The branch is located at NEAR ROADWAYS BUSSTAND OPPOSITE TO GURUDEWARA,PUSHKAR,AJMER. It serves the Pushkar 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.

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 PUSHKAR of Indian Overseas Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code IOBA0002542 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 IOBA0002542 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

3. Enter the beneficiary name, account number and the IFSC IOBA0002542.

5. Approve the beneficiary using OTP. Once activated, transfer any amount and the credit will reflect in the next NEFT cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC IOBA0002542

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 – PUSHKAR, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC IOBA0002542 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

Send money instantly through IMPS

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Pushkar

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 IOBA0002542:

• 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 PUSHKAR is still linked to IFSC IOBA0002542.

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 IOBA0002542

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 – PUSHKAR is still mapped to IFSC IOBA0002542. 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 IOBA0002542 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
