ICICI Bank IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) is a unique 11-digit alphanumeric code issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to make the fund transfer process error-free and convenient. ICICI IFSC code is essential for electronic fund transfers like IMPS, NEFT and RTGS. ICICI Bank IFSC is different for each branch all over India. Let’s take an example.
The ICICI IFSC for the Chhatarpur branch in the New Delhi district of Delhi is ICIC0003543. Each of these digits has a specific purpose.

ICICI IFSC code is a prerequisite for fund transfers across the country, and it is important that all remitters use the right code.
The ICICI Bank MICR code or the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition code and ICICI IFSC code can be found in the cheque books provided by the ICICI Bank. The ICICI MICR code can be found at the bottom of a cheque leaf. Of the three sets of numerics found at the bottom of the cheque leaf, the second set is called a MICR code. ICICI Bank IFSC code can be found on the top left corner of the cheque leaf under the logo of the bank. You can also find the IFSC and MICR codes on the official website of ICICI Bank.
