Online Transfer
Online Transfer: It is very simple to add your NRE & NRO account as a beneficiary from your existing NRE/NRO account in India or from a resident account of someone from who you need to receive money. You will need to provide your 11 digit IDFC FIRST Bank account number, your name & the IFSC code - IDFB0040101 (this code will work irrespective of the branch in which you hold an account - when you enter this IFSC code, you may not recognise the branch details that get populated, don't worry, this code will ensure funds are credited to the right account, as long as account number is written correctly). Once the beneficiary is added you can do an NEFT/ RTGS or IMPS depending on what the sending bank permits you. We allow all types of credits
