About the IFSC Lookup
This IFSC code lookup tells you which bank and branch a given IFSC belongs to. Enter the 11-character code and the tool returns the bank name, branch, full address, city or district and state, together with badges showing whether the branch is marked as supporting IMPS, NEFT, RTGS and UPI.
It is handy for accounts teams adding a new vendor, business owners checking a customer's bank details, and anyone filling in a payment form. Confirming that an IFSC really belongs to the branch the payee mentioned is a simple precaution against misdirected transfers and against invoices that carry altered bank details.
The result depends entirely on the code you enter. An IFSC has four letters for the bank, a zero in the fifth position and six characters for the branch. The tool checks this pattern before looking the code up in a free public IFSC directory, so always confirm the details with your bank before transferring funds.

Frequently asked questions
What is an IFSC code?
IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code. It is an 11-character code that identifies a specific bank branch for electronic fund transfers. The first four letters identify the bank, the fifth character is always zero, and the last six characters identify the branch. You need it whenever you add a beneficiary for a bank transfer.
Where can I find the IFSC of my own branch?
It is printed on your cheque leaf and passbook, and appears on account statements and in net banking or the bank's mobile app. Once you have the code, run it through this IFSC code lookup to confirm that the branch name and address match what you expect.
Can I search by bank name or branch name?
Not in this tool. It works in one direction only: you enter an IFSC and it returns the bank and branch details. If you know only the bank and branch, take the code from a cheque leaf, the passbook, the bank's website or the bank's customer service.
What do the IMPS, NEFT, RTGS and UPI badges mean?
They show whether the directory lists the branch as enabled for each payment system. A tick indicates support and a cross indicates that the directory does not show it as enabled. The information comes from a public directory, so treat it as a guide and confirm with the bank for large or urgent payments.
Why does the tool say no bank was found for my IFSC?
Usually the code has been mistyped — most often the letter O in place of the zero in the fifth position. It can also happen when a bank has merged or reorganised branches and the old code is no longer in use. Check the latest cheque book or ask the account holder for the current code.
Is this IFSC code lookup free, and where does the data come from?
It is free and needs no login. Bank and branch details are fetched from a free public IFSC directory and may occasionally lag behind recent branch changes. For that reason, always confirm the account number, name and IFSC with the payee or the bank before you transfer funds.
