About this branch

The branch is located at PNB BHIKAJI CAMA PLACE.

The IFSC PUNB0517100 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

Why every Punjab National 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 HO CREDIT CARD DIVISION of Punjab National Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code PUNB0517100 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 PUNB0517100 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to HO Credit Card Division

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 PUNB0517100:

• 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.

• UPI — best for small peer-to-peer payments using a VPA; the underlying account at HO CREDIT CARD DIVISION is still linked to IFSC PUNB0517100.

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 PUNB0517100

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India.

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.
