Where is ifsc code in cheque

On an Indian bank cheque, the IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) is typically printed in the top-left corner, near the bank branch's address. It is a unique 11-digit alphanumeric code assigned by the Reserve Bank of India to identify specific bank branches. While the exact placement can vary slightly between different banks, you can generally locate it using these steps:
  • Look at the top section of the cheque leaf, often near the bank's logo or branch details.
  • Identify the 11-character string starting with four letters representing the bank name.
  • The fifth character is always a zero, followed by six characters identifying the branch.
