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 Indian Bank's KANCHEEPURAM branch came to be assigned the code IDIB000K559.

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 IDIB000K559, money simply cannot be routed to the KANCHEEPURAM branch electronically.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Indian Bank carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC IDIB000K559 and the account number together uniquely identify the Kancheepuram branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.

How to transfer money using IFSC IDIB000K559

Send money instantly through IMPS

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 Indian Bank's KANCHEEPURAM branch, the IFSC IDIB000K559 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.
