FAQ
Questions
How do I check if an IFSC code is valid?
Enter it in the validator. It must have 11 characters with 0 as the 5th character, and must appear in the RBI IFSC list.
What happens if I send money with a wrong IFSC?
If the IFSC does not exist the transfer is rejected. If it belongs to another branch of the same bank, most banks still credit by account number, but it can be delayed or returned.
