Did Your IFSC Code Change?

If you had an account with any merged bank, your IFSC code may have changed. Some branches retained old codes temporarily, but most have been updated. Check your bank's website or search on ifscindia.com to verify.

What If I Use the Old IFSC?

Using an old IFSC code for NEFT/RTGS may result in the transfer being rejected or delayed. Always verify the current IFSC code before making transfers.
