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 Karur Vysya Bank's CALL CENTRE CHENNAI branch came to be assigned the code KVBL0001901.

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 KVBL0001901, money simply cannot be routed to the CALL CENTRE CHENNAI branch electronically.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Karur Vysya Bank carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC KVBL0001901 and the account number together uniquely identify the Call Centre Chennai branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.

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.
