About the bank

Bank of India serves retail and corporate customers with a full range of deposit, lending, payments and digital banking products. Its Madkhol branch in Sindhudurg Mh, Maharashtra is part of this network and uses the IFSC code BKID0001491 for all electronic settlement.

Madkhol branch overview

Located at AT DHAWADKIPOST MADKHOLTALUKA SAWANTWADIDIST SINDHUDURG, the Madkhol branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC BKID0001491 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 MADKHOL of Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code BKID0001491 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 BKID0001491 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 BKID0001491

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 BKID0001491 across all three.

NEFT to Bank of India, MADKHOL using IFSC BKID0001491

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 BKID0001491, and confirm that the system picks up Bank of India – MADKHOL. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC BKID0001491

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 – MADKHOL, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC BKID0001491 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

IMPS to Bank of India MADKHOL (IFSC BKID0001491)

IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC BKID0001491 in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the MADKHOL branch account within seconds.

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

All three modes accept the IFSC BKID0001491 for Bank of India – MADKHOL, 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 Madkhol 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 BKID0001491

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 – MADKHOL is still mapped to IFSC BKID0001491. 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 BKID0001491 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
