The role of IFSC in India's payments network

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

UPI payments and IFSC HDFC0002398

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 – SANATH NAGAR is still mapped to IFSC HDFC0002398.

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.
