Branch details at a glance

Branch branch overview

Located at AT RATANPUR PO.PANASI VIA ISLAMPUR, DIST.KISHANGANJ, BIHAR - 855 117., the Branch branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC BARB0RATBIH is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

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 BRANCH of Bank of Baroda — its own 11-character IFSC. The code BARB0RATBIH 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 BARB0RATBIH 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 BARB0RATBIH

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 BARB0RATBIH across all three.

How to use IFSC BARB0RATBIH for an NEFT transfer

NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is the most widely used method for sending money to Bank of Baroda's BRANCH 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 BARB0RATBIH.
4. Confirm the bank name auto-populates as Bank of Baroda and the branch as BRANCH.
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 BARB0RATBIH

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 – BRANCH, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC BARB0RATBIH while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

IMPS to Bank of Baroda BRANCH (IFSC BARB0RATBIH)

IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC BARB0RATBIH in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the BRANCH branch account within seconds.

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

All three modes accept the IFSC BARB0RATBIH for Bank of Baroda – BRANCH, 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 Branch 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 BARB0RATBIH

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 Bank of Baroda – BRANCH is still mapped to IFSC BARB0RATBIH. 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 BARB0RATBIH and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.

Online banking and IFSC BARB0RATBIH

Bank of Baroda customers can register for net banking and the bank's official mobile app once their account at the BRANCH branch is active. Net banking lets you view balances, download statements, open fixed deposits, request cheque books and initiate NEFT/RTGS/IMPS transfers — all without setting foot in the branch. The IFSC BARB0RATBIH is pre-filled by the bank for transfers originating from your own account, and you only need to enter it manually when adding an external beneficiary or sharing your account details with a third party.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Bank of Baroda carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC BARB0RATBIH and the account number together uniquely identify the Branch branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.

Common mistakes to avoid when using IFSC BARB0RATBIH

An incorrect IFSC almost always results in a failed transfer or, worse, a credit to the wrong branch. Before you click Confirm on a transfer to Bank of Baroda – BRANCH, double-check for these issues:

• Confusing 0 with O. The fifth character of every IFSC is the digit 0, not the letter O. Read carefully.
• Spaces or hyphens. Do not put spaces in the IFSC. It is exactly 11 characters: BARB0RATBIH.
• Wrong branch. A bank can have dozens of branches in the same city. Make sure you are using the IFSC for the actual branch where the beneficiary holds the account, not just any nearby branch.
• Old IFSC after a merger. If two banks have merged, the IFSC may have been reissued. Always verify with a recent passbook or cheque leaf.
• Copy-paste from chat. Auto-correct on phones can silently change letters in IFSC codes. Type carefully or copy from a trusted source like the cheque book.
