About the bank

Federal Bank serves retail and corporate customers with a full range of deposit, lending, payments and digital banking products. Its Kallettumkara branch in Thrissur, Kerala is part of this network and uses the IFSC code FDRL0001017 for all electronic settlement.

About this branch

The branch is located at KALLETTUMKARA KALLETTUMKARA KALLETTUMKARA. It serves the Thrissur region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Federal Bank. The IFSC FDRL0001017 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

Why every Federal 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 KALLETTUMKARA of Federal Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code FDRL0001017 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 FDRL0001017 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code
