Branch details at a glance

Kancheepuram branch overview

Located at 547 B GROUND FLOOR GANDHI ROAD KANCHEEPURAM 631501, the Kancheepuram branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC KKBK0008773 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

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 KANCHEEPURAM of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited — its own 11-character IFSC. The code KKBK0008773 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 KKBK0008773 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.
