How UPI relates to the IFSC code

UPI lets you pay using a short Virtual Payment Address instead of typing the IFSC every time, but behind the scenes every UPI mandate is mapped to an account number plus an IFSC. For accounts at Bank of Baroda's SHAKUNTALA PARK branch, the IFSC BARB0SHAKUN is what the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) uses to route the credit when you tap Pay on a UPI app.

That is why, even in the UPI era, it is still worth knowing the IFSC of your home branch — for failed UPI mandates, e-mandate set-ups, third-party platform onboarding and salary or refund credits.
