Frequently asked questions

What is an IFSC code?

Indian Financial System Code — an 11-character alphanumeric code uniquely identifying a bank branch for electronic fund transfers (NEFT/RTGS/IMPS). Format: 4 letters (bank code) + 0 + 6 alphanumeric (branch code).

Where do I find my branch's IFSC code?

Printed on your cheque book (top), your bank passbook, or via your bank's mobile/net banking. Also available on the RBI website and at ifsc.bankbazaar.com.

Does this tool show every Indian bank branch?

It validates format for all IFSC codes and identifies the bank name for 30+ major Indian banks. Full branch lookup (address, phone) requires an RBI database query — the official RBI 'locate bank branch' tool is most accurate for that.

Why is the 5th character always 0?

RBI standard — the 5th character is reserved as 0 for future use. If the 5th character of your IFSC isn't 0, it's either invalid or an old format (rarely seen today).
