Frequently asked questions

What is the postal code of Wah Cantt?

The general/GPO postal code for Wah Cantt is 47040.

Is the postal code the same as the zip code in Pakistan?

Yes. "Zip code" is the American term; Pakistan officially uses "postal code," but both refer to the same 5-digit number.

Does every colony or mohalla in Wah Cantt have its own postal code?

No. Only a limited number of localities — mainly older, larger post-office-linked areas like Lala Rukh, Lalazar, and Sadat Colony — have a distinct code. Newer colonies, societies, and markets use the shared 47040 GPO code.

What postal code should I use for Taxila?

Taxila and Taxila Cantt are administered separately from Wah Cantt town and have their own codes (Taxila: 47080, Taxila Cantt: 47070) — use those instead of 47040 if your address is in Taxila.
