Area Code 141 – Jaipur, Rajasthan

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

Area code 141 is the National Destination Code (NDC) for the city of Jaipur, the capital of the state of Rajasthan, India. It serves the entire Jaipur district, including the municipal corporation area and surrounding suburban regions. As a geographic code, it is assigned to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and is used for fixed-line services. The administrative jurisdiction covers the Jaipur Metropolitan Region, which includes areas such as Malviya Nagar, C-Scheme, and Vaishali Nagar.

Dialing Formats

For local callers within Jaipur, the number is dialed as an 8-digit local number (e.g., 1234 5678). For callers from other parts of India, the full national format is used: 0 141 1234 5678. International callers must dial the country code for India, followed by the area code without the leading trunk prefix '0': +91 141 1234 5678. This format complies with ITU-T E.164 recommendations.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for Jaipur; the 141 code is the sole geographic code for the city. However, with the growth of telecommunications, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) may introduce additional codes in the future. Subscribers within the 141 area can dial local numbers directly without the area code, but when calling from outside, the trunk prefix '0' is mandatory for domestic calls.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Jaipur): Dial the 8-digit subscriber number directly.
• Domestic callers (outside Jaipur): Dial 0-141-XXXX XXXX.
• International callers: Dial +91-141-XXXX XXXX (replace the leading '0' with +91).

It is important to note that while VoIP services may allow alternative dialing patterns, the standard PSTN routing remains as described.
