What is IFSC Code?
IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code. It is an 11-character alphanumeric code used for routing electronic payments.
- First 4 characters — Bank code (letters). Example: PUNB for Punjab National Bank.
- 5th character — Reserved and always 0.
- Last 6 characters — Branch identifier (letters or digits). Example: MBGB06 in PUNB0MBGB06.
How to Use IFSC Code for NEFT, RTGS, IMPS
- Collect beneficiary details: account name, account number, bank name, branch name and IFSC (exact spellings and digits).
- Log in to your bank app or internet banking. Choose NEFT, RTGS or IMPS depending on speed and limits.
- Enter beneficiary name and account number exactly as provided. Paste or type the IFSC PUNB0MBGB06.
