Yes, we can't use Google's data. I was wondering if the polygons made using the vornoi polygons method on the geo-referenced post offices obtained through bhuvan has been verified by someone using Google maps or any other authentic source. Also, during my research I found that only Google provided pincode boundaries. Also the polygons can be created using bhuvan's lat/lon search (In which it gives the pin code of the post office which lies withing 1 km of the lat/lon).
