Branch details at a glance

Choudwar branch overview

Located at AXIS BANK LTD, GROUND FLOOR, KCM PLAZA, NH 55, AT PO CHOUDWAR, the Choudwar branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC UTIB0005659 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

Why every Axis Bank branch has a unique IFSC

Before electronic settlement systems went live in India, money transfers between banks relied heavily on demand drafts, mail transfers and telegraphic transfers. These older instruments routinely took days to clear and were prone to misrouting because there was no single machine-readable identifier for a branch. The Reserve Bank of India solved this by issuing each participating branch — including CHOUDWAR of Axis Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code UTIB0005659 is therefore not just an internal reference; it is the digital postcode that lets the RBI's NEFT, RTGS and IMPS rails route funds straight to the right branch ledger without any human intervention.

Today, almost every salary credit, vendor payment, refund and EMI deduction in the country flows through this network, which is exactly why a correct IFSC matters so much. A wrong character can either bounce the transfer or send it to the wrong branch, and reversing such a credit is a manual, time-consuming process. Treat IFSC UTIB0005659 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

How to transfer money using IFSC UTIB0005659

How to use IFSC UTIB0005659 for an NEFT transfer

NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is the most widely used method for sending money to Axis Bank's CHOUDWAR branch. NEFT now settles on a 24x7 basis in half-hourly batches and has no upper limit for retail customers (individual banks may impose their own caps).

2. Choose Add Beneficiary and select NEFT / Other Bank.
3. Enter the beneficiary name, account number and the IFSC UTIB0005659.
4. Confirm the bank name auto-populates as Axis Bank and the branch as CHOUDWAR.
5. Approve the beneficiary using OTP. Once activated, transfer any amount and the credit will reflect in the next NEFT cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC UTIB0005659

RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) is the fastest high-value transfer mechanism in India. It is meant for transfers of ₹2 lakh and above and settles each transaction individually and instantly. To remit through RTGS to Axis Bank – CHOUDWAR, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC UTIB0005659 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

IMPS to Axis Bank CHOUDWAR (IFSC UTIB0005659)

IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC UTIB0005659 in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the CHOUDWAR branch account within seconds.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Choudwar

The right transfer rail depends on how urgent the payment is, how large it is, and whether the receiving bank participates in the chosen scheme. Every option below works with the IFSC UTIB0005659:

• NEFT — best for everyday transfers of any amount; settles in half-hourly batches around the clock.
• RTGS — best for transfers of ₹2 lakh and above; settles each transaction individually in real time.
• IMPS — best when speed matters more than batch scheduling; instant credit up to ₹5 lakh.
• UPI — best for small peer-to-peer payments using a VPA; the underlying account at CHOUDWAR is still linked to IFSC UTIB0005659.

For salary credits, vendor payouts and refunds, employers and merchants usually default to NEFT because of its zero per-transaction cost for retail customers and its 24x7 availability.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code

UPI lets you pay using a short Virtual Payment Address instead of typing the IFSC every time, but behind the scenes every UPI mandate is mapped to an account number plus an IFSC. For accounts at Axis Bank's CHOUDWAR branch, the IFSC UTIB0005659 is what the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) uses to route the credit when you tap Pay on a UPI app.

That is why, even in the UPI era, it is still worth knowing the IFSC of your home branch — for failed UPI mandates, e-mandate set-ups, third-party platform onboarding and salary or refund credits.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Axis Bank carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC UTIB0005659 and the account number together uniquely identify the Choudwar branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.
