Branch details at a glance

About Bank of Maharashtra

Bank of Maharashtra operates a wide network of branches across India, including the Bijnor branch in Bijnor. 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, MAHB0001726.

About this branch

The branch is located at KHANNA BUILDING, NAJIBABADSTATION CHAURAHA. It serves the Bijnor region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Bank of Maharashtra. The IFSC MAHB0001726 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

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 Maharashtra's BIJNOR branch came to be assigned the code MAHB0001726.

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 MAHB0001726, money simply cannot be routed to the BIJNOR branch electronically.

How to transfer money using IFSC MAHB0001726

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 MAHB0001726 across all three.

How to use IFSC MAHB0001726 for an NEFT transfer

NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is the most widely used method for sending money to Bank of Maharashtra's BIJNOR 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 MAHB0001726.
4. Confirm the bank name auto-populates as Bank of Maharashtra and the branch as BIJNOR.
5. Approve the beneficiary using OTP. Once activated, transfer any amount and the credit will reflect in the next NEFT cycle.

Real-Time Gross Settlement to BIJNOR

If you need to transfer ₹2 lakh or more in one go to an account at Bank of Maharashtra's BIJNOR branch, RTGS is the right channel. Each transaction is settled individually in real time. Use IFSC MAHB0001726 while initiating the transfer and the credit will appear within minutes.

IMPS to Bank of Maharashtra BIJNOR (IFSC MAHB0001726)

IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC MAHB0001726 in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the BIJNOR branch account within seconds.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Bijnor

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 MAHB0001726:

• 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 BIJNOR is still linked to IFSC MAHB0001726.

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 MAHB0001726

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 – BIJNOR is still mapped to IFSC MAHB0001726. 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 MAHB0001726 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.

Common mistakes to avoid when using IFSC MAHB0001726

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 – BIJNOR, 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: MAHB0001726.
• 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.
