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 TENTULIA BOKARO of Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code BKID0005859 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 BKID0005859 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.
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 BKID0005859 and the account number together uniquely identify the Tentulia Bokaro branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.
How to transfer money using IFSC BKID0005859
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 BKID0005859 across all three.
How to use IFSC BKID0005859 for an NEFT transfer
NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is the most widely used method for sending money to Bank of India's TENTULIA BOKARO 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).
- Log in to your internet banking or mobile banking app.
- Choose Add Beneficiary and select NEFT / Other Bank.
- Enter the beneficiary name, account number and the IFSC BKID0005859.
- Confirm the bank name auto-populates as Bank of India and the branch as TENTULIA BOKARO.
- Approve the beneficiary using OTP. Once activated, transfer any amount and the credit will reflect in the next NEFT cycle.
RTGS transfers via IFSC BKID0005859
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 – TENTULIA BOKARO, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC BKID0005859 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.
IMPS to Bank of India TENTULIA BOKARO (IFSC BKID0005859)
IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC BKID0005859 in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the TENTULIA BOKARO branch account within seconds.
Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Tentulia Bokaro
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 BKID0005859:
- 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 TENTULIA BOKARO is still linked to IFSC BKID0005859.
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 BKID0005859
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 – TENTULIA BOKARO is still mapped to IFSC BKID0005859. 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 BKID0005859 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
