I could put Head Post offices and Branch Post offices data with extracted Karnataka place nodes with postal_code tag - http://yogiks.github.io/osmplaces-pcodes/
More than half of the places in Karnataka which have post offices are been mapped with postal_code tag but few have been actually mapped with post offices. Also added this dataset as potential data source to map post offices in India to OSM wiki - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpost_office#Potential_data_source which could help mappers in India to map post offices. And there's *post_office:type*(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:post_office:type)**which is a sub-key of *amenity=post_office*. Although its differently used in different parts of the world, shall we use this key for specifying whether a post office is Head PO/Branch/Sub offices in India as per the pincode directory dataset.? -- Yogesh K S Sent from an Electronic Device
