Branch details at a glance

Bank profile

Axis Bank is among the recognised banks listed on the Reserve Bank of India's payments network. The Surya Nagar branch — IFSC UTIB0005017 — extends the bank's services to customers in and around Nagpur, Maharashtra.

About this branch

The branch is located at GROUND FLOOR PLOT NO 14, OPPOSITE PNB BANK, KALAMNA ROAD, SURYA NAGAR, DIST NAGPUR, MAHARASHTRA. It serves the Nagpur region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Axis Bank. The IFSC UTIB0005017 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

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 SURYA NAGAR of Axis Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code UTIB0005017 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 UTIB0005017 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 UTIB0005017

Online transfers in India are powered by three major channels — NEFT, RTGS and IMPS — and each one requires a destination IFSC. Below is a quick guide for using IFSC UTIB0005017 across all three.

How to use IFSC UTIB0005017 for an NEFT transfer

NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is the most widely used method for sending money to Axis Bank's SURYA NAGAR 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).

1. Log in to your internet banking or mobile banking app.
2. Choose Add Beneficiary and select NEFT / Other Bank.
3. Enter the beneficiary name, account number and the IFSC UTIB0005017.
4. Confirm the bank name auto-populates as Axis Bank and the branch as SURYA NAGAR.
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 UTIB0005017

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 – SURYA NAGAR, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC UTIB0005017 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

Send money instantly through IMPS

For a real-time, anytime transfer to Axis Bank – SURYA NAGAR, use IMPS. With IFSC UTIB0005017 and the beneficiary's account number you can move up to ₹5 lakh per transaction with instant credit, any day of the year.

NEFT vs RTGS vs IMPS — which one should you use?

All three modes accept the IFSC UTIB0005017 for Axis Bank – SURYA NAGAR, but they differ in speed, minimum amount and use case. The table below summarises the differences so you can pick the right channel for the situation at hand.

For most retail customers crediting the Surya Nagar branch, NEFT or IMPS will be the quickest and most economical option. RTGS comes in for one-off, high-value movements such as property purchases, vendor settlements or large gifts.

UPI payments and IFSC UTIB0005017

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India. While most UPI transactions are addressed using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) like name@bank, the underlying account at Axis Bank – SURYA NAGAR is still mapped to IFSC UTIB0005017. When a customer links a savings or current account to a UPI app for the first time, the app silently looks up this IFSC against the account number to verify the account exists. The VPA acts as a friendly alias on top of the same plumbing.

If a UPI transfer to or from this branch fails, the most common reasons are an inactive UPI handle, a daily limit breach or a temporary outage at one of the participating banks — not the IFSC. You can always fall back to NEFT or IMPS using the IFSC UTIB0005017 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
