Barclays Bank

RBI has allotted IFSC codes to all the bank branches in India to easily identify transactions done through a particular branch. IFSC codes are unique 11-digit codes with alphanumeric characters, which are given to all bank branches and the code won't repeat. It is mandatory to enter IFSC code or MICR code to identify the branches to perform fund or cash transactions. Without this code the bank branches can't transfer funds.

These codes help the users to ensure that the transferred funds go to the right person, without any errors.
