Branch details at a glance

Why every Union Bank of India 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 BANDRA EAST of Union Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code UBIN0563536 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 UBIN0563536 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

MICR & cheque-truncation details

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Bandra East

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 UBIN0563536:

• 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.

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.
