About HDFC Bank
HDFC Bank operates a wide network of branches across India, including the Korattur branch in Chennai. 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, HDFC0002387.
About the Korattur branch
The Korattur branch of HDFC Bank is situated at L253, NEW NO.36, TNHB COLONY, 2ND STREET, KORATTUR, CHENNAI TAMIL NADU 600080. Customers visiting this branch can complete cash deposits, withdrawals, demand draft requests, cheque clearing, passbook updates and KYC formalities. For online transactions to or from this branch, the IFSC code HDFC0002387 is used.
Why every HDFC 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 KORATTUR of HDFC Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code HDFC0002387 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 HDFC0002387 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 HDFC0002387
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 HDFC0002387 across all three.
NEFT to HDFC Bank, KORATTUR using IFSC HDFC0002387
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 HDFC0002387, and confirm that the system picks up HDFC Bank – KORATTUR. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.
RTGS transfers via IFSC HDFC0002387
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 HDFC Bank – KORATTUR, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC HDFC0002387 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.
Send money instantly through IMPS
For a real-time, anytime transfer to HDFC Bank – KORATTUR, use IMPS. With IFSC HDFC0002387 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 Korattur
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 HDFC0002387:
- 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 KORATTUR is still linked to IFSC HDFC0002387.
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 HDFC0002387
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 HDFC Bank – KORATTUR is still mapped to IFSC HDFC0002387. 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 HDFC0002387 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
