What is BSR code 0510803 and which branch does it identify?

BSR code 0510803 is the 7-digit numeric code assigned by the Reserve Bank of India to the Lal Bungalow Circle - Jamnagar branch of HDFC Bank in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The first three digits (051) identify the bank in the RBI's Basic Statistical Return database, and the last four digits (0803) identify this specific branch. No other branch in India shares this exact 7-digit combination. Use 0510803 when filing TDS challans (Challan 280, 281, 282), quoting the Challan Identification Number (CIN) in TDS returns, or referencing this branch in Form 16 and Form 26AS tax filings.

How do I use BSR code 0510803 to file a TDS challan?

To file a TDS challan using BSR code 0510803: (1) Deposit the TDS amount at the Lal Bungalow Circle - Jamnagar branch of HDFC Bank in Jamnagar — either in person or via net banking. (2) Collect the challan counterfoil issued by the bank. The counterfoil will show the BSR code 0510803, the date of deposit, and a 5-digit challan serial number. (3) Combine these three values to form the Challan Identification Number (CIN) — required in every TDS return (24Q, 26Q, 27Q, 27EQ) filed on the Income Tax e-Filing portal. Always enter all 7 digits — do not drop leading zeros.

What is the Challan Identification Number (CIN) using BSR 0510803?

The Challan Identification Number (CIN) for a TDS deposit at the Lal Bungalow Circle - Jamnagar branch of HDFC Bank is formed by combining: (1) BSR code 0510803 (7 digits), (2) date of deposit in DDMMYYYY format (8 digits), and (3) challan serial number from the counterfoil (5 digits) — making the CIN 20 characters total. This CIN is the unique reference used by the Income Tax Department to match every TDS payment against the corresponding TDS return. If any of the three components — especially the BSR code — is entered incorrectly, the CIN becomes invalid and the TDS credit will not appear in the deductee's Form 26AS.

How does BSR code 0510803 affect Form 16 and Form 26AS?

Form 16 (TDS certificate issued by employers to employees) is generated by TRACES (tdscpc.gov.in) using data from quarterly TDS returns (Form 24Q). The BSR code 0510803 of the branch where TDS was deposited must be correctly quoted in Form 24Q for TRACES to validate the challan and generate a correct Form 16 Part A. Form 26AS — the taxpayer's annual consolidated tax credit statement — also matches every TDS entry using the BSR code + deposit date + challan serial number combination. A wrong BSR code means the TDS credit never appears in Form 26AS, triggering demand notices even though the tax was actually paid.

Is BSR code 0510803 the same as the IFSC code for Lal Bungalow Circle - Jamnagar, HDFC Bank?

No — they are completely different codes for different systems. BSR code 0510803 is a 7-digit numeric code used exclusively for income tax and TDS-related filings — TDS challans, Form 16, Form 26AS, and TRACES returns. IFSC code HDFC0001251 is an 11-character alphanumeric code used exclusively for electronic fund transfers — NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, and UPI account linking. Never enter the BSR code in an IFSC field or vice versa — both systems will reject the wrong code type immediately. Find the IFSC code for this same branch here →

What happens if I enter the wrong BSR code 0510803 in a TDS return?

If you enter an incorrect BSR code in a TDS return, the CIN (Challan Identification Number) becomes invalid. The TIN (Tax Information Network) system cannot match the challan payment, so the TDS credit will not appear in the deductee's Form 26AS — even though the tax was actually paid at the correct branch. This triggers demand notices from the Income Tax Department and delays ITR processing for the deductee. You can correct a wrong BSR code through the TRACES portal (tdscpc.gov.in) by filing a challan correction request, subject to time limits and conditions. The bank can also assist with corrections at the branch level. Always verify BSR code 0510803 on BankZop before filing to avoid this.

About BSR Code 0510803 — Lal Bungalow Circle - Jamnagar, HDFC Bank

BSR code 0510803 is the official 7-digit numeric identifier assigned by the Reserve Bank of India to the Lal Bungalow Circle - Jamnagar branch of HDFC Bank in Jamnagar, Gujarat. This code is used exclusively within India's income tax and TDS compliance infrastructure — TDS challan filing, Form 16 generation, and Form 26AS tax credit matching. BSR codes are not used for electronic fund transfers (those use the IFSC code) or cheque clearing (which uses the MICR code). Without the correct BSR code, TDS challans cannot be matched in the TIN system and Form 26AS will not reflect the credit.

How to Read BSR Code 0510803

The 7-digit code 0510803 is structured in two segments the RBI uses in the Basic Statistical Return system: 051 is the bank identifier — a three-digit numeric code that identifies HDFC Bank across the entire RBI tax payment network. All HDFC Bank branches share this same 3-digit prefix. 0803 is the branch identifier — four digits assigned exclusively to the Lal Bungalow Circle - Jamnagar branch. No other branch in India carries this exact 7-digit combination, which ensures TDS credits are matched to the exact branch where the deposit was made.

When to Use BSR Code 0510803 for TDS and Income Tax

TDS Challan Deposits (Challan 280, 281, 282)

When TDS, advance tax, or self-assessment tax is deposited at the Lal Bungalow Circle - Jamnagar branch, the branch issues a challan counterfoil with BSR code 0510803, the date of deposit, and a 5-digit serial number. These three values form the Challan Identification Number (CIN) — a 20-character unique reference that is mandatory in every TDS return filed on the Income Tax e-Filing portal. Always enter all 7 digits of BSR code 0510803 — never drop leading zeros.

Form 24Q — Quarterly TDS Return for Salary

Employers depositing TDS deducted from employee salaries at this branch must quote BSR code 0510803 in their quarterly Form 24Q returns. TRACES (tdscpc.gov.in) uses this BSR code to validate the challan and generate Form 16 Part A — the TDS certificate issued to employees. An incorrect BSR code in Form 24Q produces an unverifiable Form 16, creating compliance issues for both employer and employee during ITR filing.

Form 26Q and Form 27Q — TDS on Non-Salary Payments

TDS deducted on professional fees, rent, contractor payments, and NRI remittances deposited at the Lal Bungalow Circle - Jamnagar branch must also reference BSR code 0510803 in Form 26Q (resident deductees) and Form 27Q (non-resident deductees). The deductee's Form 26AS will only reflect the TDS credit if the BSR code in the return exactly matches the one on the challan counterfoil.

Form 26AS — Annual Tax Credit Statement

Form 26AS is the taxpayer's consolidated annual statement showing all TDS credits, advance tax payments, and self-assessment tax deposits. The Income Tax Department populates Form 26AS by matching challan data using BSR code + deposit date + serial number. Any mismatch — including a wrong BSR code — causes the TDS entry to remain permanently unmatched, preventing the credit from appearing in Form 26AS and potentially triggering demand notices.

BSR Code 0510803 vs IFSC vs MICR — Three Different Systems

The Lal Bungalow Circle - Jamnagar branch of HDFC Bank in Jamnagar is assigned three distinct RBI codes — each serving a completely separate banking system. These codes cannot be interchanged.

BSR 0510803 — The code on this page. 7 digits, numeric only. Used exclusively for TDS challan filing (Challan 280, 281, 282), Form 16, Form 26AS, and TRACES TDS returns. Enter this code when any income tax or TDS form asks for the bank branch code.
IFSC HDFC0001251 — 11-character alphanumeric code. Used for NEFT (half-hourly batches), RTGS (real-time, ₹2 lakh minimum), IMPS (instant 24×7), and UPI account linking. View the IFSC code for this branch →
MICR 361240004 — 9 digits, numeric only. Used for cheque clearing (CTS), ECS auto-debit mandates, NACH forms for SIP mutual fund registration, and loan EMI auto-debit setup. View the MICR code for this branch →

Step-by-Step: How BSR Code 0510803 Routes a TDS Challan

Deposit: The deductor deposits the TDS amount at the Lal Bungalow Circle - Jamnagar branch of HDFC Bank in Jamnagar — physically at the branch counter or via net banking.
Challan issued: The bank credits the government account and issues a counterfoil bearing BSR code 0510803, the deposit date, and a unique 5-digit serial number.
CIN formed: The deductor combines these three values to form the Challan Identification Number (CIN): 0510803 + DDMMYYYY + 5-digit serial = 20-character CIN.
TDS return filed: The CIN is quoted in the quarterly TDS return (24Q, 26Q, 27Q, or 27EQ) filed on the Income Tax e-Filing portal.
Matching: The Income Tax Department's TIN system validates the CIN against the challan data uploaded by HDFC Bank. If the BSR code matches, the TDS credit appears in the deductee's Form 26AS. If not, it remains unmatched.

Common Mistakes When Using BSR Code 0510803

Dropping leading zeros: Always enter all 7 digits. If the BSR code starts with zeros (e.g., 0020299), entering just 20299 will cause validation failure on the Income Tax portal.
Using BSR instead of IFSC: A field labelled "IFSC Code" expects 11 alphanumeric characters starting with 4 letters. BSR code 0510803 (7 digits) will be rejected immediately.
Using a different branch's BSR code: The BSR code must match the exact branch where the TDS deposit was made. Using the BSR code of another HDFC Bank branch — even one nearby in Jamnagar — will produce an invalid CIN.
Wrong deposit date in CIN: The date in the CIN must match the date on the challan counterfoil — not the date the return is filed. Mismatches invalidate the CIN even if the BSR code is correct.
