To send funds, add the recipient as a beneficiary in your bank's online portal, key in the account number, paste the IFSC UTIB0000142, and confirm that the system picks up Axis Bank – PATNA. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

For a real-time, anytime transfer to Axis Bank – PATNA, use IMPS. With IFSC UTIB0000142 and the beneficiary's account number you can move up to ₹5 lakh per transaction with instant credit, any day of the year.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Patna

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 UTIB0000142:

• 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 PATNA is still linked to IFSC UTIB0000142.

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 PATNA branch, the IFSC UTIB0000142 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.

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 UTIB0000142 and the account number together uniquely identify the Patna branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.
