What is IFSC?

An 11-character code RBI gives every bank branch. You need it to send money by NEFT, RTGS or IMPS.

What is MICR?

A 9-digit code printed at the bottom of cheques. It identifies the bank and branch for cheque clearing.

Check before you pay

Always confirm the branch name matches what the receiver told you. A wrong IFSC can send money to the wrong branch.

What an IFSC code is and when you need it

The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) is an 11-character code that identifies one bank branch. You need it to send money by NEFT, RTGS or IMPS, to add a beneficiary in net banking, and to fill bank details in scholarship, salary, DBT and government scheme forms.

The first four letters are the bank, the fifth character is always 0, and the last six identify the branch. For example, in SBIN0001234, SBIN is State Bank of India.

How to use it

  1. Type the IFSC code to see the bank, full branch address, MICR and contact details.
  2. Or search by bank, state and city to find a branch when you do not know the code.
  3. Check which payment methods (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI) the branch supports.

Avoid failed transfers

Copy the IFSC from your cheque book, passbook or bank statement whenever possible. Branches that merged (for example after bank mergers) may have new codes.

The letter O and the number 0 are easy to confuse. The fifth character is always the number zero.

For DBT and scholarship payments, the account must also be linked with Aadhaar; a correct IFSC alone is not enough.
