Branch details at a glance

The role of IFSC in India's payments network

India's electronic payment infrastructure — NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI and the National Automated Clearing House (NACH) — is built on a single principle: every participating bank branch must be uniquely identifiable by an alphanumeric code. The Reserve Bank of India introduced the IFSC system to fulfil this requirement, and that is how Bank of India's HARSAON branch came to be assigned the code BKID0007111.

Whether you are receiving a salary on the first of the month, paying a vendor invoice, settling an EMI, or accepting a refund from an e-commerce platform, the IFSC is the silent piece of metadata that tells the network where your account lives. Without IFSC BKID0007111, money simply cannot be routed to the HARSAON branch electronically.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Bank of India carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC BKID0007111 and the account number together uniquely identify the Harsaon branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.

How to transfer money using IFSC BKID0007111

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 BKID0007111 across all three.

NEFT to Bank of India, HARSAON using IFSC BKID0007111

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 BKID0007111, and confirm that the system picks up Bank of India – HARSAON. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC BKID0007111

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 India – HARSAON, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC BKID0007111 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

IMPS to Bank of India HARSAON (IFSC BKID0007111)

IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC BKID0007111 in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the HARSAON branch account within seconds.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Harsaon

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 BKID0007111:

• 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 HARSAON is still linked to IFSC BKID0007111.

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.

UPI payments and IFSC BKID0007111

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 – HARSAON is still mapped to IFSC BKID0007111. 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 BKID0007111 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.

Common mistakes to avoid when using IFSC BKID0007111

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 India – HARSAON, 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: BKID0007111.
• 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.
