Branch details at a glance

About Bank of Maharashtra

Bank of Maharashtra operates a wide network of branches across India, including the Koramangala branch in Bengaluru. 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, MAHB0001146.

Koramangala branch overview

Located at 440, 8TH MAIN4TH BLOCK, KORAMANGALA, BENGALURU, the Koramangala branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC MAHB0001146 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

Why every Bank of Maharashtra 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 KORAMANGALA of Bank of Maharashtra — its own 11-character IFSC. The code MAHB0001146 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 MAHB0001146 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 MAHB0001146

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 MAHB0001146 across all three.

How to use IFSC MAHB0001146 for an NEFT transfer

NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is the most widely used method for sending money to Bank of Maharashtra's KORAMANGALA 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).

1. Log in to your internet banking or mobile banking app.
2. Choose Add Beneficiary and select NEFT / Other Bank.
3. Enter the beneficiary name, account number and the IFSC MAHB0001146.
4. Confirm the bank name auto-populates as Bank of Maharashtra and the branch as KORAMANGALA.
5. Approve the beneficiary using OTP. Once activated, transfer any amount and the credit will reflect in the next NEFT cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC MAHB0001146

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 Maharashtra – KORAMANGALA, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC MAHB0001146 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

IMPS to Bank of Maharashtra KORAMANGALA (IFSC MAHB0001146)

IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC MAHB0001146 in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the KORAMANGALA branch account within seconds.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Koramangala

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 MAHB0001146:

• 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 KORAMANGALA is still linked to IFSC MAHB0001146.

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 MAHB0001146

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 Maharashtra – KORAMANGALA is still mapped to IFSC MAHB0001146. 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 MAHB0001146 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.

Common mistakes to avoid when using IFSC MAHB0001146

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 Maharashtra – KORAMANGALA, 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: MAHB0001146.
• 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.
