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 RBL Bank Limited's KOLLAM branch, the IFSC RATN0000371 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.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by RBL Bank Limited carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC RATN0000371 and the account number together uniquely identify the Kollam branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.
