Branch details at a glance

Why every Saraswat Cooperative 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 BHAYANDER ,WEST of Saraswat Cooperative Bank Limited — its own 11-character IFSC. The code SRCB0000142 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 SRCB0000142 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

MICR & cheque-truncation details

Cheques drawn on the Bhayander ,West branch are processed through the Cheque Truncation System (CTS). Each cheque carries a unique 9-digit MICR code that pairs with IFSC SRCB0000142 for clearing. If you receive a cheque from this branch, both codes will be visible on the cheque leaf.

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 SRCB0000142:
