Branch details at a glance

Berma branch overview

Located at DAG NO. 469, J.L. NO.73, KHATIAN NO.2114, VILLAGE BERMA, MOUZA BERMA, P.O. RANGADIH, P.S. BALARAMPUR, the Berma branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC ICIC0005206 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

Why every ICICI Bank Limited 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 BERMA of ICICI Bank Limited — its own 11-character IFSC. The code ICIC0005206 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 ICIC0005206 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 ICIC0005206

NEFT to ICICI Bank Limited, BERMA using IFSC ICIC0005206

To send funds, add the recipient as a beneficiary in your bank's online portal, key in the account number, paste the IFSC ICIC0005206, and confirm that the system picks up ICICI Bank Limited – BERMA. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC ICIC0005206

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.

IMPS to ICICI Bank Limited BERMA (IFSC ICIC0005206)

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

For most retail customers crediting the Berma 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 ICIC0005206

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 ICICI Bank Limited – BERMA is still mapped to IFSC ICIC0005206. 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 ICIC0005206 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by ICICI Bank Limited carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC ICIC0005206 and the account number together uniquely identify the Berma branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.
