Good to know about Kochi's AO Code

• Central Kochi (roughly PIN 682001–682042) uses one ward; Cheranellur and the eastern belt (682301–682316) use another — the code above already reflects which applies to your PIN.

What is an AO Code and why does Kochi need one?

An Assessing Officer (AO) Code is a four-part identifier — Area Code, AO Type, Range Code, and AO Number — that the Income Tax Department uses to assign your PAN card to a specific tax jurisdiction. Every PAN application (Form 49A) requires you to fill in the correct AO Code for your city of residence.

For residents of Kochi, Kerala, the AO Code depends on your exact PIN code and whether you're applying as an individual, a company, or a trust/NGO. Different PIN codes within Kochi can map to different wards and range codes.
