Bank profile

About this branch

The branch is located at VIJAY CHAMBERS 1ST FLOOR TRIBHUVAN ROAD OPP DREAMLAND CINEMA GRANT ROAD EAST PIN 400004. It serves the Mumbai 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 IDIB000P049 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 PRARTHANA SAMAJ of Indian Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code IDIB000P049 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 IDIB000P049 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 IDIB000P049

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 IDIB000P049 across all three.

NEFT to Indian Bank, PRARTHANA SAMAJ using IFSC IDIB000P049

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 IDIB000P049, and confirm that the system picks up Indian Bank – PRARTHANA SAMAJ. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

Real-Time Gross Settlement to PRARTHANA SAMAJ

If you need to transfer ₹2 lakh or more in one go to an account at Indian Bank's PRARTHANA SAMAJ branch, RTGS is the right channel. Each transaction is settled individually in real time. Use IFSC IDIB000P049 while initiating the transfer and the credit will appear within minutes.

For a real-time, anytime transfer to Indian Bank – PRARTHANA SAMAJ, use IMPS. With IFSC IDIB000P049 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 Prarthana Samaj

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 IDIB000P049:

• 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 PRARTHANA SAMAJ is still linked to IFSC IDIB000P049.

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.

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 PRARTHANA SAMAJ branch, the IFSC IDIB000P049 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.
