IMPS response code

IMPS error 92: No routing for institution or network

Bank descriptionNo routing for institution/network FAILED

Source: Axis Bank, IMPS Response Codes for H2H/API. These are IMPS response codes as one bank publishes them; other banks use the same codes but may word them differently.

What it means

The network couldn't route the transfer to the receiver's bank: there's no route for that institution.

Was money deducted?

No. This decline happens before your account is debited.

When does the money come back?

Nothing to refund in the normal case. If a debit does show on your statement, the bank must reverse it by the next working day (T+1).

Which side caused it?

Network routing (NPCI or the sponsor bank).

Bank guidance on retrying

Reinitiate with same CRN

If money left your account. Under RBI's turnaround-time rules (circular DPSS.CO.PD No.629/02.01.014/2019-20, 20 September 2019), if your account is debited but the receiver isn't credited on an IMPS transfer, the receiver's bank has until the next working day (T+1) to credit it or send the money back. After that the bank owes you ₹100 for every day of delay.

What you should do

Check the IFSC. The receiver's bank may not be live on IMPS; try NEFT instead.

If you run payouts or a bank integration

Check the beneficiary bank's IMPS live status and your IFSC mapping.

IMPS in brief

IMPS moves money between banks instantly, at any hour, on any day. Transfers go either by account number and IFSC, or by mobile number and MMID. The network limit is ₹5 lakh per transaction, though your bank can set a lower one, which is why codes like 04 and 22 exist.

Checking what happened

Open the transaction in your bank app or net banking and note its RRN, the 12-digit reference number also sent by SMS. The receiver's bank can trace the transfer with it, and you'll need it for any complaint. If the status says pending or deemed approved, wait for the final status before sending the money again.

If it still isn't sorted

  1. Raise a complaint inside your banking app. Quote the RRN from your statement or SMS.
  2. If the app doesn't resolve it, contact your bank's grievance desk with the same reference.
  3. If your bank hasn't replied within 30 days, or you're not happy with the reply, complain to the RBI Ombudsman at cms.rbi.org.in. It's free.
