Sargodha postal code
The postal code for Sargodha city is 40100. Use it on courier labels, bank and university forms, online shopping addresses and visa or embassy applications. Pakistan postal codes are five digits long.
40100 identifies the city's main postal zone. Other towns and tehsils in the district, such as Bhalwal or Shahpur, are served by their own post offices and can carry different codes, so check the code for the exact town before you send something important. The Pakistan Post website has a lookup tool.
How to write a Sargodha address
A clear address helps couriers and the post office deliver faster. Pakistani delivery works best when you include a landmark, because many streets and blocks are known locally by name rather than number.
- House or shop number, then street or block name
- Mohalla, colony or town (for example a housing scheme or road name)
- A well-known landmark nearby, such as a mosque, school or chowk
- Sargodha, Punjab, Pakistan 40100
- A working mobile number, since couriers usually phone before delivery
How to dial a Sargodha landline
Sargodha landline numbers are seven digits after the area code. How you dial depends on where you are calling from.
| Calling from | Dial |
|---|---|
| Inside Sargodha (same area code) | The local number, or 048 plus the number from a mobile |
| Another Pakistani city | 048 followed by the local number |
| Outside Pakistan | +92 48 followed by the local number (no leading zero) |
Mobile numbers do not use the area code
Mobile numbers in Pakistan start with 03 followed by an operator code, for example 0300 to 0309 for Jazz, 0310 to 0319 for Zong, 0330 to 0339 for Ufone and 0340 to 0349 for Telenor. These codes belong to the operator, not to a place, so a number starting 0300 does not tell you the person is in Sargodha. From abroad, drop the leading zero and dial +92 3XX followed by the seven-digit number.
