Top Banks and Their IFSC Codes
Here's a list of some of the major banks in India and the first four characters of their IFSC codes. Remember, the complete IFSC code includes additional characters specific to each branch.
| Bank Name | IFSC Bank Code |
|---|---|
| State Bank of India (SBI) | SBIN |
| HDFC Bank | HDFC |
| ICICI Bank | ICIC |
| Punjab National Bank (PNB) | PUNB |
| Bank of Baroda | BARB |
| Axis Bank | UTIB |
| Canara Bank | CNRB |
| Union Bank of India | UBIN |
| Kotak Mahindra Bank | KKBK |
| IndusInd Bank | INDB |
How to Use These Codes:
- Identify the bank code from the list above
- Add a '0' after the bank code
- Append the specific 6-character branch code
For example, an SBI branch might have an IFSC like: SBIN0001234, where 'SBIN' is the bank code, '0' is the standard fifth character, and '001234' is the branch-specific code.
Always verify the full IFSC code with your bank or on the official bank website to ensure accuracy in your transactions.
