About this branch

The branch is located at 1V/406 KOLLAM-KALLADA ROAD MULAVANA P O KOLLAM DIST. It serves the Chittumala region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Dhanalakshmi Bank. The IFSC DLXB0000104 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

Why every Dhanalakshmi Bank 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 CHITTUMALA of Dhanalakshmi Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code DLXB0000104 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 DLXB0000104 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

NEFT vs RTGS vs IMPS — which one should you use?

For most retail customers crediting the Chittumala branch, NEFT or IMPS will be the quickest and most economical option. RTGS comes in for one-off, high-value movements such as property purchases, vendor settlements or large gifts.

UPI payments and IFSC DLXB0000104

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 Dhanalakshmi Bank – CHITTUMALA is still mapped to IFSC DLXB0000104. 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 DLXB0000104 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
