PIN codes: from the Local Government Directory's village–pincode list (Ministry of Panchayati Raj), joined by LGD village code — read from the community mirror at github.com/ramSeraph/opendata, since the official download sits behind a CAPTCHA. A PIN is used only if it is six digits in the village's state postal zone. For the few villages LGD leaves out, India Post's All India Pincode Directory (Department of Posts, via data.gov.in, Government Open Data Licence – India) is used, but only when a post office of the village's own name is in the same district and the match is unique on both sides. Where the two sources disagree we show LGD's PIN and keep the other for review; villages with neither show no PIN rather than a guessed one.
