Understanding Post Office Types

India Post uses a three-tier hierarchy to organise postal delivery across Bharat.

HO

Head Office

The main postal hub for a division. Manages and coordinates all Sub and Branch Offices in its delivery area.

SO

Sub Office

Serves as the link between the Head Office and last-mile delivery. Oversees a group of Branch Offices.

BO

Branch Office

The last-mile delivery point for a locality. Serves individual households and businesses directly.
