Using Indian State Codes in Code

Get All Indian Subdivisions

import { subdivision } from '@koshmoney/countries';
 
const all = subdivision.forCountry('IN');
console.log(all.length);  // 36
 
// Filter by type
const states = all.filter(s => s.type === 'State');
// 28 states
 
const unionTerritories = all.filter(s => s.type === 'Union territory');
// 8 union territories

Look Up a Specific State

import { subdivision } from '@koshmoney/countries';
 
subdivision.whereCode('IN-MH');
// { code: 'IN-MH', name: 'Maharashtra', type: 'State', countryCode: 'IN', regionCode: 'MH' }
 
subdivision.where('IN', 'KA');
// { code: 'IN-KA', name: 'Karnataka', type: 'State', countryCode: 'IN', regionCode: 'KA' }

Validate a State Code

import { subdivision } from '@koshmoney/countries';
 
subdivision.isValidCode('IN-TN');       // true (Tamil Nadu)
subdivision.isValidCode('IN-XX');       // false
subdivision.isValidRegion('IN', 'DL');  // true (Delhi)
subdivision.isValidRegion('IN', 'CA');  // false (CA is US/Canadian)

import { subdivision } from '@koshmoney/countries';
 
const options = subdivision.forCountry('IN')
  .sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name))
  .map(s => ({
    value: s.code.split('-')[1],
    label: s.name,
  }));
 
// [{ value: 'AN', label: 'Andaman and Nicobar Islands' }, { value: 'AP', label: 'Andhra Pradesh' }, ...]

Tree-Shaking: Load Only Indian Data

import '@koshmoney/countries/subdivision/IN';
import { forCountry } from '@koshmoney/countries/subdivision';
 
const states = forCountry('IN');  // 36 subdivisions

PIN Code Validation

India uses 6-digit PIN (Postal Index Number) codes:

import { postalCode } from '@koshmoney/countries';
 
postalCode.isValid('IN', '110001');  // true (New Delhi)
postalCode.isValid('IN', '400001');  // true (Mumbai)
postalCode.isValid('IN', '12345');   // false (only 5 digits)
 
postalCode.getName('IN');    // 'PIN Code'
postalCode.getFormat('IN');  // 'NNNNNN'

PIN Code Ranges by State

The first digit of a PIN code indicates the postal zone:

First Digit	Zone	States Covered
1	Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, HP, J&K, Ladakh, Chandigarh	Northern India
2	UP, Uttarakhand	Northern India
3	Rajasthan, Gujarat, DH, DD	Western India
