Branch details at a glance

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 Overseas Bank's GORAKHNATH GORAKHPUR branch came to be assigned the code IOBA0003995.

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 IOBA0003995, money simply cannot be routed to the GORAKHNATH GORAKHPUR branch electronically.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Indian Overseas Bank carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC IOBA0003995 and the account number together uniquely identify the Gorakhnath Gorakhpur branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Gorakhnath Gorakhpur

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 IOBA0003995:

• 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 GORAKHNATH GORAKHPUR is still linked to IFSC IOBA0003995.

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.
