Without IFSC UCBA0000943, money simply cannot be routed to the SILEWARA branch electronically.

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by UCO Bank carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC UCBA0000943 and the account number together uniquely identify the Silewara branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.
