3. The Sub-district code of 5 digits continuous code within India has been used.
4. The Village code of 6 digits has been used continuous code within India. Range of 000001 � 799999 has been kept for Villages. The Census Towns and OGs which are treated as urban for census purpose have also been included in the Rural Directory. The town code (only statutory towns) have been numbered within India. The town code range is 800001 - 899999.
