About the bank

Indian Bank serves retail and corporate customers with a full range of deposit, lending, payments and digital banking products. Its Chickpet branch in Chickpet, Karnataka is part of this network and uses the IFSC code IDIB000C163 for all electronic settlement.

About this branch

The branch is located at 349 GROUND FLOOR KOMARLA TOWERS CHICKPET PIN 560053. It serves the Chickpet region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Indian Bank. The IFSC IDIB000C163 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

Why every Indian 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 CHICKPET of Indian Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code IDIB000C163 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 IDIB000C163 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

UPI lets you pay using a short Virtual Payment Address instead of typing the IFSC every time, but behind the scenes every UPI mandate is mapped to an account number plus an IFSC.

Common mistakes to avoid when using IFSC IDIB000C163

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 Indian Bank – CHICKPET, 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: IDIB000C163.
• 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.
