About the Sirsi branch

The Sirsi branch of Union Bank of India is situated at BALAJI BUILDING, HOSPET CIRCLE, YELLAPUR ROAD, SIRSI 581402. Customers visiting this branch can complete cash deposits, withdrawals, demand draft requests, cheque clearing, passbook updates and KYC formalities.

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 SIRSI of Union Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code UBIN0901164 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 UBIN0901164 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code
