Use the search below to find a verified bank IFSC code along with the MICR code, branch address and contact details. Results are drawn from current records and shown with full context so you can confirm the right branch before you copy anything.
Sometimes you don't just know your bank — you know exactly which branch you deal with. Maybe it's the one near your office, the one where you opened your first account, or the branch your salary account is tied to. When the branch name is the detail you're most sure of, searching by it is the fastest route to the right bank IFSC code, because you're skipping straight past the guesswork and heading for a specific point on the map.
This approach shines in a very ordinary situation: someone gives you a branch name over the phone, or you spot it printed on a document, and you need the matching IFSC code to complete a transfer. Instead of scrolling through an entire bank's network, you type the branch name and let the search surface the exact match.
Branch names in India can be wonderfully specific. "Connaught Place", "Andheri West", "MG Road", "Sector 18" — these are landmarks people recognise instantly. If a friend asks you to transfer rent and mentions their branch by name, you have everything you need. The branch name acts like a shortcut, collapsing several filtering steps into a single query.
It is also handy when two branches of the same bank sit in the same city. A large metro can have dozens of branches for a single bank, each with its own IFSC code. Filtering by state and city alone might still leave you staring at a long list. The branch name cuts through that clutter and points directly at the one you want.
When you enter a branch name, the tool looks for branches whose names match or closely resemble what you typed, then shows you the associated bank, city and full address alongside each result. This context matters. Branch names are not always unique across the country — plenty of towns have an "MG Road" branch — so seeing the city and bank next to each result lets you pick the correct one with confidence rather than crossing your fingers.
Every match comes with its verified bank IFSC code, MICR code and address. You get the whole picture in one view, which is important because the branch name alone is rarely enough to be certain; it's the combination of branch, bank and location that pins down the exact IFSC code you need.
Here's the thing people underestimate: within a single bank, every branch has its own distinct IFSC code. The first four characters identify the bank and stay the same, but the last six characters change from branch to branch. So "HDFC Bank" is not enough information to send money — you need "HDFC Bank, the specific branch", and that specificity is precisely what a branch-name search delivers.
Send an NEFT or RTGS payment with the wrong branch code and, at best, the transfer fails and comes back; at worst it takes time and follow-up to sort out. Confirming the branch by name, then checking the city and address on screen, is a small ritual that keeps your transfers clean.
Try the shortest recognisable form of the branch name first. If "Andheri West Main" doesn't land, "Andheri" usually will, and you can pick the right one from the results. If you know the city, keep it in mind as you scan the list — it's the quickest way to separate a "Model Town" branch in Delhi from a "Model Town" branch somewhere else entirely.
Watch out for spelling variations too. Indian place names are often transliterated more than one way, so if your first attempt comes up short, try an alternative spelling. The search is forgiving, but a close spelling always beats a wildly different one.
Branches occasionally get renamed, merged into a nearby branch, or shifted to a new locality. When that happens, the bank IFSC code can change with it. The directory here tracks current records so your results stay in line with what the banks actually use today. For routine transfers that's more than enough. For a one-off large payment, a quick confirmation with the recipient never hurts.
Ultimately, searching by branch name is about precision. You already know the neighbourhood; the search simply hands you the exact IFSC code that neighbourhood's branch runs on, along with the details to prove you've got the right one.
There's a neat logic to why branch names matter so much, and it's written right into the structure of the code. Every bank IFSC code has eleven characters. The opening four spell out the bank. The fifth is a fixed zero. But the last six characters are the branch's own signature — a unique tag that no other branch of that bank shares. So when you search by branch name, you're really hunting for those final six characters, the part of the code that makes it specific rather than generic.
This is exactly why "just the bank name" never completes a transfer on its own. The bank half of the code is shared by thousands of branches. The branch half is what routes money to the correct building, the correct set of accounts. A branch-name search is the most direct way to nail down that second half, because you're starting from the very thing it encodes.
Imagine a small business paying a supplier for the first time. The supplier sends over their details in a hurry: bank name, branch name, account number. No IFSC code, because they assumed you'd look it up — and people often do assume that. Rather than going back and forth over email asking for the missing code, you type the branch name, confirm the city and bank match what the supplier told you, and pull the verified bank IFSC code straight away. The payment goes out the same day instead of waiting on another round of messages.
That responsiveness is what makes branch search so valuable in a working context. Business payments live and die by small details, and being able to resolve a branch name into a trustworthy IFSC code on the spot keeps everything moving. The same is true for personal transfers where someone gives you their branch but forgets the code — which, honestly, is most of the time.
Type the branch name and the search shows matching branches with their bank, city and address. Pick the correct one to see its verified bank IFSC code.
Check the city and bank shown next to each result. Branch names repeat across India, so the location is what confirms you have the right branch.
Yes. Within a bank, the last six characters of the IFSC code are unique to each branch, so the branch name is essential to finding the correct code.
Try both the old and new names. Merged or renamed branches sometimes retain their original code temporarily, so it is worth checking both.
Not sure this is the right method for you? Every one of these searches leads to the same verified bank IFSC code — they just start from a different detail you might have on hand. Pick whichever matches what you already know.
Jump straight to a bank IFSC code search for one of India's most-searched banks, or use the location tool to find branches near you.
