About Bank of Maharashtra DHAMADHA Branch — IFSC Code MAHB0001658
Let me give you the actual useful details here, not just the code. Bank of Maharashtra's DHAMADHA branch is in DURG, DURG district, CHHATTISGARH. The IFSC code is MAHB0001658 — verified against RBI records. You'll need this exact code any time you want to receive a bank transfer to an account held at this branch.
Quick breakdown of what this IFSC code tells you: MAHB = Bank of Maharashtra (that's how every Bank of Maharashtra branch code starts), the 0 in the middle is RBI's reserved placeholder (it's always zero, no exceptions), and 001658 = the unique identifier for this specific DHAMADHA branch. Every branch in India has its own tail code.
MICR Code for Bank of Maharashtra DHAMADHA
The MICR code here is 491014199. This is a 9-digit code — entirely separate from the IFSC — used for cheque processing. If you're filling out a form that asks for both IFSC and MICR, those are two different fields requiring two different codes.
How to read MICR code 491014199: digits 1–3 (491) = city code, digits 4–6 (014) = bank code, digits 7–9 (199) = branch code. Cheque-clearing machines at banks use magnetic ink technology to read this — it's been the standard since the 1980s and is still actively used.
How to Use IFSC Code MAHB0001658 for Money Transfers
There are three main ways to send money using this IFSC code — NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS. They're not interchangeable, and picking the wrong one can mean delays or unnecessary fees.
NEFT Transfer (Best for most routine transfers)
NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) works in 30-minute settlement batches, runs 24×7 including holidays, and there's no minimum or maximum transfer limit. Banks cannot charge fees for NEFT transfers — RBI eliminated those fees in January 2020. I use NEFT for practically everything: paying suppliers, rent, EMI mandates. Enter IFSC MAHB0001658 as the branch code when setting up a beneficiary.
RTGS Transfer (For ₹2 lakh and above)
RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) is the one where funds actually move in real-time — not batched. Minimum amount is ₹2,00,000 and there's no upper cap. Banks typically charge ₹20–₹50. If you're doing a property transaction, business payment, or any large transfer, RTGS with IFSC MAHB0001658 is the right choice. Settlement is essentially immediate.
IMPS Transfer (For urgent transfers of any size, 24×7)
IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) is instant, works on bank holidays and at 2am, and the limit is ₹5 lakh per transaction. Small charges apply (usually ₹5–₹25). Honestly if something is genuinely urgent, IMPS with IFSC MAHB0001658 is the fastest route. Money reaches the recipient's account in under a minute in most cases.
| Transfer Type | Speed | Min Amount | Max Amount | Available |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NEFT | ~30 min batches | No minimum | No limit | 24×7, 365 days |
| RTGS | Real-time | ₹2,00,000 | No limit | 24×7, 365 days |
| IMPS | Instant (seconds) | No minimum | ₹5,00,000 | 24×7, 365 days |
