HDFC IFSC and MICR Code

HDFC Bank IFSC Code

IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code, which is a key issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). It helps streamline the fund transfer process and make it error-free. IFSC code is an 11-digit alphanumeric code and is unique for each bank branch. This code is used for electronic fund transfers like IMPS, NEFT and RTGS. HDFC IFSC code, like other bank codes, is unique and different for each of the branches all over India. Before initiating any type of fund transfer transaction, it is important that all remitters use the right HDFC Bank IFSC code.

Let’s take a few examples and understand the uniqueness of HDFC IFSC codes.

The HDFC IFSC code for the HDFC branch at Borivali East in the Mumbai district of Maharashtra is HDFC0001106. Here, the first four letters of the 11 digit code stand for the name of the bank. The fifth digit is mostly ‘zero’, and all the banks keep it as zero for later use. The last 6 digits represent the specific bank branch, which in this case is Borivali East.

Take a look at the HDFC IFSC codes of different HDFC branches in the same city.

Though all the branches are in the same city-Mumbai, of Maharashtra, they all have different IFSC codes.
