The branch is located at KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK LTD, PALA TOWERS, GROUND AND FIRST FLOOR, CHAMRAJPETH CIRCLE, DAVANGERE - 577001. It serves the Davanagere region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited. The IFSC KKBK0008243 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

Why every Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited 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 DAVANGERE of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited — its own 11-character IFSC. The code KKBK0008243 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 KKBK0008243 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

UPI payments and IFSC KKBK0008243

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 Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited – DAVANGERE is still mapped to IFSC KKBK0008243. 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.
