Branch details at a glance

About the bank

Bank of Baroda serves retail and corporate customers with a full range of deposit, lending, payments and digital banking products. Its Chas branch in Bokaro, Jharkhand is part of this network and uses the IFSC code BARB0DBCHAS for all electronic settlement.

About this branch

The branch is located at NAND NIWAS NEAR GARGA BRIDGECHECK POST DISTBOKARO CHAS BOKARO JHARKHAND 827013. It serves the Bokaro region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Bank of Baroda. The IFSC BARB0DBCHAS is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

Why every Bank of Baroda 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 CHAS of Bank of Baroda — its own 11-character IFSC. The code BARB0DBCHAS 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 BARB0DBCHAS 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 BARB0DBCHAS

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 BARB0DBCHAS across all three.

NEFT to Bank of Baroda, CHAS using IFSC BARB0DBCHAS

National Electronic Funds Transfer is the simplest way to move money into an account at this branch. NEFT works around the clock, including Sundays and public holidays, and settles in half-hourly batches.

To send funds, add the recipient as a beneficiary in your bank's online portal, key in the account number, paste the IFSC BARB0DBCHAS, and confirm that the system picks up Bank of Baroda – CHAS. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC BARB0DBCHAS

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 Bank of Baroda – CHAS, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC BARB0DBCHAS while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

IMPS to Bank of Baroda CHAS (IFSC BARB0DBCHAS)

IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC BARB0DBCHAS in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the CHAS branch account within seconds.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Chas

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 BARB0DBCHAS:

• 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 CHAS is still linked to IFSC BARB0DBCHAS.

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 Bank of Baroda's CHAS branch, the IFSC BARB0DBCHAS 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.

• Senior citizen accounts — concessional minimum balance and a small interest rate premium on FDs.
