What is an IFSC Code?
IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code — an 11-character alphanumeric code issued by the Reserve Bank of India to every bank branch that participates in electronic fund transfers. Whenever you send money through NEFT, RTGS or IMPS, the receiving bank's IFSC tells the banking network exactly which bank and which branch the money should land in, alongside the account number.
SBIN 0 000001
First 4 letters = Bank code
0 is fixed
5th character is always zero, reserved for future use
000001
Last 6 characters identify the exact branch

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IFSC code used for?
It uniquely identifies a bank branch so that NEFT, RTGS and IMPS transfers reach the correct destination branch.
How is an IFSC code structured?
The first 4 letters represent the bank, the 5th character is always the digit 0, and the final 6 characters identify the branch.
Where do I find my own branch's IFSC code?
It's printed on the first page of your passbook, on every leaf of your chequebook, and inside your bank's mobile app under account or branch details.
Is one IFSC code used for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS?
Yes, the same 11-digit code applies across all three, though a few older branches may not support every network.
What's the difference between IFSC and SWIFT code?
IFSC routes domestic NEFT/RTGS/IMPS transfers within India. SWIFT (BIC) routes international wire transfers and is issued only to select branches — mostly a bank's head office or its foreign-remittance-handling branches — so most local branches will not have one.
Does this tool save or share my searches?
No. Recent searches live only in your own browser's local storage for convenience — we don't log or store IFSC queries on our servers.
