Branch details at a glance

Gorakhnath Temple branch overview

Located at NATHMAL PUR NEAR ANAND LOK HOSPITALGORAKHNATH ROAD GORAKHPUR, the Gorakhnath Temple branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC BKID0007181 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 GORAKHNATH TEMPLE of Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code BKID0007181 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 BKID0007181 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code

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.

Common mistakes to avoid when using IFSC BKID0007181

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 – GORAKHNATH TEMPLE, 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: BKID0007181.
• 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.
