sit in this band, so paying guest demand concentrates here |
| Sectors 20 to 25 | 110077 | Airport Express at Sectors 21 and 25 | Newer development, the largest plots and the most open land | Yashobhoomi at Sector 25, Bharat Vandana Park at Sector 20, the interstate bus terminus under construction opposite Sector 21 |
| Kakrola and Dwarka Mor side | 110078 | Blue Line at Dwarka Mor and Nawada | Denser, cheaper, mixed planned and unplanned | Dwarka Mor is not part of the planned sub-city, which is the single most common mix-up here |
If you are writing an address, confirm against an existing bill. India Post does not publish the sector-by-sector boundary, and these groups are guidance rather than a delivery map.
Complete post office list, New Delhi South West postal division

Areas commonly called South West Delhi that are not in the district
| Locality | PIN | Actual revenue district (2026) |

Note the last row but one. Baprola and Tilangpur Kotla share Najafgarh's 110043, which makes them look like Najafgarh localities. They are in West district. A shared PIN code is not evidence of a shared district.
Major Localities in South West Delhi
Eight localities carry most of the district's population and most of the searches. Each entry below gives the same five things.
Dwarka
- PIN: 110075, 110077, 110078
- Where: Planned sub-city on the district's northern side, about 56 sq km across 29 sectors
- Known for: Cooperative group housing societies, Dwarka Courts Complex in Sector 10, NSUT and a Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University campus, National Law University Delhi in Sector 14
- Connectivity: Blue Line sector stations, Grey Line to Najafgarh, Airport Express at Sector 21 and Sector 25, Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road II
- Rental relevance: The most organised rental stock in the district, from DDA flats to premium society flats, plus heavy student demand around the campuses
Najafgarh
- PIN: 110043
- Where: Town at the district's western end, against the Haryana border with Jhajjar and Bahadurgarh
- Known for: A genuine market town economy rather than a colony, the Najafgarh drain and jheel wetland to its north, and a large surrounding village belt
- Connectivity: Grey Line, four stations, interchange with the Blue Line at Dwarka; Najafgarh Road and Dhansa Road; Urban Extension Road II on its eastern flank
- Rental relevance: Independent houses and floors at the lowest rents in the district for comparable space, at the cost of the longest commute inward
Palam
- PIN: 110045
- Where: Between Delhi Cantonment, Dwarka and Janakpuri, on Palam-Dabri Marg
- Known for: One of Delhi's oldest village settlements, historically the head of the Palam Barah cluster, and Dada Dev Mandir
- Connectivity: Magenta Line at Palam and Dashrath Puri, with direct trains to Terminal 1, Hauz Khas and Noida; Palam railway station
- Rental relevance: Builder floors and independent floors, strong demand from airport staff and Noida commuters
Sagarpur
- PIN: 110046
- Where: On Pankha Road between Delhi Cantonment and Janakpuri; moved into Dwarka sub-division in the 2026 reorganisation
- Known for: Dense older colonies, a busy local market, and among the most affordable formal housing inside the urban half of the district
- Connectivity: Dashrath Puri on the Magenta Line and Janakpuri on the Blue Line, both with a short last-mile leg
- Rental relevance: Value renting for families who want markets on foot and can accept density
Kapashera
- PIN: 110097 for the post office, 110037 for much of the belt
- Where: On Old Delhi-Gurgaon Road at the Delhi-Gurugram border, about 1 km from NH-48
- Known for: The district headquarters building, and a very large working rental population employed in Gurugram's offices, hotels and malls
- Connectivity: No metro station inside the locality, which has been a standing local demand; DTC and cluster buses do most of the work; Bijwasan railway station is about 2 km away
- Rental relevance: Purpose-built rental blocks and single rooms at high volume, chosen almost entirely for the Gurugram commute
Bijwasan
- PIN: 110061
- Where: Between Dwarka and NH-48, giving its name to the district's newest sub-division
- Known for: Bijwasan railway station, upgraded to serve the airport catchment, and a mix of village core, farmland and new development
- Connectivity: Road-led. NH-48 and Dwarka Expressway; nearest metro is Dwarka Sector 21
- Rental relevance: Suits car commuters facing Gurugram; limited organised rental supply compared with Dwarka
Mahipalpur
- PIN: 110037
- Where: On the NH-48 service road beside the airport, moved into South West Delhi from New Delhi district in 2026
- Known for: Delhi's densest budget hotel cluster, built on airport traffic, plus commercial and warehousing use
- Connectivity: Road only today. A Mahipalpur station is under construction on the Golden Line
- Rental relevance: High turnover, commercial in character, dominated by hospitality and airport-linked work rather than family housing
Chhawla
- PIN: 110071
- Where: In the rural Matiala belt, south-west of Dwarka, near the Kangan Heri and Badusarai villages
- Known for: A BSF camp, farmland, and village settlements that are still substantially rural
- Connectivity: Weakest in the district. Dhansa Bus Stand is the nearest metro access and it is not close
- Rental relevance: Village housing and plotted development, suitable only with your own transport
How to Use This List
- If you only want a PIN code, use the finder or the A to Z index. For Dwarka, confirm the sector, because 110075, 110077 and 110078 all serve parts of the sub-city.
- If you are filing a government application, the sub-division column is what matters. Certificates and property registration are handled at the SDM office for your sub-division, not the one nearest to you.
- If you are checking an old document, expect the sub-division name to be wrong before the address. Kapashera and Vasant Vihar were sub-division names until 31 December 2025 and are not any longer.
- If a website contradicts this page, check its date. Anything written before January 2026 shows three sub-divisions and puts the airport belt in New Delhi district.
- If your own documents contradict each other, that is normal here and not an error. One Kapashera address can show South West Delhi on a property deed, South West Delhi on a parcel, a West Delhi court jurisdiction for certain police stations nearby, and a different constituency name on the electoral roll. Four systems, four boundaries, four correct answers. Use the revenue district for land, certificates and registration; the PIN code for anything postal; the constituency only for voting; and the locality name for everything else.
Four Different South West Delhis
Almost every contradiction you will find online comes from four systems drawing the boundary in four places.
| System | What it decides | Boundary here |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue district | Certificates, land records, property registration, magisterial work | Four sub-divisions, 76 villages, headquarters at Kapashera |
| Postal district | Mail routing and delivery | India Post's "South West Delhi" reaches into South Delhi and New Delhi districts, roughly 29 PIN codes |
| Police and courts | Policing and criminal jurisdiction | Delhi Police has 15 districts against the revenue system's 13; the South West district courts sit at Dwarka Sector 10 and their jurisdiction includes Bindapur, Uttam Nagar, Mohan Garden, Vikaspuri and Janakpuri police stations, all of which are in West revenue district |
| Municipal zone | Roads, sanitation, property tax | MCD ward boundaries, which the December 2025 notification made the basic unit of general administration |
A locality can sit in one, two, three or all four. Munirka sits in the postal one and not the revenue one, which is why it gets its own section below.
Administrative South West Delhi: The Four Sub-Divisions
Delhi Gazette (Extraordinary) notification F.223/SDM-II(HQ)/Land/2025/285, dated 25 December 2025 and issued in the name of the Lt. Governor, created 39 sub-divisions and 13 areas across the NCT, designed to be co-terminus with the twelve zones of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi plus the NDMC and Delhi Cantonment areas. It came into force immediately, and the reorganisation took effect from 1 January 2026.

| Vasant Vihar sub-division | Existed | Dissolved; New Delhi district now has two sub-divisions |
| Villages in the district | 77 as published by the district | 76 in the gazette schedule |
If a form, a lease, an old utility bill or a website still says "Kapashera Sub-Division" or "Vasant Vihar Sub-Division", it is describing the pre-2026 structure. Existing documents remain valid. What changes is which office you visit.
Why official sites still disagree with each other
The district's own website is mid-update. Its Tehsil page and Sub-division & Blocks page list the four current names. Its About District page still carries the older text describing three sub-divisions, along with the pre-2026 figures of 420 sq km, 2,292,958 people and 77 villages. The Directory section lists SDM offices for all four. The old /kapashera-sub-division/ URL now serves a page headed "Matiala Sub-Division".
The Revenue Department's central list of sub-divisional offices, last updated on 7 August 2026, shows the four current sub-divisions, and the national Local Government Directory shows the same four. Where an official page conflicts with the gazette, the gazette wins.
Complete revenue village list
For land records and anything under the Delhi Land Revenue Act 1954, the revenue village is the basic unit. For general administration, the notification switches the basic unit to MCD wards, which is how a planned colony such as Dwarka Sector 12 is administered despite having no revenue village of its own.
- Najafgarh (21): Bakargarh, Dhansa, Dichaun Kalan, Haibatpur, Issapur, Jaffarpur Kalan, Jharoda Kalan, Kair, Khaira, Malikpur Zer, Masooda Bad, Mitraon, Mundhela Kalan, Mundhela Khurd, Najafgarh, Qazipur, Roshanpura, Samaspur Khalsa, Surakhpur, Surhera, Ujwa.
- Matiala (38): Ambar Hai, Asalatpur Khawad, Badusarai, Chhawla, Daryapur Khurd, Daulatpur, Devrala, Dindarpur, Galibpur, Ghuman Hera, Goela Khurd, Hasanpur, Jainpur, Jhatikara, Jhuljuli, Kakrola, Kangan Heri, Kharkhari Nahar, Kharkhari Jatmal, Kharkhari Rond, Khera Dabar, Luharheri, Matiala, Nanak Heri, Nangli Sakrawati, Paprawat, Pindwala Kalan, Pindwala Khurd, Pochanpur, Qutbapur, Raghopur, Rawta, Rewla Khanpur, Sahupura, Sarangpur, Sherpur Dairy, Shikarpur, Tajpur Khurd.
- Dwarka (4): Sagarpur, Mirzapur, Nasirpur, Palam.
- Bijwasan (13): Bagdola, Bamnoli, Bharthal, Bijwasan, Dhoolsiras, Kapashera, Mahipalpur, Nangal Dewat, Rangpuri, Shahbad Mohammadpur, Salahpur, Samalka, Toganpur.
Dwarka has only four because almost the entire sub-city was built on land acquired for planned development, so its sectors are not revenue villages.
Where to go for certificates and property registration
| Your locality | SDM office | Sub-Registrar |
|---|---|---|
| Kapashera, Bijwasan, Mahipalpur, Rangpuri, Samalka, Bagdola, Bamnoli, Bharthal, Dhoolsiras, Nangal Dewat, Salahpur, Shahbad Mohammadpur, Toganpur | Bijwasan, at the DC Office, Kapashera | SR-IX, Old Terminal Tax Building, Kapashera |
| Sagarpur, Palam, Nasirpur, Mirzapur | Dwarka, Sector 10 | Dwarka sub-division office |
| Najafgarh town and the western villages | Najafgarh, Tehsil Road, Turamandi | e-SR IX-A, B-64A Tehsil Road, Najafgarh |
| Chhawla, Kakrola, Matiala, Paprawat, Pochanpur, Rewla Khanpur, Nangli Sakrawati and the rest of the rural belt | Matiala, at the DC Office, Kapashera | SR-IX, Kapashera |
Sub-Registrar offices were increased across Delhi as part of the same reorganisation, so confirm the current counter before you travel.
PIN Code Data: What We Verified and What Is Disputed
Method:
Every PIN code was taken from India Post post office records, cross-checked across more than one India Post-derived directory, then mapped against the December 2025 gazette village schedule to establish the sub-division. Where two directories disagreed, we looked for a third source rather than picking one. The tables, the search finder and the page's structured data are all generated from a single dataset, so the counts on this page check each other.
A disputed entry we resolved
Several widely syndicated directories list Kair and Khaira under 110028, the Naraina PIN roughly 20 km away. This is an error copied between aggregator sites. India Post records and the Census-linked village record both give 110043, consistent with every neighbouring Najafgarh village. We have used 110043.
A quirk worth knowing about 110067
All three post offices under that PIN, Munirka, J.N.U. and JNU New Campus, are recorded as non-delivery offices. They book mail but do not run delivery beats. The head office above them is Sarojini Nagar H.O. (110023). Your delivery office is very often not the office named after your colony.
What we did not do
We have not assigned a PIN to every pocket in Dwarka, because India Post does not publish sector-level boundaries, and we have not invented PIN codes for the 33 revenue villages that have no post office of their own. Guessing would defeat the purpose of the page.
Munirka: More Than Just a JNU Neighbour
Location and character
Munirka sits on the Outer Ring Road with the JNU campus to its south, Vasant Vihar to its north-west, R.K. Puram to its north, and IIT Delhi and Ber Sarai to its south-east. It is one of Delhi's urbanised villages: the original village core survives as a dense grid of narrow lanes and tall plot-by-plot construction, ringed by planned development.
That contrast is the point of Munirka. Within a few hundred metres you move from a five-storey walk-up let out room by room, to DDA flats built in the mid-1970s, to Vasant Vihar's diplomatic bungalows. Very few Delhi localities compress that much range of housing and price into that little ground.
The DDA colony is the settled half. Now more than fifty years old, it has held a strong resident community and a long association with the JNU and IIT academic circuit, and it stays relatively affordable for a location this central. The village half is the churning half, and it holds most of the room and paying guest supply.
Is Munirka in South West Delhi?
Administratively, no. Munirka's revenue village is recorded as Mohammadpur Munirka, and the December 2025 gazette places it in the Mehrauli sub-division of South Delhi district. Before January 2026 it was in the Vasant Vihar sub-division of New Delhi district. It has never been in the South West Delhi revenue district.
Postally, yes. India Post tags the Munirka, J.N.U. and JNU New Campus sub-offices as South West Delhi, in the New Delhi South West postal division. The South West Delhi district website also hosts a page titled "STD & PIN Codes" carrying a list of PIN codes for the whole of Delhi, Munirka's 110067 included, and readers reasonably conclude from it that Munirka is in the district.
Both answers you have seen online are half right. The PIN code, 110067, is not in dispute.
Lifestyle and everyday comforts
Munirka is convenient rather than comfortable, and the distinction is worth making honestly.
What is convenient. Everything you need daily is within walking distance, which is rarer in South Delhi than people assume. Munirka Market and the DDA Market between them cover groceries, chemists, tailors, electricians, mobile repair, photocopying and the small unglamorous services that decide whether a locality is liveable without a car.
The locality is known across Delhi for its furniture market, which pulls buyers from well outside the neighbourhood and is the reason people who have never lived here still know the name. It works the way such markets do: a run of small workshops and showrooms where things are made, repaired and delivered locally, and where prices are negotiated rather than displayed.
Cheap eating is abundant and genuinely good, shaped by decades of student demand rather than by anyone's restaurant strategy. Thela food and small North Indian and South Indian places sit alongside momo and roll counters, and the regional spread reflects JNU's intake from across the country, so food that is hard to find elsewhere in Delhi turns up here in unremarkable single-room places. Banks, ATMs and courier pickups are dense. Basant Lok in Vasant Vihar is a short hop for anything more expensive, and the Vasant Kunj mall cluster is ten to fifteen minutes by road.
What is crowded. The village lanes are narrow, parking is contested, and construction has gone as high and as close as the plots allow, so light and ventilation vary sharply between buildings. The Outer Ring Road stretch outside is heavily loaded at peak hours. The DDA pockets are calmer than the village but not quiet.
Housing types. Single and shared rooms in the village core; one and two room independent floors; paying guest accommodation with and without meals; DDA flats in the colony, usually two-bedroom, on rent and resale; a small number of builder floors. Servant-quarter and barsati lets are common.
Health and education. The National Institute of Health and Family Welfare is inside Munirka. AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital are a short ride along the Ring Road, and Safdarjung Enclave's clinics and diagnostic labs are close. Schools sit mostly in the surrounding colonies rather than in the village, which matters for families.
Transport and metro connectivity
Munirka metro station opened on 29 May 2018 on the Magenta Line. It is underground, with four entry and exit points serving the CPWD Colony and Vivekanand Marg side, Munirka Market, the DDA Market and Capital Court, and the Vasant Vihar police station and DTC depot side.
What the line gives you:
- Direct to Noida, including Botanical Garden, with no interchange
- Direct to Terminal 1 of IGI Airport, the domestic terminal, which is unusual for a South Delhi locality
- Direct to Hauz Khas, the interchange to the Yellow Line for central Delhi and Gurugram
- Direct to Janakpuri West for the western corridor
- One stop to R.K. Puram, two to Vasant Vihar, and IIT Delhi in the other direction
Buses matter here more than the metro station suggests. The Outer Ring Road stretch outside Munirka is one of the busiest bus corridors in South Delhi, and the DTC depot beside the locality means services start close by rather than arriving full. For anyone commuting to Dhaula Kuan, AIIMS or the South Campus side, the bus is often quicker than the metro's interchange at Hauz Khas.
By road, Munirka sits on the Outer Ring Road, with Nelson Mandela Marg running past Vasant Kunj towards NH-48. New Delhi Railway Station is roughly 14 km away; Terminal 1 about 8 km and Terminal 3 about 12 km, though the metro handles T1 more reliably than a cab at peak hour.
Rental relevance and who it suits
Munirka's rental market is unusually segmented for one locality, which is why blanket statements about it are useless. Four distinct groups are competing for different stock in the same few hundred metres.
Students and research scholars are the historic base, drawn by JNU on one side and by IIT Delhi and the Delhi University South Campus circuit on the other. They concentrate in the village core, mostly in single and shared rooms, and their demand is seasonal in a way the rest of the market is not.
Working professionals grew as a segment after the metro opened in 2018, because the Magenta Line reached Noida and the domestic airport without an interchange. They compete for the better independent floors and the smaller DDA units.
Families look almost entirely at the DDA colony rather than the village, for the layout, the parks and the parking, and they tend to stay long.
Short-stay and institutional demand comes from the training institutes and government offices in the immediate vicinity, and it absorbs a steady share of the serviced and paying guest supply.
The practical consequence is that two flats a lane apart can sit in completely different markets, so comparing them on rent alone tells you very little.
Consider Munirka if you want a central South Delhi address on a mid-range budget, if your commute runs along the Magenta Line, or if you are attached to JNU, IIT or the institutions around them. Look elsewhere if you want quiet, dedicated parking, a large flat or a school-heavy family neighbourhood. Dwarka gives you all four for similar money, at the cost of a longer commute into central Delhi.
Lifestyle and Everyday Comforts Across South West Delhi
The district is not one place. It is easier to describe by belt.
Housing
- Dwarka: Cooperative group housing societies organised sector by sector, DDA flats, and newer private developments. The most predictable housing stock in the district: lifts, society parking, gated compounds, resident welfare associations. Paying guest supply clusters around the NSUT and Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University campuses.
- Palam, Sagarpur and Nasirpur: Builder floors and independent houses on smaller plots, denser lanes, older colonies, and the most affordable formal housing in the urban half.
- Najafgarh: A genuine town centre with its own markets and institutions, surrounded by village settlements and low-rise plotted development. Independent houses and floors dominate.
- Bijwasan and Kapashera: The most mixed belt. Kapashera in particular houses a very large Gurugram-facing rental population in dense purpose-built blocks. Mahipalpur is dominated by hospitality and airport-adjacent commerce.
- The Matiala rural belt: Village housing, farmhouse plots and agricultural holdings. This is the part of Delhi that is still substantially rural.
- Urbanised villages and lal dora: Kapashera, Bijwasan, Palam, Najafgarh and Munirka all have an old village core. These lal dora and extended lal dora pockets were historically outside municipal building byelaws, which is why construction there is denser and taller than the surrounding planned areas. Rents are lower and supply is plentiful, but title, sanction and loan eligibility work differently from a society flat. If you are renting, this rarely matters. If you are buying, have the papers examined by someone who has handled lal dora property specifically.
Markets and daily needs
Najafgarh's main market is the commercial centre of the district's western half and serves a very wide catchment. Dwarka works differently: sector markets and district centres distributed across the sub-city rather than one core, with Vegas Mall in Sector 14, Pacific D21 at Sector 21 and City Centre Dwarka covering organised retail, and the Sector 6 and Sector 12 markets handling daily needs. Palam, Sagarpur and Dabri each run dense local markets, which is why they work on foot. In the rural belt, weekly markets and cluster villages still do much of the work.
Schools and education
Institutional weight is concentrated in Dwarka: Netaji Subhas University of Technology in Sector 3, a Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University campus, and National Law University Delhi in Sector 14. The western belt is not empty either. Jaffarpur Kalan holds NSUT West Campus, on the site of the former Ch. Brahm Prakash Government Engineering College, which was the country's first engineering college dedicated to civil engineering, along with the Ch. Brahm Prakash Industrial Training Institute and a Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya. Schools across the sub-city include Delhi Public School Dwarka, Venkateshwar International School, Mount Carmel School, ITL Public School and Bal Bhavan International School. The rest of the district is served mostly by MCD and Delhi government schools plus private schools in the older colonies. Families moving specifically for schooling generally end up in Dwarka.
Healthcare
The biggest change of recent years is Indira Gandhi Hospital in Dwarka Sector 9, a Delhi government facility operating as a 1,241-bed multi-specialty teaching hospital and planned to scale to 1,725 beds with a medical college in its second phase. It is the sub-city's first government hospital and its catchment reaches well beyond Dwarka.
Private hospitals cluster in the sectors: Manipal Hospital in Sector 6, Venkateshwar Hospital in Sector 18A, Aakash Healthcare in Sector 3, and Ayushman and Bensups hospitals in Sector 12. Rao Tula Ram Memorial Hospital at Jaffarpur Kalan serves the rural belt. It is a Delhi government facility, one of five peripheral hospitals planned in the early 1980s to take pressure off the central hospitals, which opened as a polyclinic in 1989 and reached its full 100 beds in 1999. Outside it, the western belt relies on dispensaries and private nursing homes and still travels for tertiary care. The Kapashera and Mahipalpur belt is closest to Gurugram's private hospitals, which many residents use.
Recreation and family living
Parks and open space are genuinely good in Dwarka by Delhi standards, because they were planned into the sector layout. Bharat Vandana Park in Sector 20 has added a large themed public space, and the Dwarka Sports Complex covers swimming, tennis and badminton. The ISKCON temple in Sector 13 and Dada Dev Mandir at Palam are the main religious landmarks. The Najafgarh side has open land but far less planned public space, and the dense colonies of Palam, Sagarpur and Kapashera have the least.
What Needs Attention
An honest locality guide has to carry the problems, belt by belt.
Water and groundwater
The rural Matiala and Najafgarh belts have long depended on groundwater, and depletion across Delhi's south-west is well documented. Piped supply reaches unevenly outside the planned sectors. This is not a new or contested problem: Rao Tula Ram Memorial Hospital's own official history records that water scarcity in the area caused operational difficulties for years after it opened, and restricted its services to daytime hours. If a government hospital struggled with it, ask about the water arrangement before you sign anything in that belt.
Kapashera and the border belt
Power reliability is a standing local complaint, and the belt's density has run well ahead of its civic infrastructure. There is no metro station despite one of the highest rental populations in the district.
Traffic
The Najafgarh Road and Nangloi-Najafgarh corridor is congested for most of the working day. Dabri-Dwarka Road backs up at peak hours. The NH-48 stretch through Rajokri and Kapashera carries both airport and Gurugram traffic.
Air quality
The airport and NH-48 corridor carries heavy vehicle volume, and the western belt sits downwind of both Delhi and Haryana industrial activity during the winter inversion season.
Last-mile connectivity
Outside Dwarka, getting from a metro station to your door is inconsistent. Najafgarh is served by four stations on one line. Chhawla, Ujwa and the western villages effectively require your own transport.
Density running ahead of planning
The urbanised village cores at Kapashera, Palam and Najafgarh have added floors far faster than their lanes, drainage and parking were built for. This is the practical cost of the cheaper rent, and it shows up as narrow access, contested parking and buildings with limited light and ventilation rather than as anything that appears on a listing.
Tertiary healthcare in the west
Indira Gandhi Hospital has transformed the position for Dwarka, but the rural belt is still served mainly by the 100-bed Rao Tula Ram Memorial Hospital at Jaffarpur Kalan and a scatter of dispensaries. Serious cases travel, either inward to central Delhi or across the border to Gurugram.
Najafgarh jheel
The wetland north of the town floods in heavy monsoon years and has been the subject of long-running restoration and encroachment disputes. If you are looking at property in that belt, ask about water logging history specifically.
Metro and Road Connectivity Across South West Delhi
The lines
| Line | Section relevant here | What it connects you to |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Line | Dwarka Sector 21 to Dwarka Mor, onward to Janakpuri West, Rajiv Chowk, Noida and Vaishali | The workhorse for Dwarka to central Delhi |
| Grey Line | Dwarka, Nangli, Najafgarh, Dhansa Bus Stand | Najafgarh's only metro access, interchanging at Dwarka |
| Magenta Line | Dabri Mor-Janakpuri South, Dashrath Puri, Palam, Sadar Bazaar Cantonment, Terminal 1-IGI Airport, Shankar Vihar, Vasant Vihar, Munirka, R.K. Puram, IIT Delhi, Hauz Khas | The Palam belt and the JNU side, plus the domestic terminal and Noida without interchange |
| Airport Express | Dwarka Sector 21, Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25, IGI Terminal 3, Delhi Aerocity, Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi | Fastest route from Dwarka to New Delhi Railway Station |
Dwarka metro station is the only station on the network with five platforms on one level, handling Blue Line, Grey Line and the depot connection together.
The Grey Line is the shortest on the network at 5.19 km with four stations. Dwarka to Najafgarh opened on 4 October 2019; the extension to Dhansa Bus Stand opened on 18 September 2021, and Dhansa was the first Delhi Metro station built with an underground car park.
Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25 opened on 17 September 2023, extending the Airport Express about 2 km into the India International Convention and Expo Centre. That took the line to 24.9 km, and DMRC raised its operating speed to 120 km/h, putting New Delhi station about 21 minutes away.
Comparison by area
| Area | Relevant metro | Metro connectivity | Road connectivity | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dwarka Sectors 1 to 23 | Blue Line sector stations, Sector 21 interchange | Strong, two lines plus Airport Express | Dwarka Expressway, UER-II, NH-48 | Families, airport and Gurugram commuters, students |
| Dwarka Mor and Nawada | Blue Line | Strong but crowded at peak | Najafgarh Road | Budget renters wanting Blue Line access |
| Palam, Dashrath Puri, Sadh Nagar | Magenta Line | Strong, direct to T1, Hauz Khas and Noida | Palam-Dabri Marg | Airport workers, Noida commuters |
| Sagarpur | Magenta via Dashrath Puri, Blue via Janakpuri | Moderate, short last-mile leg | Pankha Road | Affordable renting with reasonable access |
| Najafgarh | Grey Line | Moderate, one line, interchange at Dwarka | Najafgarh Road, Dhansa Road, UER-II | Residents prioritising space over commute time |
| Bijwasan, Shahbad Mohammadpur | Dwarka Sector 21, Bijwasan railway station | Weak by metro | NH-48, Dwarka Expressway | Car commuters facing Gurugram |
| Kapashera | None in the locality | Weak by metro | Old Delhi-Gurgaon Road, NH-48 | Gurugram workers commuting by bus or two-wheeler |
| Mahipalpur, Rangpuri | None yet, Golden Line station under construction | Weak now, changing | NH-48, airport approach roads | Hospitality and airport-linked work |
| Chhawla, Jaffarpur, Ujwa, Dhansa | Dhansa Bus Stand at the eastern edge | Weak | Dhansa Road, Najafgarh-Bahadurgarh Road | Residents with their own transport |
Best metro connectivity, by what you are optimising for
- Most lines and interchanges: Dwarka
- Central Delhi: Dwarka on the Blue Line for cost, Airport Express for speed
- Airport: Dwarka Sector 21 for Terminal 3; Palam and Dashrath Puri for Terminal 1
- Gurugram: Bijwasan, Kapashera and Rangpuri by road via NH-48 and Dwarka Expressway, not by metro
- Noida: Palam and Dashrath Puri on the Magenta Line, direct
- Students: Dwarka Sectors 3, 7 and 14 for the campuses
- Weakest despite high demand: Kapashera and Mahipalpur, both with large working populations and no station inside the locality
Roads, rail and bus
Four roads carry most of the district: NH-48 along the southern edge into Gurugram, Dwarka Expressway to Gurugram's new sectors, Urban Extension Road II along the western side, and Najafgarh Road as the historic east-west spine.
Bijwasan and Palam railway stations serve their belts, and the Dwarka Interstate Bus Terminus is under construction opposite Dwarka Sector 21 on a 27-acre site, intended to take Punjab and Haryana traffic off Kashmere Gate and Sarai Kale Khan.
Where there is no metro, buses do the work. DTC and cluster services are the main public transport in Kapashera, Bijwasan, Mahipalpur and the rural villages. Route numbers are revised periodically, so check before relying on one.
Under construction, not open. The Golden Line, Aerocity to Tughlakabad, will add Mahipalpur and Vasant Kunj stations. In May 2026 DMRC's Managing Director said the remaining priority Phase 4 sections, including this one, were targeted for commissioning by December 2026. Phase 4 has slipped repeatedly, so treat it as forthcoming rather than existing when comparing localities today.
Rental Relevance Across South West Delhi
Rental patterns here follow employment geography more than prestige, which makes them easier to reason about than in most of Delhi.
| Area | Best for | Housing type | Connectivity | Consideration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dwarka Sectors 6, 10, 12, 22 | Families, senior professionals | Society flats, DDA flats | Blue Line, Airport Express | Most organised stock in the district |
| Dwarka Sectors 3, 7, 14 | Students | PG, shared flats | Blue Line | Campus-driven demand |
| Dwarka Mor, Nawada | Budget renters, first jobs | Builder floors, small flats | Blue Line | Cheapest Blue Line access, dense |
| Palam, Dashrath Puri, Sadh Nagar | Airport and Noida commuters | Builder floors | Magenta Line | Direct T1 access is the draw |
| Sagarpur | Value-seeking families | Independent floors | Magenta and Blue with last-mile | Affordable, dense, good markets |
| Najafgarh | Families wanting space | Independent houses and floors | Grey Line | Lowest rents for size, longest commute |
| Kapashera | Gurugram workers | Purpose-built blocks, single rooms | Road only | Very large rental population, no metro |
| Mahipalpur, Rangpuri | Hospitality and airport workers | Rooms, small floors | Road only | Commercial, high turnover |
| Munirka (adjacent, South district) | Students, academics, professionals | Village rooms, PG, DDA flats | Magenta Line | Central location, mid-range budget |
| Vasant Kunj (adjacent, South district) | Established professionals, families | DDA and private flats | Road, Golden Line under construction | Premium end of this catchment |
What actually differs between the belts for a renter
In Dwarka you deal mostly with societies. Expect a registered lease, a resident welfare association with its own rules on parking, pets and visitors, maintenance charges separate from rent, and a security deposit that is commonly two to three months. Documentation is usually straightforward because the society insists on it.
In the urbanised village cores of Kapashera, Palam, Najafgarh and Munirka, you deal directly with a landlord who may own several floors of one building. Leases are shorter and often unregistered, deposits are lower, and the flexibility that comes with that also means fewer protections. Ask specifically about the electricity arrangement, since sub-metered supply at a marked-up per-unit rate is common in the high-density rental blocks and can add materially to the monthly outgo.
In the rural belt, formal rental supply is thin and most transactions happen through local contacts rather than listings.
Whatever the belt, register the lease under the Registration Act, get the electricity and water arrangement in writing, and confirm whether the building sits inside a lal dora pocket if you intend to stay long.
We have deliberately published no rent figures or demand rankings, because there is no reliable public locality-level rent dataset for Delhi and any number here would be a guess dressed as a fact. For the wider South Delhi rental picture, see our list of all localities in South Delhi and the South Delhi postal code list.
Choosing Between the Belts
| If you want | Go to | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Planned housing, schools, parks, society management | Dwarka | Longest metro ride to central Delhi of the strong-connectivity options |
| The cheapest space per rupee in the district | Najafgarh | One metro line, long commute inward |
| Direct airport and Noida access on a mid budget | Palam, Dashrath Puri | Dense colonies, limited open space |
| A Gurugram commute above all else | Kapashera, Bijwasan, Rangpuri | No metro, and civic infrastructure lags the density |
| A central South Delhi address on a mid budget | Munirka, adjacent but not in the district | Crowded, little parking, small units |
| Land, quiet and genuinely rural surroundings | Chhawla, Ujwa, Jaffarpur belt | You will need your own vehicle for everything |
Why South West Delhi Deserves Attention
No other Delhi district has this combination: an international airport inside it, two expressway-grade links to Gurugram, four metro lines touching it, and a planned sub-city built after the metro rather than before it.
It also holds an unusual spread of housing within one district: planned society housing, DDA colonies, dense builder-floor colonies, urbanised village cores, a working town centre, purpose-built migrant rental blocks and genuinely agricultural villages. That is why "average rent in South West Delhi" is a meaningless figure, and why the district absorbs households at almost every budget without any one belt having to stretch to accommodate them. Very few Delhi districts can offer a society flat, a village room and a farmhouse plot inside the same administrative boundary.
Two employment geographies at once
Most Delhi districts face one job market. This one faces two, and they pull in opposite directions.
Gurugram's office corridors are reachable by road from the Kapashera, Bijwasan and Rangpuri belt, and Dwarka Expressway has shortened that further. Central Delhi's government and commercial employment is reachable by metro from Dwarka and the Palam belt. The airport sits between them and is itself one of the largest single employers in the district, across terminals, cargo, ground handling and the Mahipalpur hotel cluster.
That is why rental demand here runs on three separate engines rather than one, and why a slowdown in any one of them does not empty the district the way it would somewhere more single-purpose.
An education node that did not exist twenty years ago
Dwarka now holds Netaji Subhas University of Technology, a Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University campus and National Law University Delhi, and NSUT runs a West Campus at Jaffarpur Kalan on the former Ch. Brahm Prakash Government Engineering College site. That matters beyond the campuses: student demand reshapes rental supply in the sectors around them in a way a purely residential area never experiences, and it is the reason paying guest accommodation is a serious category in Dwarka and almost absent in Najafgarh.
What to be realistic about
Water supply and groundwater depletion are live issues across the western belt. Air quality along the NH-48 and airport corridor is affected by traffic volume. Last-mile connectivity from metro stations is inconsistent outside Dwarka, and two of the district's densest working populations, Kapashera and Mahipalpur, have no station at all. None of that makes the district a poor choice. It makes locality-level checking essential, which is what the rest of this page is for.
Administrative District vs Common Geographic Usage
- Officially in the district: the four sub-divisions and 76 revenue villages listed above, plus the planned colonies administered through the MCD wards inside them. Dwarka, Najafgarh, Palam, Sagarpur, Nasirpur, Bijwasan, Kapashera, Mahipalpur, Rangpuri, Samalka, Chhawla, Jaffarpur Kalan, Ujwa, Dhansa and Kakrola are all in.
- Commonly associated but administratively elsewhere: Munirka, JNU, Vasant Kunj, Vasant Vihar, R.K. Puram, Hauz Khas, Safdarjung Enclave, Chhatarpur, Mehrauli, Ghitorni, Rajokri, Delhi Cantt, Chanakyapuri, Naraina and Sarojini Nagar. Most carry a South West Delhi tag in India Post's records, which is why the confusion is both persistent and reasonable.
- Border and adjacent: Uttam Nagar, Mohan Garden, Bindapur, Dabri, Baprola and Hastsal, all in West district but against the South West boundary and routinely marketed as South West Delhi. Bindapur and Dabri genuinely were in the district until the end of 2025.
Why the four systems drifted apart
None of this is carelessness. Each boundary was drawn for a different job, at a different time, and none of them was ever obliged to match the others.
India Post's divisions follow sorting and delivery logistics, and they were laid out when Delhi's built-up area stopped well short of Dwarka. A delivery beat is efficient when it follows roads and mail volume, not when it follows a district line, so the New Delhi South West postal division grew southwards and eastwards into what is now South Delhi district and stayed there.
The revenue districts are the youngest of the four and the most frequently redrawn. Delhi had nine districts in 1997, eleven from 2012, and thirteen from January 2026, and the latest redraw deliberately aligned them with municipal zones rather than with anything postal.
Policing follows crime load and station catchments, which is why Delhi Police runs fifteen districts against the revenue system's thirteen, and why the South West district courts at Dwarka hear matters from police stations that sit in West revenue district.
Constituencies follow population, are redrawn by the Election Commission on its own delimitation cycle, and ignore all three of the others.
Use the revenue district for anything official, the PIN code for anything postal, and the locality name for everything else.
Conclusion
South West Delhi is not a single kind of place, and any page describing it as uniformly well connected or uniformly affordable is describing something that does not exist. Dwarka is a planned sub-city with three metro lines and organised society housing. Najafgarh is a market town at the end of the shortest line on the network. Kapashera is a high-density rental belt whose residents mostly work in another state. Chhawla and Ujwa are still farmland.
The PIN codes follow the same pattern. Twelve serve the district and they do not map neatly onto locality names. Dwarka alone uses three, Kapashera has two in circulation, and Najafgarh's 110043 reaches into localities that are administratively in West district.
The administrative picture changed on 1 January 2026, and more than most people realise. Kapashera stopped being a sub-division name, Matiala and Bijwasan started being ones, the airport belt moved in from New Delhi district, and Bindapur and Dabri moved out to West district. Most pages online still describe the old structure.
If you take one thing from this page: check the sub-division before you file a document, check the sector before you write a Dwarka PIN code, and check the metro line before you sign a lease.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the headquarters of South West Delhi district?
Kapashera. The office of the Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate (South West) is at the Old Terminal Tax Building, Kapashera, Delhi-110037. The Revenue Department lists this same address for the SDM offices of both Matiala and Bijwasan sub-divisions. Najafgarh's SDM office is at B-64A Tehsil Road, Turamandi, and Dwarka's is in Sector 10. The DC heads the district with an Additional District Magistrate, four Sub-Divisional Magistrates, Tehsildars, a Sub-Registrar and a Block Development Officer.
What areas fall under South West Delhi?
Four sub-divisions: Najafgarh, Matiala, Dwarka and Bijwasan, covering 76 revenue villages plus the planned colonies administered through the MCD wards inside them. The best-known areas are Dwarka, Najafgarh, Palam, Sagarpur, Nasirpur, Bijwasan, Kapashera, Mahipalpur, Rangpuri, Samalka, Kakrola, Chhawla, Jaffarpur Kalan, Ujwa and Dhansa. Lists that include Vasant Kunj, Vasant Vihar, R.K. Puram, Munirka or Hauz Khas are using India Post's postal label, not the revenue district.
How big is South West Delhi district?
The district administration publishes approximately 420 sq km and a population of 2,292,958 from Census 2011, with 77 villages. Those figures describe the district as it stood before January 2026. The reorganisation moved the airport belt and Sagarpur in and Bindapur and Dabri out, so both area and population have shifted, and the gazette schedule lists 76 villages rather than 77. No updated official figure has been published. District-level numbers on the new boundary will only follow the Census 2027 population enumeration, scheduled for February 2027.
Is Munirka part of South West Delhi?
It depends on which system you mean. Administratively, no: the revenue village Mohammadpur Munirka sits in Mehrauli sub-division, South Delhi district, under the December 2025 gazette. Before January 2026 it was in Vasant Vihar sub-division of New Delhi district. Postally, yes: India Post records the Munirka, J.N.U. and JNU New Campus sub-offices under the district name South West Delhi, in the New Delhi South West postal division. Munirka's PIN code is 110067 either way.
Which South West Delhi areas have the best metro connectivity?
Dwarka has the most lines: Blue Line sector stations, Grey Line to Najafgarh, and Airport Express at Sectors 21 and 25. For central Delhi, Dwarka on the Blue Line for cost or the Airport Express for speed. For Terminal 3, Dwarka Sector 21; for Terminal 1, Palam or Dashrath Puri on the Magenta Line. For Noida, the Palam belt, direct. For Gurugram, road from Bijwasan or Kapashera beats any metro route today. Kapashera and Mahipalpur have the weakest access relative to their population.
How many PIN codes does South West Delhi have?
Twelve serve the revenue district: 110037, 110043, 110045, 110046, 110061, 110071, 110072, 110073, 110075, 110077, 110078 and 110097. India Post's wider "South West Delhi" postal district spans roughly 29 PIN codes, because it also covers areas in South Delhi and New Delhi districts. Of the 135 post offices carrying that postal label, only 52 are actually inside the revenue district: 37 are in South Delhi and 31 in New Delhi. That gap is the single biggest source of wrong information about this district online.
Can one locality have more than one PIN code?
Yes, and here it is normal rather than exceptional. Dwarka uses three, split by sector groupings. Kapashera has 110097 for its post office and 110037 in widespread address use. Where a locality is large or straddles a delivery boundary, use the PIN code on an existing utility bill for that exact address rather than the one attached to the locality name.
Is Dwarka in South West Delhi or West Delhi?
South West Delhi. Dwarka is one of the district's four sub-divisions and its SDM office is in Sector 10, alongside the Dwarka Courts Complex which serves as the district court for South West Delhi. Some pincode directories tag Dwarka as West Delhi, which is wrong. The confusion is helped by Dwarka's assembly segment sitting inside the West Delhi Lok Sabha constituency.
What is the difference between Dwarka and Dwarka Mor?
Dwarka is the planned sub-city of numbered sectors. Dwarka Mor is the older, unplanned settlement just outside it on Najafgarh Road, near the Blue Line station of the same name. They are neighbours with very different housing, density and rent levels, and confusing them is the most common mistake renters make in this part of Delhi. If a listing quotes a Dwarka rent that looks too good, check whether the address is a numbered sector or a Dwarka Mor lane, because the two are often advertised under the same word.
Is Najafgarh in South West Delhi or West Delhi?
South West Delhi, and it is one of the four sub-divisions. The confusion comes from Najafgarh's assembly segment sitting inside the West Delhi Lok Sabha constituency, and from Najafgarh Road running deep into West district. Parliamentary and assembly boundaries do not follow revenue district boundaries anywhere in Delhi. Two localities that share Najafgarh's 110043 PIN code, Baprola and Tilangpur Kotla, genuinely are in West district, which adds to the impression that Najafgarh itself might be.
Is Kapashera in Delhi or Gurugram?
Delhi. Kapashera is a revenue village in Bijwasan sub-division of South West Delhi district, and the district headquarters building sits there. It is on the Delhi side of the Delhi-Gurugram border on Old Delhi-Gurgaon Road, which is why so many residents work in Gurugram and why postal and courier services sometimes mis-route mail across the state line. For anything official, a Kapashera address is a Delhi address, which means Delhi certificates, Delhi property registration and Delhi electricity, even if your office and your daily life are in Haryana.
Which assembly constituency is my locality in?
The district's ground is covered mainly by the Najafgarh, Matiala, Dwarka, Bijwasan and Palam assembly constituencies, which sit across the West Delhi and South Delhi parliamentary constituencies. Constituency boundaries are drawn by the Election Commission and do not match revenue sub-divisions, so your assembly segment and your SDM office can carry different names. Check your constituency on the electoral roll rather than inferring it from your sub-division.
Which SDM office do I go to for property registration?
The one for your sub-division, not the one nearest you. Kapashera, Bijwasan, Mahipalpur, Rangpuri, Samalka and the border belt go to Bijwasan. Sagarpur, Palam, Nasirpur and Mirzapur go to Dwarka in Sector 10. Najafgarh town and the western villages go to Najafgarh. The rural belt including Chhawla, Kakrola, Matiala and Paprawat goes to Matiala. Bijwasan and Matiala are both housed at the DC Office in Kapashera. Registration itself runs through the Sub-Registrar attached to that sub-division.
Why does my voter ID show a different district from my property papers?
Because they use different boundary systems. The electoral roll follows Election Commission constituencies, property papers follow the revenue district, mail follows India Post's postal district, and civic services follow MCD wards. All four can disagree for the same address, and none of them is an error. Use the revenue district for anything to do with land, certificates or registration. If a form asks simply for "district" with no further guidance, the revenue district is almost always the one intended, because that is the unit the issuing office belongs to.
What changed for residents on 1 January 2026, and do I need to do anything?
Administratively a lot changed; practically very little. Existing certificates, deeds and utility bills remain valid, and no re-registration is required. What changes is which office handles you in future: Kapashera sub-division no longer exists, so its work is now split between Bijwasan and Matiala. If you live in Bindapur or Dabri you now deal with West district, and if you live in Mahipalpur, Rangpuri, Samalka, Nangal Dewat, Bagdola or Sagarpur you now deal with South West Delhi rather than New Delhi district.
Can I use a Kapashera address for a Delhi domicile certificate?
Yes. Kapashera is inside Delhi, in Bijwasan sub-division of South West Delhi district, so a Kapashera address is a Delhi address for every official purpose including domicile. The application goes to the SDM office for Bijwasan sub-division, which is housed at the DC Office in Kapashera itself. The Delhi-Gurugram border running alongside the locality has no bearing on this. What does matter is the usual residence-proof requirement, which is harder to satisfy in the high-density rental blocks where tenancies are short and often unregistered.
Is Dwarka Expressway open, and does it help from South West Delhi?
The expressway links Dwarka to Gurugram's newer sectors and is the main reason road access from the Bijwasan and Kapashera belt into Gurugram improved. It matters most if you drive: it does not add any metro connection, and the belts it serves best, Bijwasan, Kapashera and Rangpuri, still have no station inside them. For a renter, treat it as a car-commute advantage rather than a general connectivity one. Check the current status of any specific stretch before you rely on it for a daily commute.
Which areas of South West Delhi are still rural?
The Matiala and Najafgarh sub-divisions hold most of the remaining rural land, in villages such as Chhawla, Ujwa, Jaffarpur Kalan, Dhansa, Issapur, Mitraon, Rawta, Kangan Heri and the Kharkhari cluster. The district administration itself describes Matiala as predominantly rural. Note that a village name alone is not evidence of rural status: many settlements that are still called villages were reclassified as urban decades ago.
How do I find the PIN code of a specific Dwarka sector?
Use the finder at the top of this page, then confirm against an existing bill for the building. Dwarka spans 110075, 110077 and 110078, and India Post does not publish the sector-by-sector boundary, so the safest confirmation is the PIN already printed on an electricity bill or a delivered parcel for that address. As a rough guide, the eastern sectors up to 12 sit in 110075, the western sectors from 20 to 25 in 110077, and the Kakrola and Dwarka Mor side in 110078, with the middle band straddling the boundary.
Why do some post offices in South West Delhi not deliver mail?
Because India Post separates booking counters from delivery beats. Several offices in this postal division, including all three under PIN 110067, are recorded as non-delivery offices: they accept bookings and provide counter services, but delivery to your door is run from a different office. The head office above 110067 is Sarojini Nagar H.O. This matters when a courier or a bank asks you to name your post office, because naming a non-delivery office can slow things down rather than speed them up.
Do all 76 revenue villages have their own PIN code?
No. Only 43 of them have a post office named after them. The other 33, including Rangpuri, Bamnoli, Toganpur, Salahpur, Matiala village, Mirzapur and the Kharkhari cluster, are served by a neighbouring delivery office. This page does not invent a PIN code for them, because assigning one without a source is exactly the error that produces the wrong figures found elsewhere online.
