Branch details at a glance

Uthangudi Branch branch overview

Located at SY NO 223 12 223 17 UTHANGUDI TEHSIL MADURAI NORTH DISTRICT MADURAI TAMILNADU 623107, the Uthangudi Branch branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable.

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 UTHANGUDI BRANCH of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited — its own 11-character IFSC. The code KKBK0008720 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 KKBK0008720 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.
