SATIK DEVELOPER DOCS · V1 BETA

A location bucket. Not an identity.

DIGIPIN describes a small patch of ground, not a flat, household, or person.

Ten characters, computed offline

Satik computes the India Post grid offline.

Location precision
RepresentationWhat it describes
Full 10-character codeA cell around 4 metres across. It does not identify a flat, household or person.
Eight-character prefixA coarser location bucket used for area context.

Boundaries

Satik chooses the north/east cell at exact internal grid boundaries and clamps the outer edges inward. Out-of-bounds coordinates are rejected; a valid code alone does not establish that an address is in India.
