HDFC0005797 is the IFSC code of the Kavanadu branch of HDFC Bank in Kollam, Kerala. You need it, together with the account number, to send a local rupee transfer to an account held at this branch.
This code belongs to one specific branch — Kavanadu — and not to HDFC Bank as a whole. The first four letters, HDFC, identify the bank; the last six identify this branch alone. HDFC Bank runs 10 branches in Kollam, and each has a different code, so a transfer sent to the wrong one can bounce back. The branch is enabled for every transfer type the register tracks — NEFT, RTGS, IMPS and UPI. It also carries a SWIFT code, HDFCINBB, which means it handles international wires directly — most branches do not. Nationally HDFC Bank has 11,001 branches in the Reserve Bank of India's register.
