About MICR Codes
What is a MICR code used for?
MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) codes are printed on cheque leaves using special magnetic ink. They are read by cheque processing machines and used by the RBI's Cheque Truncation System (CTS) to process and clear cheque payments between banks. Each MICR code uniquely identifies a bank branch for cheque clearing purposes.
MICR vs IFSC — when do I use which?
Use MICR when paying by cheque — it's already printed on your cheque leaf and used automatically during clearing. Use IFSC (UBIN0551554) when making online transfers via NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, or UPI — banks ask for IFSC when you add a beneficiary for online payments.
Where is the MICR code on a cheque?
The MICR code is printed at the bottom of every cheque leaf in a distinctive machine-readable font, using magnetic ink. It appears in the centre of the three numbers at the bottom — the cheque number is on the left, the MICR code 572026002 is in the middle, and your account number is on the right.
