Branch details at a glance

About Indian Overseas Bank

Indian Overseas Bank operates a wide network of branches across India, including the Ogb -Palaspanga branch in Palaspanga. Each branch is enabled for NEFT, RTGS, IMPS and core banking, allowing customers to send and receive money anywhere in the country using a unique IFSC – in this case, IOBA0GB2013.

About this branch

The branch is located at AT/PO-PALASPANGAVIA-JHUMPURA,DIST-KEONJHARPIN-758031,. It serves the Palaspanga 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 IOBA0GB2013 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 OGB -PALASPANGA of Indian Overseas Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code IOBA0GB2013 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 IOBA0GB2013 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 IOBA0GB2013

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 IOBA0GB2013 across all three.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Ogb -Palaspanga

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 IOBA0GB2013:

• 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 OGB -PALASPANGA is still linked to IFSC IOBA0GB2013.

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 IOBA0GB2013

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 – OGB -PALASPANGA is still mapped to IFSC IOBA0GB2013. 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 IOBA0GB2013 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.

Common mistakes to avoid when using IFSC IOBA0GB2013

An incorrect IFSC almost always results in a failed transfer or, worse, a credit to the wrong branch. Before you click Confirm on a transfer to Indian Overseas Bank – OGB -PALASPANGA, double-check for these issues:

• Confusing 0 with O. The fifth character of every IFSC is the digit 0, not the letter O. Read carefully.
• Spaces or hyphens. Do not put spaces in the IFSC. It is exactly 11 characters: IOBA0GB2013.
• Wrong branch. A bank can have dozens of branches in the same city. Make sure you are using the IFSC for the actual branch where the beneficiary holds the account, not just any nearby branch.
• Old IFSC after a merger. If two banks have merged, the IFSC may have been reissued. Always verify with a recent passbook or cheque leaf.
• Copy-paste from chat. Auto-correct on phones can silently change letters in IFSC codes. Type carefully or copy from a trusted source like the cheque book.
