What is IFSC code and why is it required for bank transfers?

IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) is an 11-character code that uniquely identifies a bank branch. It is required for electronic fund transfers like NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, and UPI to ensure the payment reaches the correct branch.

How can I find the IFSC code for a bank branch?

Use the IFSC search tool on this page to search by IFSC code, bank name, branch name, or combine bank and branch filters. You can also narrow results by state, city, district, or pincode.

How many IFSC branches are covered in this database?

Our IFSC database covers over 177,123 branches across 253 banks in India, spanning all 37 states and union territories.

What is the format of an IFSC code?

An IFSC code has 11 characters: the first 4 letters represent the bank, the 5th character is always 0, and the last 6 characters represent the branch code.

Can I verify NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS availability using IFSC?
