Branch details at a glance

Pakala branch overview

Located at GRD FLOOR S NO 1250 EXISTING D NO 60 27 D N MAIN ROAD PAKALA PAKALA ANDHRA PRADESH 517112, the Pakala branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC HDFC0008467 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

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 PAKALA of HDFC Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code HDFC0008467 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 HDFC0008467 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 HDFC0008467

NEFT to HDFC Bank, PAKALA using IFSC HDFC0008467

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.

Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC HDFC0008467

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 – PAKALA, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC HDFC0008467 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

Send money instantly through IMPS

For a real-time, anytime transfer to HDFC Bank – PAKALA, use IMPS. With IFSC HDFC0008467 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 Pakala

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 HDFC0008467:

• 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 PAKALA is still linked to IFSC HDFC0008467.

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 HDFC0008467

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 – PAKALA is still mapped to IFSC HDFC0008467. 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 HDFC0008467 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.

Online banking and IFSC HDFC0008467

HDFC Bank customers can register for net banking and the bank's official mobile app once their account at the PAKALA branch is active.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by HDFC Bank carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC HDFC0008467 and the account number together uniquely identify the Pakala branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.

Common mistakes to avoid when using IFSC HDFC0008467

An incorrect IFSC almost always results in a failed transfer or, worse, a credit to the wrong branch. Before you click Confirm on a transfer to HDFC Bank – PAKALA, double-check for these issues:

• Confusing 0 with O. The fifth character of every IFSC is the digit 0, not the letter O. Read carefully.
• Spaces or hyphens. Do not put spaces in the IFSC. It is exactly 11 characters: HDFC0008467.
• Wrong branch. A bank can have dozens of branches in the same city. Make sure you are using the IFSC for the actual branch where the beneficiary holds the account, not just any nearby branch.
• Old IFSC after a merger. If two banks have merged, the IFSC may have been reissued. Always verify with a recent passbook or cheque leaf.
• Copy-paste from chat. Auto-correct on phones can silently change letters in IFSC codes. Type carefully or copy from a trusted source like the cheque book.
