Understanding the Merger and Its Impact on IFSC Codes

On April 1, 2020, Union Bank of India (UBI) merged with Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank. As a result of this consolidation, the IFSC codes of Andhra Bank underwent a significant change. The merger aimed to strengthen the banking sector in India by creating larger, more robust banks.

Changes in IFSC Codes Post-Merger

Following the merger, the IFSC codes of Andhra Bank were updated to reflect the new banking structure. The old IFSC codes, which were previously used for transactions, are now considered inactive. Using these outdated codes can lead to transaction failures, causing inconvenience to customers.

Why Old IFSC Codes are Inactive

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the banking authorities have made it mandatory to use the new IFSC codes for all transactions. The old codes are no longer valid, and any attempt to use them will result in failed transactions. It is essential for customers to update their records with the new IFSC codes to avoid any disruptions.
