at your IFSC.

Reference: Razorpay IFSC dataset, v2.0.62 · Sources & coverage
ELEVEN CHARACTERS. THREE PARTS.
How an IFSC is structured.
Using HDFC0000001 as a reference example: the first four letters identify the bank, the fifth character is zero, and the last six identify the branch. Branch identifiers may contain letters as well as digits.
GOOD TO KNOW
A few useful answers.
Does an IFSC have a checksum?
An IFSC uses a prescribed character pattern: four bank letters, a zero and six branch characters. The checker validates that pattern and searches for the matching branch record.
What if the code is not found?
Check the spelling or use the finder to search by bank, state and city. The directory’s source and release details are linked below the form.
Is MICR the same as IFSC?
No. MICR is a separate code associated with cheque processing. Where the source provides a MICR value, we display it separately on the branch page.
Which branch details can I find?
Branch pages show the bank, address, city, state, MICR and payment-system details included in the directory.
