IFSC and MICR codes serve different purposes in the Indian banking system. Both help identify banking information, but they are used in different ways.
IFSC Code
- Contains 11 letters and numbers.
- Identifies a bank branch for electronic fund transfers such as NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS.
- Can usually be found in a bank’s official branch details, passbook, cheque book, or banking app.
MICR Code
- Contains 9 digits.
- Is primarily used to identify a bank branch for cheque processing.
- Is commonly printed on cheques issued by banks.
Important: IFSC and MICR are not interchangeable. If you are making an electronic transfer, use the IFSC requested by your bank and verify the beneficiary’s account details before confirming the transaction.
