Branch details at a glance

The role of IFSC in India's payments network

India's electronic payment infrastructure — NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI and the National Automated Clearing House (NACH) — is built on a single principle: every participating bank branch must be uniquely identifiable by an alphanumeric code. The Reserve Bank of India introduced the IFSC system to fulfil this requirement, and that is how Equitas Small Finance Bank Limited's CHURU branch came to be assigned the code ESFB0016066.

Whether you are receiving a salary on the first of the month, paying a vendor invoice, settling an EMI, or accepting a refund from an e-commerce platform, the IFSC is the silent piece of metadata that tells the network where your account lives. Without IFSC ESFB0016066, money simply cannot be routed to the CHURU branch electronically.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Equitas Small Finance Bank Limited carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC ESFB0016066 and the account number together uniquely identify the Churu branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.

UPI payments and IFSC ESFB0016066

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India.
