The role of IFSC in India's payments network
India's electronic payment infrastructure — NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI and the National Automated Clearing House (NACH) — is built on a single principle: every participating bank branch must be uniquely identifiable by an alphanumeric code. The Reserve Bank of India introduced the IFSC system to fulfil this requirement, and that is how UCO Bank's CHIKHLI branch came to be assigned the code UCBA0003367.
Whether you are receiving a salary on the first of the month, paying a vendor invoice, settling an EMI, or accepting a refund from an e-commerce platform, the IFSC is the silent piece of metadata that tells the network where your account lives. Without IFSC UCBA0003367, money simply cannot be routed to the CHIKHLI branch electronically.
MICR & cheque-truncation details

How to transfer money using IFSC UCBA0003367
Online transfers in India are powered by three major channels — NEFT, RTGS and IMPS — and each one requires a destination IFSC. Below is a quick guide for using IFSC UCBA0003367 across all three.
How to use IFSC UCBA0003367 for an NEFT transfer
NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is the most widely used method for sending money to UCO Bank's CHIKHLI branch. NEFT now settles on a 24x7 basis in half-hourly batches and has no upper limit for retail customers (individual banks may impose their own caps).
- Log in to your internet banking or mobile banking app.
- Choose Add Beneficiary and select NEFT / Other Bank.
- Enter the beneficiary name, account number and the IFSC UCBA0003367.
- Confirm the bank name auto-populates as UCO Bank and the branch as CHIKHLI.
- Approve the beneficiary using OTP. Once activated, transfer any amount and the credit will reflect in the next NEFT cycle.
RTGS transfers via IFSC UCBA0003367
RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) is the fastest high-value transfer mechanism in India. It is meant for transfers of ₹2 lakh and above and settles each transaction individually and instantly. To remit through RTGS to UCO Bank – CHIKHLI, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC UCBA0003367 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.
IMPS to UCO Bank CHIKHLI (IFSC UCBA0003367)
IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC UCBA0003367 in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the CHIKHLI branch account within seconds.
Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Chikhli
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 UCBA0003367:
- 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.
- IMPS — best when speed matters more than batch scheduling; instant credit up to ₹5 lakh.
- UPI — best for small peer-to-peer payments using a VPA; the underlying account at CHIKHLI is still linked to IFSC UCBA0003367.
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 UCBA0003367
UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India. While most UPI transactions are addressed using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) like name@bank, the underlying account at UCO Bank – CHIKHLI is still mapped to IFSC UCBA0003367. 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. You can always fall back to NEFT or IMPS using the IFSC UCBA0003367 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
