Over the years, the way we bank has changed drastically. One such aspect of banking is money transfer. Electronic payment systems like the National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT), Real-time Gross Settlement (RTGS), or Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) have made fund transfers a breeze. To make such transfers, you need an IFSC Code.

IFSC Code and its importance in Fund Transfer

The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) is an 11-digit alphanumeric code used for online means of fund transfers. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) assigns an IFSC code to branch each bank. It assigns a unique alphanumeric code to each bank branch to recognize the bank branches and direct the transfer of funds without any errors.

You need the IFSC code while conducting fund transfers electronically through facilities like National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT), Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and Immediate Payment Service (IMPS). The format of a typical IFSC code is as follows:

  • The first 5 characters indicate the bank code
  • The 5th character is a zero
  • The last 6 characters indicate the branch code

MICR Code

The Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) code is a 9-digit numeric code that acts as an identifier for Electronic Clearing Services (ECS). You can find the MICR code on the cheque leaf issued by the bank. The format for MICR is as under:

  • The first 3 digits denote the pin code of the city
  • The following 3 digits indicate the code of the bank
  • The last 3 digits indicate the code of the branch
