What is an IFSC Code?
An IFSC code is a unique 11-character alphanumeric identifier assigned by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to every bank branch participating in electronic fund transfers. It acts as a digital address, ensuring your money is routed to the exact destination. Using the wrong code can cause transaction failures or send funds to the wrong account.
Standard IFSC Code Format: ABCD0XXXXXX
- First 4 Characters (Letters): Represent the bank (e.g.,
SBINfor State Bank of India). - 5th Character (Always
0): A reserved digit for future use by the RBI. - Last 6 Characters (Alphanumeric): Uniquely identify the specific branch.
⚠️ Important: The 5th character in a valid IFSC code is always zero. A different character likely indicates an incorrect or fraudulent code.
