Reserve Bank of India or RBI introduced the electronic fund transfer scheme allowing customers to transfer money from one account to another electronically. It is an inter-bank fund transfer system, where RBI is the connecting link between the remitter bank and the recipient bank. Two main modes of electronic fund transfer are National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) and Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) followed by most banks under RBI’s guidance.
RBI has assigned unique alpha-numeric codes to all branches of banks participating in NEFT/RTGS. The code referred to as the Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) contains 11 characters. The significance of an IFSC code is that it identifies the originating as well as the destination bank and routes the transaction instructions to the appropriate branch of the bank, in an online electronic fund transfer. There are three parts in an IFSC code, the first part of the code is the first four characters that represent the name of the bank. The second part or the fifth character of the code is zero (0) and is the control element of the code. The third part is the last six characters which is either numeric or alpha-numeric and is code for the bank’s branch.
RBI also has a self-assigned IFSC code that is used to identify its branches. For instance, the IFSC code of ‘Pad Bhopal’ branch of the Reserve Bank of India in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh is RBIS0BLPA01. ‘RBIS’ is code for Reserve Bank of India, while the last 6 characters ‘BLPA01’ is the branch identification code. The fifth character is zero (0).
RBI’s IFSC and MICR codes can be found on external websites or directly by visiting the branch of the RBI. BankBazaar is one of the websites that carries all necessary information of all branches of banks that are a part of the NEFT/RTGS network.

RTGS at RBI:
Banks can use RTGS to transfer high value transactions. RTGS is the fastest mode of electronic transfer as it happens real time. Real Time Gross Settlement implies that the transactions are processed real time as in as soon as a transaction request is raised. The settlement is also cleared individually and not in batches and hence it is referred to as ‘gross’ settlement.
There is no fee for inward RTGS transactions but for outward remittances, for amounts between Rs.2 lakh to Rs.5 lakh, the remitter has to pay not more than Rs.30 per transaction and for transactions above Rs.5 lakh, the remitter has to pay not more than Rs.55 per transaction.
