From the point of view of server the process is reverse, it rewrites your forged static url to dynamic url that works to retrieve the dynamic content.

Your url in your website (request_uri) should be

http://localhost/pincode/postoffice/Ameda.php

And you .htaccess file in the webroot should contain:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^pincode/postoffice/(.*)\.php$ /pincode/pinpo.php?po=$1 [L]

In case you want to rewrite dynamic to look static, you still need two rewrite rules in order your dynamic data retrieval works, this way:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /                                
    #static to dynamic, with nol arg to prevent infinite looping    
    RewriteRule ^pincode/postoffice/([a-z0-9]+).php$ pincode/pinpo.php?nol&po=$1 [L]
    #dynamic to static:
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^po=([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$
    RewriteRule ^/pincode/pinpo.php$ pincode/postoffice/%1.php [L]

Use this in your pincode/.htaccess file

   RewriteEngine on
  RewriteBase /pincode/
RewriteRule ^postoffice/(.*)\.php$ /pincode/pinpo.php?po=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
