Branch details at a glance

Katrasgarh branch overview

Located at SWASTIK COMPLEX NADI KINARE KATRASGARH KATRASGARH PIN 828113, the Katrasgarh branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC IDIB000K636 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

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 KATRASGARH of Indian Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code IDIB000K636 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 IDIB000K636 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Katrasgarh

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 IDIB000K636:

• 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.

• UPI — best for small peer-to-peer payments using a VPA; the underlying account at KATRASGARH is still linked to IFSC IDIB000K636.

UPI payments and IFSC IDIB000K636
