About Union Bank of India SAMRALA Branch — IFSC Code UBIN0566870
Let me give you the actual useful details here, not just the code. Union Bank of India's SAMRALA branch is in LUDHIANA, SAMRALA district, PUNJAB. The IFSC code is UBIN0566870 — 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: UBIN = Union Bank of India (that's how every Union Bank of India branch code starts), the 0 in the middle is RBI's reserved placeholder (it's always zero, no exceptions), and 566870 = the unique identifier for this specific SAMRALA branch. Every branch in India has its own tail code.
MICR Code for Union Bank of India SAMRALA
The MICR code here is 141026251. 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 141026251: digits 1–3 (141) = city code, digits 4–6 (026) = bank code, digits 7–9 (251) = 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.
📌 Branch PIN code: 141114. If you're filling in a beneficiary form and they ask for the PIN code of the bank branch (not your home PIN), this is it.
How to Use IFSC Code UBIN0566870 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 UBIN0566870 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 UBIN0566870 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 UBIN0566870 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 |
