Mokokchung branch overview

Located at JAMIRS ENCLAVE, OPP. LOCAL GROUND, ADJACENT TO NCC OFFICE, ARKONG WARD, MOKOKCHUNG, NAGALAND, PIN 798601, the Mokokchung branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC UTIB0000896 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 MOKOKCHUNG of Axis Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code UTIB0000896 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 UTIB0000896 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 UTIB0000896

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 MOKOKCHUNG branch, the IFSC UTIB0000896 is what the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) uses to route the credit when you tap Pay on a UPI app.
