The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) is an alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a bank-branch participating in the two main electronic funds settlement systems in India: the real time gross settlement (RTGS) and the national electronic funds transfer (NEFT) systems.[1] This is an 11-character code with the first four alphabetic characters representing the bank, and the last six characters (usually numeric, but can be alphabetic) representing the branch. The fifth character is 0 (zero) and reserved for future use. IFSC is used by the NEFT & RTGS systems to route the messages to the destination banks/branches.[2]

IFSC Information

Bank-wise lists of IFSCs are available with all the bank-branches participating in inter bank electronic funds transfer. A list of bank-branches participating in NEFT/RTGS and their IFSCs is available on the website of Reserve Bank of India.[3] All the banks have also been advised to print the IFSC of the branch on cheques issued by branches to their customers.
