Branch details at a glance

About this branch

The branch is located at SHRI D.R. PATIL BLDG., GAVASE, TEH. AJRA, 416505. It serves the Gavase 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 MAHB0001066 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

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 GAVASE of Bank of Maharashtra — its own 11-character IFSC. The code MAHB0001066 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 MAHB0001066 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 MAHB0001066

NEFT to Bank of Maharashtra, GAVASE using IFSC MAHB0001066

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 MAHB0001066, and confirm that the system picks up Bank of Maharashtra – GAVASE. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC MAHB0001066

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 – GAVASE, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC MAHB0001066 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

IMPS to Bank of Maharashtra GAVASE (IFSC MAHB0001066)

IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC MAHB0001066 in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the GAVASE branch account within seconds.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Gavase

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 MAHB0001066:

• 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 GAVASE is still linked to IFSC MAHB0001066.

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.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code

UPI lets you pay using a short Virtual Payment Address instead of typing the IFSC every time, but behind the scenes every UPI mandate is mapped to an account number plus an IFSC. For accounts at Bank of Maharashtra's GAVASE branch, the IFSC MAHB0001066 is what the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) uses to route the credit when you tap Pay on a UPI app.

That is why, even in the UPI era, it is still worth knowing the IFSC of your home branch — for failed UPI mandates, e-mandate set-ups, third-party platform onboarding and salary or refund credits.

Bank of Maharashtra customers can register for net banking and the bank's official mobile app once their account at the GAVASE branch is active. Net banking lets you view balances, download statements, open fixed deposits, request cheque books and initiate NEFT/RTGS/IMPS transfers — all without setting foot in the branch. The IFSC MAHB0001066 is pre-filled by the bank for transfers originating from your own account, and you only need to enter it manually when adding an external beneficiary or sharing your account details with a third party.

MICR & cheque-truncation details

Cheques drawn on the Gavase branch are processed through the Cheque Truncation System (CTS). Each cheque carries a unique 9-digit MICR code that pairs with IFSC MAHB0001066 for clearing. If you receive a cheque from this branch, both codes will be visible on the cheque leaf.

Common mistakes to avoid when using IFSC MAHB0001066

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 – GAVASE, 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: MAHB0001066.
• 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.
