Common mistakes to avoid when using IFSC UTKS0001560

An incorrect IFSC almost always results in a failed transfer or, worse, a credit to the wrong branch. Before you click Confirm on a transfer to Utkarsh Small Finance Bank – SEC D,CHANDIGARH, double-check for these issues:

• Confusing 0 with O. The fifth character of every IFSC is the digit 0, not the letter O. Read carefully.
• Spaces or hyphens. Do not put spaces in the IFSC. It is exactly 11 characters: UTKS0001560.
• Wrong branch. A bank can have dozens of branches in the same city. Make sure you are using the IFSC for the actual branch where the beneficiary holds the account, not just any nearby branch.
• Old IFSC after a merger. If two banks have merged, the IFSC may have been reissued. Always verify with a recent passbook or cheque leaf.
• Copy-paste from chat. Auto-correct on phones can silently change letters in IFSC codes. Type carefully or copy from a trusted source like the cheque book.
