Branch details at a glance

About this branch

The branch is located at KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK LTD.BASEMENT, GROUND AND FIRST FLOOR, SCF - 13, PHASE 3B2, SAS NAGAR, MOHALI - 160 059. It serves the Sas Nagar Mohali 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 KKBK0000254 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 MOHALI of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited — its own 11-character IFSC. The code KKBK0000254 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 KKBK0000254 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

For most retail customers crediting the Mohali 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.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code

UPI lets you pay using a short Virtual Payment Address instead of typing the IFSC every time, but behind the scenes every UPI mandate is mapped to an account number plus an IFSC. For accounts at Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited's MOHALI branch, the IFSC KKBK0000254 is what the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) uses to route the credit when you tap Pay on a UPI app.

That is why, even in the UPI era, it is still worth knowing the IFSC of your home branch — for failed UPI mandates, e-mandate set-ups, third-party platform onboarding and salary or refund credits.
