About the bank

Indian Overseas Bank serves retail and corporate customers with a full range of deposit, lending, payments and digital banking products. Its Kamareddy branch in Kamareddy, Andhra Pradesh is part of this network and uses the IFSC code IOBA0000396 for all electronic settlement.

Kamareddy branch overview

Located at 5-3-688, VIDYA NAGAR COLONY, NATIONAL HIGHWAY-7, KAMAREDDY - 503111, the Kamareddy branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC IOBA0000396 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

Why every Indian Overseas 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 KAMAREDDY of Indian Overseas Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code IOBA0000396 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 IOBA0000396 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 IOBA0000396

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 IOBA0000396 across all three.

3. Enter the beneficiary name, account number and the IFSC IOBA0000396.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Kamareddy

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 IOBA0000396:

• 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 KAMAREDDY is still linked to IFSC IOBA0000396.

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.

UPI payments and IFSC IOBA0000396

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India. While most UPI transactions are addressed using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) like name@bank, the underlying account at Indian Overseas Bank – KAMAREDDY is still mapped to IFSC IOBA0000396. When a customer links a savings or current account to a UPI app for the first time, the app silently looks up this IFSC against the account number to verify the account exists. The VPA acts as a friendly alias on top of the same plumbing.

If a UPI transfer to or from this branch fails, the most common reasons are an inactive UPI handle, a daily limit breach or a temporary outage at one of the participating banks — not the IFSC. You can always fall back to NEFT or IMPS using the IFSC IOBA0000396 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
