Common Queries
Q.Why is it important to verify the IFSC code?
Verifying the IFSC is critical because it identifies the specific destination branch. An incorrect IFSC can lead to transaction failures or, in rare cases, funds being sent to the wrong branch of the same bank.
Q.Can a bank have multiple IFSC codes?
No, every unique branch of a bank is assigned only one IFSC. However, a bank might update its codes due to mergers (e.g., SBI or HDFC merger changes), which is why real-time verification is essential.
Q.What should I do if I find incorrect branch data?
While we aggregate data from official RBI and NPCI sources, banks frequently update their details. If you notice a discrepancy, please contact the bank directly or use our feedback tool for data correction.
