Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) IFSC Code

IOB IFSC Code

IFSC codes are alphanumeric, 11-digit codes, which are unique to a single branch and do not ever repeat. Money transfers can be done to a particular branch by compulsorily entering IFSC codes or MICR codes. These codes also helps users ensure that the transferred funds go to the right person, without any hassles. The Reserve Bank of India has assigned separate codes to all banks in India and mandates their usage for all online transactions. An IFSC code can be explained as carrying three different segments. The first four alphabets represent the name of the bank to which the code has been assigned. Then comes a zero which is generally a control character, left for future use. The next six digits of the code signify the specific branch of Indian Overseas Bank and this is always unique. The last six digits change with every branch available.

  • Is the IFSC code distinct?

    IFSC codes are distinct alphanumeric codes, yes.

  • Where is the MICR code on the cheque located?

    Each cheque leaf that banks offer has a MICR code stamped on the bottom.

  • Are money transfers without an IFSC code possible?

    No, to transfer money to another bank account via NEFT, RTGS, or net banking, you need your IFSC code.

  • Is sharing an IFSC code secure?

    Your IFSC code can be shared, of course. In reality, one of the information you must supply in order to transfer or receive money using net banking is the IFSC code.

  • After an account transfer, does the IFSC code change?

    Your IFSC code won't change unless the bank combines with another bank. Your IFSC code will change, though, if you change the branch where you have a bank account.

  • Does IMPS require an IFSC code?

    Only when using a bank account number to transfer money is IFSC code necessary for IMPS. If the recipient's MMID is unavailable, the sender must add the recipient as a payee, which necessitates the input of information such the recipient's bank account number, name, and IFSC.

  • I believe the IFSC code I entered while starting a NEFT money transfer was incorrect. How will my money be handled?

    You don't need to worry because you only need to provide the receiver's account number and the IFSC code of the matching bank for a NEFT transaction to be successful and benefit the intended recipient. If you provide an incorrect IFSC code, the system will check it against the recipient's name and account number to find the error and issue a refund. Within a few hours at most, the reimbursement will be shown in your account.

  • What does the IFSC code serve?

    Each bank branch inside the NEFT network is identified by the Reserve Bank of India using an 11-digit alphanumeric code known as the Indian Financial System number (IFSC).
