The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) is a unique 11-digit code assigned by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to every bank branch in India, that is contributed to online fund transfer systems such as RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement), NEFT (National Electronic Fund Transfer) and IMPS (Immediate Payment Service). The Reserve Bank of Indias (RBI) National Clearing Cell tracks all transactions, and IFSC codes help the RBI keep track of transactions as well as perform fund transfers seamlessly. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) uses the IFSC code to conduct electronic funds transfers among banks because the code is quick to recognize where funds are coming from and going to. A list of banks-branch participating in NEFT/RTGS, with their IFS codes, is available at RBIs website. Banks also print Indian Financial System codes on the checks issued to their customers from branches.

It is an 11-digit alphanumeric code, where first 4 characters of IFSC codes represents bank name, 5th character is 0, and the last 6 numbers determines bank branch code. You can find the IFSC Code in chequebooks and passbooks provided by banks, or you can look up IFSC codes at respective banks websites or RBI websites. These are mechanisms for quickly transferring the money in a single day, without using a cheque. First, you can scroll the list down to search the IFSC code of the bank and the branch that you want. The IFSC is an 11-character code, the first four letters being the alphabetic characters representing the banks name, while the final six characters (usually numerical, but may also be alphabetic) representing the branch.
