Area Code 1334 – Roorkee/Haridwar, Uttarakhand

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +91 1334 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Roorkee–Haridwar region in the state of Uttarakhand, India. This code serves the administrative districts of Haridwar and the historic cantonment town of Roorkee, including surrounding towns and villages. The region falls under the jurisdiction of the Uttarakhand Telecom Circle (BSNL) and is part of the Western Uttar Pradesh–Uttarakhand numbering plan area. The primary cities covered by this code are Roorkee, Haridwar, and the pilgrimage town of Rishikesh (though Rishikesh is partially served by the adjacent +91 135 code for Dehradun). Suburban areas such as Laksar, Manglaur, and Bahadrabad also fall under this prefix.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For callers within India, the local dialing format for numbers in this code is 0-1334-XXXXXX (where XXXXXX is the 6-digit subscriber number). For example, a local call to a landline in Roorkee would be dialed as 01334-123456. For international callers, the format is +91-1334-XXXXXX (or 011-91-1334-XXXXXX when dialing from North America). When calling from a mobile phone within India, it is common practice to dial the full 10-digit number including the area code, even for local calls, as mobile networks route based on the complete number. For example, a mobile user in Haridwar calling another landline in the same city would dial 01334-123456.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T and DoT (Department of Telecommunications) updates, there is no overlay code for the 1334 area. The region uses a 6-digit subscriber numbering system, resulting in a total of 10 digits for the complete national significant number (NDC + subscriber number). The code is exclusively geographic, meaning it is tied to the physical location of the fixed-line connection. However, with the advent of number portability, a subscriber may retain this number even if they relocate, but the number remains associated with the original geographic tariff and routing. For callers, it is important to note that calls to this code are charged as local or STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialing) depending on the caller's location, and not as mobile rates.

Practical Information for Callers

• Local callers (within 1334 area): Dial only the 6-digit subscriber number (e.g., 123456) when calling from a fixed line in the same area. From a mobile, dial 01334-123456.
• National callers (outside 1334): Dial 0-1334-XXXXXX (e.g., 01334-123456).
• International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00, 011) followed by 91, then 1334, and the 6-digit number (e.g., +91 1334 123456).
• Emergency and special services: For police, fire, or ambulance, use the national emergency numbers (100, 101, 102) which are not tied to this area code.

This area code is essential for businesses and individuals in the region, as it provides a stable and recognizable geographic identity for fixed-line services. For up-to-date information on number allocation and any changes, always refer to the official DoT notifications.
