  • The Indian Financial System Code (IFS Code or IFSC) is an alphanumeric code that facilitates electronic funds transfer in India. 
  • A code uniquely identifies each bank branch participating in the two main Payment and settlement systems in India  - The Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and The National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) systems.

Format


  • The IFSC is an 11-character code with the first four alphabetic characters representing the bank name, and the last six characters (usually numeric, but can be alphabetic) representing the branch.
  • The fifth character is 0 (zero) and reserved for future use. 
  • Bank IFS Code is used by the NEFT & RTGS systems to route the messages to the destination banks/branches.

The IFSC system is only for domestic transactions thus every bank branch in India irrespective of whether they are public sector, private sector or foreign banks will have an IFSC Code that acts as a unique identifier for the bank branch.

In case of overseas remit systems, the international standard continues to be the SWIFT code, which is often not branch specific.

  • The Lok Sabha passed the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Bill, 2017, which disqualifies wilful defaulters and existing promoters from bidding for stressed assets of companies undergoing insolvency proceedings.
  • The high levels of NPA at present are due to window dressing and due to evergreening of loans. 
  • This situation has arisen because loans were restructured and not classified as NPAs. 
  • The problems were shoved under the carpet and these came to light because of the asset quality review initiated by RBI in 2015. 
  • Importantly, the bill replaces an ordinance that was brought in last month seeking to bar wilful defaulters, defaulters whose dues had been classified as non-performing assets (NPAs) for more than a year and all related entities of these firms from participating in the resolution process.
