Postal information
Belgaum Pincode Guide
Belagavi city addresses use the 590xxx series, with the surrounding taluks running into 591xxx. Because area boundaries and post-office jurisdictions shift, treat the codes below as a starting point and confirm before printing stationery.
How the series is organised
| City series | 590 001 onwards — central Belagavi, Camp, Tilakwadi, Shahapur, Vadgaon, Udyambag and adjoining wards |
|---|---|
| Head post office | Belagavi Head Post Office, which anchors the 590 001 area |
| District series | 591 xxx — Gokak, Saundatti, Khanapur, Chikodi, Bailhongal and other taluks |
| State code | Karnataka — pincodes beginning with 5 |
| Confirming a code | Use the India Post pincode search, or the receipt from any local post office |
Writing an address that arrives
- Include the locality name — Camp, Tilakwadi, Vadgaon, Udyambag — because several streets repeat across the city.
- Add a landmark. Local delivery still runs on landmarks more than on plot numbers.
- Write Belagavi (or Belgaum) and the pincode on separate lines, and add a mobile number for courier deliveries.
Belgaum or Belagavi on the envelope?
Both work. The official name changed to Belagavi, but post and courier systems still recognise the older Belgaum spelling, and many local businesses use it because their records and signage predate the change.
Postal information is summarised for convenience. India Post is the authority for current pincodes and delivery jurisdictions.
