I'm trying to find out where to download Postal Code boundaries (e.g. Shapefiles, GML, KML) for India. This data needs to be compatible with a typical GIS software (e.g. ArcGIS, QGIS).
Can someone point me to a data source for this?

Not an answer, but too long for a comment.

http://postalcode.globefeed.com/india_postal_code.asp (sublinks may be helpful, but are not in GIS format)
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/datameet/MWbzzQJ0BcI (one of a couple of pages that suggests this data isn't well-defined)

To be fair, this is all google stuff, so you've probably seen it.

I have seen all of this and nothing found... Maybe there is some solution to select specific postal code from some other data which contain information about it (example from street data, buildings or something like that...).– SlobodanNov 20, 2016 at 9:22
You won't find them, since no one (not even the Postal Department) has Authentic Boundaries.I admire your persistence in trying to find them. I suppose this begs the question, have you actually seen some resource that purports to have this information, and this is the source that you are looking for?
