EFT Payments

What is an EFT?

NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is an electronic funds transfer system, which facilitates transfer of funds to other bank accounts across the country. It is widely used by all the largest banks and corporations because it is more efficient and secure than payment by paper cheques.

How to Find Your Bank Account Number?

You can find your bank account number and IFSC within the string of numbers located at the bottom of one of your cheques. The IFSC is an 11-character code with the first four alphabetic characters representing the bank, and the last six characters representing the branch.

Please contact your bank's customer care department if you are unable to locate your bank account number and/or your IFSC.
