Kurtha branch overview

Located at VILL KURTHA PO FATWAH KURTHA FATWAH PIN 803201, the Kurtha branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC IDIB000K848 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

The role of IFSC in India's payments network

India's electronic payment infrastructure — NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI and the National Automated Clearing House (NACH) — is built on a single principle: every participating bank branch must be uniquely identifiable by an alphanumeric code. The Reserve Bank of India introduced the IFSC system to fulfil this requirement, and that is how Indian Bank's KURTHA branch came to be assigned the code IDIB000K848.

Whether you are receiving a salary on the first of the month, paying a vendor invoice, settling an EMI, or accepting a refund from an e-commerce platform, the IFSC is the silent piece of metadata that tells the network where your account lives. Without IFSC IDIB000K848, money simply cannot be routed to the KURTHA branch electronically.

How to transfer money using IFSC IDIB000K848

Online transfers in India are powered by three major channels — NEFT, RTGS and IMPS — and each one requires a destination IFSC. Below is a quick guide for using IFSC IDIB000K848 across all three.

NEFT to Indian Bank, KURTHA using IFSC IDIB000K848

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.

To send funds, add the recipient as a beneficiary in your bank's online portal, key in the account number, paste the IFSC IDIB000K848, and confirm that the system picks up Indian Bank – KURTHA. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC IDIB000K848

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 Indian Bank – KURTHA, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC IDIB000K848 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

Send money instantly through IMPS

For a real-time, anytime transfer to Indian Bank – KURTHA, use IMPS. With IFSC IDIB000K848 and the beneficiary's account number you can move up to ₹5 lakh per transaction with instant credit, any day of the year.

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

All three modes accept the IFSC IDIB000K848 for Indian Bank – KURTHA, but they differ in speed, minimum amount and use case. The table below summarises the differences so you can pick the right channel for the situation at hand.

For most retail customers crediting the Kurtha 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.

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. For accounts at Indian Bank's KURTHA branch, the IFSC IDIB000K848 is what the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) uses to route the credit when you tap Pay on a UPI app.

That is why, even in the UPI era, it is still worth knowing the IFSC of your home branch — for failed UPI mandates, e-mandate set-ups, third-party platform onboarding and salary or refund credits.
