About Bank of India
Bank of India operates a wide network of branches across India, including the Limkheda branch in Dohad. Each branch is enabled for NEFT, RTGS, IMPS and core banking, allowing customers to send and receive money anywhere in the country using a unique IFSC – in this case, BKID0002918.
Limkheda branch overview
Located at LIMKHEDA BRANCH BAZAR LIMDI ZALOD ROAD LIMKHEDA DIST DAHOD PIN 389140, the Limkheda branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC BKID0002918 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.
Why every Bank of India 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 LIMKHEDA of Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code BKID0002918 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 BKID0002918 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 BKID0002918
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 BKID0002918 across all three.

UPI payments and IFSC BKID0002918
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 India – LIMKHEDA is still mapped to IFSC BKID0002918. 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 BKID0002918 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
