IFSC code finder
Look up an Indian bank branch by its IFSC code. The result shows the bank name, branch, address, city, state, MICR, and whether NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS are enabled.
What is an IFSC code?
IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code. The Reserve Bank of India assigns this 11-character code to every bank branch that can receive electronic transfers. Banks use it to route NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS payments to the correct branch.
Example: SBIN0000300
The first four letters identify the bank. The fifth character is always 0. The last six characters identify the branch. A savings account and a current account at the same branch share the same IFSC.
What an IFSC is used for
- Adding a payee for NEFT, RTGS, or IMPS
- Salary, vendor, rent, and tax-refund credits
- Checking that a code belongs to the branch you expect
An IFSC does not prove that an account number is valid or that it belongs to a named person. Match the code with the account number on a cheque, passbook, or bank app before you send money.
IFSC, MICR, and SWIFT
IFSC is for electronic transfers inside India. MICR is a 9-digit number printed on cheques for cheque clearing. SWIFT (or BIC) is used for international wires and is usually one code for the bank, not for every branch. A cheque often shows both IFSC and MICR. They are not interchangeable.

IFSC code questions
Is IFSC the same as MICR?
No. IFSC is an 11-character code for NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS. MICR is a 9-digit code used when a cheque is cleared. Both can point to the same branch, but you cannot use one in place of the other.
Does an IFSC confirm the account holder?
No. An IFSC only identifies the bank branch. The account number identifies the account. A correct IFSC with a wrong account number can still send money to someone else at that branch.
Why would a branch IFSC change?
Codes change when banks merge, a branch closes, or the branch is shifted onto another clearing arrangement. After a merger, an old code on a passbook may no longer be the one the bank expects. Confirm the current code in the bank app or on a new cheque.
Can I use this lookup for an international transfer?
No. Overseas wires need the bank’s SWIFT code and often an intermediary bank. This finder is only for Indian branch IFSCs used in domestic electronic payments.
Disclaimer
This IFSC finder is for general information only. It is not a bank, not the Reserve Bank of India, and not an official branch directory. Branch details are fetched from a public electronic-payments dataset and may be incomplete, delayed, or out of date after branch mergers, closures, or code changes.
An IFSC identifies a bank branch. It does not confirm that an account number is valid, that the account belongs to the person you intend to pay, or that a transfer will succeed. Always match the IFSC with the account number on a cheque, passbook, bank app, or written confirmation from the account holder before sending money.
We do not guarantee that the bank name, branch, address, MICR, contact number, or NEFT, RTGS, or IMPS flags shown here are correct. We are not liable for failed, delayed, or misdirected payments, or for any loss arising from use of this page. For a high-value transfer, confirm the code with the beneficiary’s bank.
