Along VIP Road, three names keep turning up together in addresses and in property searches: Lake Town, Bangur Avenue and Krishnapur Kestopur. They are close neighbours, but they are served by different post offices and different PIN codes, and some addresses mix the names. This guide sets the codes side by side, explains why Bangur Avenue Lake Town addresses can confuse, and shows how to write each address correctly.
Bangur PIN code, Kolkata: Bangur Avenue and Lake Town at a glance
| Area | PIN code | India Post office | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
Lake Town | 700089 | Lake Town (North 24 Parganas) sub-office; Kalindi Housing Estate shares the PIN | Falls under Lake Town police station. Some sources also list 700048 for parts of it |
Bangur Avenue | 700055 | Bangur Avenue sub-office (non-delivery); Dum Dum Park and Shyamnagar share the PIN | Jessore Road runs along its north boundary and VIP Road along its south |
Krishnapur Kestopur | 700102 | Krishnapur (North 24 Parganas) sub-office | Most Kestopur addresses |
Kestopur, Prafulla Kanan area | 700101 | Prafulla Kanan | For example Rabindrapally |
Kestopur, Baguiati–Teghoria side | 700059 | Arjunpur area | The stretch of VIP Road towards Teghoria |
PIN codes can differ from one street to the next, so treat this as a guide and confirm the code on the address in your documents.
Bangur Avenue Lake Town: why addresses use both names
Bangur Avenue lies within the Lake Town police station area, and India Post’s address listings for Bangur Avenue carry “Lake Town” as a line, as in “Bangur Avenue, Lake Town, Kolkata 700055”. Lake Town proper uses 700089. Business listings show the same pattern, with “Block A, Bangur Avenue, Lake Town” under 700055 and “Block A, Lake Town” under 700089. So two flats that both say “Block A” and “Lake Town” can sit under different PIN codes.
Bangur Avenue’s own sub-office is a non-delivery office, which is another reason the PIN code, not the name, is what to rely on. If you are comparing flats there, read our guide to flats in Lake Town and Bangur Avenue.
Krishnapur Kestopur PIN code
Krishnapur is the official name of Kestopur, and the main post office is called Krishnapur, so the standard address reads “Krishnapur, Kestopur, Kolkata 700102”. That is the Krishnapur Kestopur PIN code: 700102. Some business listings also show 700102 for addresses on the New Town side of the canal, so rely on the full address and not on the PIN alone. Our Kestopur PIN code guide explains each code in detail. For which district Kestopur is in and its localities, see our Kestopur at a glance guide.
Kestopur Kolkata PIN code: three codes, one neighbourhood
Because Kestopur is large, the Kestopur Kolkata PIN code changes with the street. Here is how it falls for Krishna Group’s developments, using the PIN code in each project address:
| Project | Locality | PIN code | Starting prices | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Rabindrapally | 700101 | From ₹26 lakh | Ready to move, CC received, no GST | |
Mission Bazar, Krishnapur | 700102 | From ₹45 lakh | Ready to move, CC received, no GST | |
Barowaritala Bus Stand, Krishnapur | 700102 | From ₹29 lakh | Ready to move | |
Tarulia, Krishnapur | 700102 | From ₹49 lakh | Ready to move, CC received, no GST | |
Kestopur Canal Side Road, Krishnapur | 700102 | From ₹32 lakh | Available |
Starting prices are for the lowest-priced available unit, and availability changes. Confirm the PIN code on your agreement.
