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.

Without IFSC IOBA0001932, money simply cannot be routed to the PURULIA branch electronically.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Indian Overseas Bank carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC IOBA0001932 and the account number together uniquely identify the Purulia branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.
