    Commemorative stamp

    Using India Post, Amazon India has delivered customer orders to every serviceable India Postal Index Number (PIN) code — more than 20,000 PIN codes in all (a PIN code is like a zip code).

    In 2016, India Post issued an Amazon India "My Stamp" to celebrate the marketplace’s third anniversary in the country. It has a value of 5 Indian Rupees, or about 7 cents.
