Karkardooma PIN code and area guide: 110092 and the neighbourhood around it
Karkardooma is a locality in East Delhi, on the eastern side of the Yamuna. It is best known for the Karkardooma Courts complex, the Karkarduma metro interchange and, just to the north, the CBD Shahdara business district with Cross River Mall. If you need its PIN code for a form, a courier or a court filing, here is the answer, plus a short guide to the neighbourhood.
Karkardooma PIN code
The PIN code for Karkardooma is 110092. Delhi Metro's own address for Karkarduma Court station uses it, and it is shared with several neighbouring East Delhi localities.
Because one PIN code can cover several post offices and many localities in Delhi, and because nearby areas such as Vishwas Nagar use a different code, always confirm the exact code for a specific building on the India Post PIN code search before you send anything important.

Useful checks before a visit
- Court visits: confirm your listing on the eCourts services portal or the Delhi district courts website.

- Metro timings: check first and last trains on the DMRC website or app.
Why Delhi PIN codes cause confusion
A PIN code (Postal Index Number) identifies a delivery post office, not a neighbourhood. In a dense city like Delhi, one delivery office can serve many colonies, and the boundary between two codes can run down the middle of a road. That is why Karkardooma and Anand Vihar share 110092 while Vishwas Nagar, just across Maharaja Surajmal Marg from parts of Karkardooma, is usually 110032.
A few practical consequences:
- Online shopping: if an app rejects your PIN code or suggests a different locality, check the exact building address on India Post's search before you change anything.
- Government forms: use the PIN code shown on an official document for that address, such as an electricity bill or property paper.
- Court filings: addresses in the Karkardooma Courts complex itself use 110092.
Neighbourhoods around Karkardooma
| Area | Direction from Karkardooma | Known for |

| Anand Vihar | East | ISBT, railway terminal, Namo Bharat station |
| CBD Shahdara / Vishwas Nagar | North | Offices, Cross River Mall, Unity One Mall |
| Krishna Nagar | North-west | Markets and residential lanes, Pink Line station |

If you are visiting for the first time, the metro is the easiest way to move between these areas; the roads between them are often congested at peak hours.
