About the bank

Indian Overseas Bank serves retail and corporate customers with a full range of deposit, lending, payments and digital banking products. Its Sarsuna branch in Kolkata, West Bengal is part of this network and uses the IFSC code IOBA0002810 for all electronic settlement.

About this branch

The branch is located at 1BY10,BANERJEE PARA ROAD,SARSUNA,KOLKATA 700061. It serves the Kolkata 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 Overseas Bank. The IFSC IOBA0002810 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

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 SARSUNA of Indian Overseas Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code IOBA0002810 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 IOBA0002810 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 IOBA0002810

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 IOBA0002810 across all three.

NEFT to Indian Overseas Bank, SARSUNA using IFSC IOBA0002810

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 IOBA0002810, and confirm that the system picks up Indian Overseas Bank – SARSUNA. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC IOBA0002810

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 Overseas Bank – SARSUNA, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC IOBA0002810 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

Send money instantly through IMPS

For a real-time, anytime transfer to Indian Overseas Bank – SARSUNA, use IMPS. With IFSC IOBA0002810 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 IOBA0002810 for Indian Overseas Bank – SARSUNA, 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 Sarsuna 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.

UPI payments and IFSC IOBA0002810

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 – SARSUNA is still mapped to IFSC IOBA0002810. 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 IOBA0002810 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
