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 KEKRI branch came to be assigned the code MAHB0002797.
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 MAHB0002797, money simply cannot be routed to the KEKRI branch electronically.
MICR code & cheque clearing
Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Bank of Maharashtra carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC MAHB0002797 and the account number together uniquely identify the Kekri branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.
How to transfer money using IFSC MAHB0002797
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 MAHB0002797 across all three.
How to use IFSC MAHB0002797 for an NEFT transfer
NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is the most widely used method for sending money to Bank of Maharashtra's KEKRI 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 MAHB0002797.
- Confirm the bank name auto-populates as Bank of Maharashtra and the branch as KEKRI.
- Approve the beneficiary using OTP. Once activated, transfer any amount and the credit will reflect in the next NEFT cycle.
RTGS transfers via IFSC MAHB0002797
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 – KEKRI, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC MAHB0002797 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.
Send money instantly through IMPS
For a real-time, anytime transfer to Bank of Maharashtra – KEKRI, use IMPS. With IFSC MAHB0002797 and the beneficiary's account number you can move up to ₹5 lakh per transaction with instant credit, any day of the year.
Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Kekri
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 MAHB0002797:
- 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 KEKRI is still linked to IFSC MAHB0002797.
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 KEKRI branch, the IFSC MAHB0002797 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.
