What is an IFSC code?

An 11-character code used to identify a bank branch for NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS transactions. Format: SBIN0001234 — first 4 = bank code, 5th = 0, last 6 = branch code.

About IFSC Code Finder

An incorrect IFSC code in a bank transfer instruction causes either an outright rejection or — in rare cases — a credit to the wrong account that is difficult to recover. For payroll, vendor payments, and NEFT/RTGS setup, verifying the correct branch IFSC before initiating a transaction saves significant reconciliation effort. This tool lets you look up any Indian bank branch by IFSC code or search by bank name and city.

How It Works

The IFSC code database covers all RBI-registered bank branches participating in NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS. Each entry includes the full branch address, MICR code, bank name, city, and payment network support flags. When you enter a known IFSC, it decodes the bank identifier (first 4 characters), the zero placeholder at position 5, and the branch code (last 6 characters) to fetch the matching record.

For the reverse lookup — finding IFSC by bank and city — the tool searches the database and returns all matching branches with their codes so you can select the specific branch. MICR codes are included for cheque-related processes, while the payment method support flags tell you whether a branch supports IMPS (real-time 24/7 transfers), NEFT (batch-mode transfers), and RTGS (high-value transfers).

All data is served from a preloaded dataset — no external API calls are needed, ensuring results are available offline and instantly.

Who Is This For

A payroll officer adding a new employee's bank details and verifying the IFSC code from their cancelled cheque before processing the first salary.

A startup founder setting up vendor payment mandates and confirming the IFSC for each supplier's bank branch.

A home loan borrower who needs to provide their bank's IFSC code for ECS mandate registration and does not have the cheque book handy.

A finance team reconciling a failed NEFT transfer by looking up whether the intended branch actually supports NEFT.

Scope note: IFSC database reflects branches registered with RBI for electronic transfers as of the last update. Newly opened branches, merged bank branches (post-bank mergers), or closed branches may not be reflected immediately. Always confirm the IFSC with your bank's customer service for high-value or time-sensitive transfers. IFSC codes for cooperative banks and payment banks may have limited availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) is an 11-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a bank branch participating in NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS transactions.

Your IFSC code is printed on your cheque book, passbook, and bank statement. It is also shown in your net banking portal and on your debit card in some banks.

MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) is a 9-digit code printed on cheques for clearing purposes. It encodes city (3 digits), bank (3 digits), and branch (3 digits). IFSC is used for electronic transfers (NEFT/RTGS/IMPS), while MICR is used for cheque clearing through the Cheque Truncation System (CTS).

Most active bank branches participating in RBI's electronic clearing system have IFSC codes. However, some very small or newly opened branches, and certain cooperative bank branches, may not yet be on the NEFT/RTGS network. The tool shows the NEFT/RTGS/IMPS support status for each branch.

Yes, the same 11-character IFSC code is used for NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS transfers. The routing mechanism differentiates between transfer types internally. The difference is in transaction limits and timing: RTGS is for Rs 2 lakh and above, NEFT has no minimum, and IMPS works 24/7 without batch cycles.
