What is the IFSC Code for Bank of Ceylon in Chennai?

Every Bank of Ceylon branch in Chennai has an 11-character IFSC code structured as follows:

• Characters 1–4 (Bank Code): All Bank of Ceylon branches — in Chennai and across India — share the same 4-letter bank code prefix assigned by the RBI. This uniquely identifies Bank of Ceylon within the entire NEFT/RTGS network.
• Character 5 (Reserved Zero): Always the digit 0, never the letter O. Reserved by the RBI for future use. All 2 Bank of Ceylon Chennai branches share this character.
• Characters 6–11 (Branch Code): These 6 alphanumeric characters are unique to each branch. This is what differentiates the 2 Bank of Ceylon branches in Chennai from each other. Even two branches on the same street will have different branch codes.

This means you can quickly validate any Bank of Ceylon IFSC code by checking that the first 4 characters match the bank's code and the 5th character is 0. If either check fails, the code is invalid.

When You Need the Bank of Ceylon Chennai IFSC Code

Sending NEFT or RTGS Transfers to Bank of Ceylon Accounts in Chennai

When someone needs to transfer money to your Bank of Ceylon account in Chennai via NEFT or RTGS, they need your account number and your branch's IFSC code. NEFT settles in half-hourly batches (available 24×7), while RTGS settles in real time for amounts above ₹2 lakh. Both are operated by the RBI and require the exact 11-character IFSC code of your specific Bank of Ceylon branch in Chennai. A single wrong character causes the transfer to fail.

IMPS Transfers to Chennai Branches

IMPS, operated by NPCI, enables instant 24×7 transfers to Bank of Ceylon accounts in Chennai — including weekends and public holidays. Transfers using IFSC + account number are the most common method for IMPS. The IFSC code of the receiving Bank of Ceylon branch in Chennai is required to route the payment correctly.

UPI Account Registration

When you add your Bank of Ceylon Chennai account to a UPI app — PhonePe, Google Pay, BHIM, Paytm — the app requires your IFSC code to validate and link your bank account. Once your account is linked, daily UPI transactions use your VPA and you don't need to re-enter the IFSC.
