I am attaching a csv file that contain all the pincodes for each ward extracted from this shape file. For e.g. "A" ward is part of Pincode numbers 400001, 400002, 3, 5, 9, 20, 21, 23, 39 etc.

Here is the python code used for this...
https://gist.github.com/shantanuo/05187dd23b96f5e92f6b

The shape file has 24 wards, for e.g. ward "A", ward "B" and so on. Each ward's boundaries are mentioned in the "shape" array. The python script will perform reverse lookup on each point and find the complete address (for e.g. Carnac Road, Ballard Estate, Masjid Bunder, Mumbai, Greater Bombay, Maharashtra, 400003, India). Pincode from this address can be extracted using regular expression. The unique, sorted pincodes for each ward can be exported to csv using indispensable python library called "pandas".

I hope this helps someone.

And if you need to find which ward does a location is situated, you can use point_in_poly function.

some_place_lat=19.1645972
some_place_lon=72.8496286

for id in range(len(r.shapes())):
    geom = r.shape(id)
    if point_in_poly(some_place_lon, some_place_lat, geom.points):
        print r.records()[id][2]

This is a loop that considers all wards and checks if the given location (some_place) falls within it. The above code will return "P/S" (P south) which I guess is correct. The function point_in_poly can be found here...

Here is the API access that will return the ward once you provide Latitude and Longitude.

https://291w32lbja.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/stag/mward?lat=19.1645972&lon=72.8496286

The above page is correctly returning P/S (p south)
This may be useful if someone wants to add the ward lookup feature in their application (for e.g. mobile app)
