Area Code 1420 – Baswa/Bandikui, Rajasthan

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +91 1420 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Baswa and Bandikui region in the state of Rajasthan, India. This area falls under the Dausa district and is part of the Jaipur division. The code serves the town of Bandikui, a significant railway junction, and the surrounding rural areas, including Baswa and nearby villages. Administratively, the region is governed by the Dausa district authorities, and the telecom services are managed by the Rajasthan telecom circle under the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and other licensed operators.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

For callers within India, dialing a landline number in this region requires the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and the subscriber number. For example, to call a number in Bandikui from another Indian city, you would dial: 0 1420 XXXXXX. The local subscriber number is typically six digits long, making the complete national significant number (NSN) ten digits (including the leading '0').

For international callers, the format is: +91 1420 XXXXXX, where '+91' is the country calling code for India. When dialing from abroad, the trunk prefix '0' is omitted. For instance, a caller from the United States would dial: 011 91 1420 XXXXXX.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for the 1420 area. The region retains its distinct geographic code, and number portability is not applicable to landline services in the same manner as mobile numbers. However, fixed-line subscribers may have the option to retain their numbers if they relocate within the same exchange area, subject to operator policies.

Caller Instructions

Local callers within the 1420 area can often dial the six-digit subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the local exchange configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national format (0 1420 XXXXXX) when calling from mobile phones or from outside the immediate local calling area. For foreign callers, always use the international format (+91 1420 XXXXXX) to ensure proper routing through the global PSTN.

This geographic code is essential for businesses and residents in the Baswa-Bandikui region, as it facilitates reliable voice communication and is often used for fax and data services as well.
