The role of IFSC in India's payments network

3. Enter the beneficiary name, account number and the IFSC SBIN0001212.

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.
