# India Bank Branch Directory

> A directory of IFSC and MICR codes for NEFT/RTGS-enabled bank branches in India, sourced from RBI-published branch master data (RTGS.csv and NEFT.csv). Covers bank name, branch, address, city, state, PIN code, STD code, phone, and which electronic funds transfer systems (NEFT, RTGS, or both) each branch supports.

This directory is part of the nearme.3o9.in network of Indian public-data directories, alongside post office, retail store/agent, and higher-education institute directories. It lives entirely under the /india-banks/ path on that domain.

## Structure

- Canonical branch page: `/india-banks/banks/{bank-slug}/{state-slug}/{city-slug}/{branch-slug}-{ifsc}/` — one page per bank branch, keyed uniquely by IFSC code.
- Alternate state-first browsing path (same content): `/india-banks/state/{state-slug}/{city-slug}/{bank-slug}/{branch-slug}-{ifsc}/`
- Short deep link by IFSC: `/india-banks/ifsc/{IFSC_CODE}/` (redirects to the canonical branch page)
- Banks in a PIN code: `/india-banks/pincode/{PIN}/` — every branch (any bank) sharing that PIN, plus post office and locality data for it
- Bank hub: `/india-banks/banks/{bank-slug}/` — all states a bank operates in
- State hub: `/india-banks/state/{state-slug}/` — all cities and banks in a state
- All banks index: `/india-banks/banks/`
- All states index: `/india-banks/state/`
- Background knowledge pages on NEFT, RTGS, LEI requirements, and the Indo-Nepal Remittance Facility: `/india-banks/banks/faq/`

## Data notes

- IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) uniquely identifies a bank branch and is required for NEFT/RTGS/IMPS transfers.
- MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code is used for cheque clearing; not every branch has one, shown as "-" where unavailable or non-numeric in source data.
- PIN codes are extracted from branch addresses using pattern matching and may occasionally be inaccurate for addresses with multiple embedded numbers.
- State names are normalized against known aliases/misspellings (e.g. "ORISSA" -> "ODISHA").
- The "city" field on this site is the branch's city/town as recorded in the source data, not necessarily its formal administrative district.
