IFSC Code – Introduction and Importance

The Reserve Bank of India assigns a distinct 11-digit number to each ICICI Bank branch called the Indian Financial System Code or the IFSC. The actual code is a combination of two, alphabets and digits, which are uniquely assigned to a single branch of ICICI Bank. The IFSC code is a basic part of on-line financial transfers, namely the Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), the Instant Payment Service (IMPS) and the National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT). Without the IFSC code, a financial exchange cannot be affected because the IFSC code determines the bank branch where the money is to be transferred.

The IFSC code usually consists of 11 characters, the first four are primarily alphabetical letters representing the name of the bank, and the last six characters represent the branch number (usually numeric or occasionally alphabetical). The fifth digit is right now set to 0 (zero); and it is reserved for future use. The Bank IFSC Code enables NEFT, IMPS & RTGS to send messages to banks / destination branches.
