## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to look up Indian post office branches by name and retrieve their administrative location details (district, state, circle). Ideal for address verification, logistics routing, or enriching postal data with geographic context. Prefer this over a general geocoding API when you specifically need official India Department of Posts branch metadata.
