I have finally found my Whale!! For a Long time, I have been searching for an example of a Pincode, which delivers to only a specific Government Office/Institution. I finally found this link to a circular on the ICAR site, which says that pincode 110114 has been assigned to it. https://icar.org.in/files/circulars/new_pin.pdf
Strangely enough, this pincode is nowhere to be found. It is not present in the All India Pincode Directory on data.gov.in, nor on the India Posts Site, nor on the Bhuvan Site. It not present even in the Contact us Section of the ICAR website. Why it is not present, is one of the many unsolved mysteries of the Indian Government.
