Bank of China Ltd IFSC Codes — All Branches by State

Bank of China Ltd IFSC Codes — Complete Branch Directory

Bank of China Ltd is one of India's leading banks with 2 branches spread across 1 states and union territories, all registered on the Reserve Bank of India's NEFT and RTGS payment networks. Every branch has a unique 11-character IFSC code — the mandatory identifier required for all electronic fund transfers in India including NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, and UPI. BankZop's Bank of China Ltd IFSC directory covers all active branches across India, sourced from official RBI master data and updated regularly.

You need the Bank of China Ltd IFSC code of a specific branch whenever you add it as a beneficiary for online transfers, register a bank account on UPI apps like PhonePe or Google Pay, or receive funds from anyone via NEFT or RTGS. This page lets you drill down by state, city, and branch to find the exact 11-character IFSC code in seconds.

What is the IFSC Code for Bank of China Ltd?

The IFSC code for any Bank of China Ltd branch is an 11-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies that branch within India's electronic payment infrastructure. The first four characters of every Bank of China Ltd IFSC code are the bank's unique identifier assigned by the RBI. The fifth character is always the digit 0 (zero), reserved by the RBI for future use. The final six characters are the branch-specific identifier — making the full 11-character code unique to that single branch.

Unlike the MICR code (which identifies a branch for cheque clearing), the IFSC code is specifically used for digital money movement — NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, and UPI. Every online transfer you initiate in India uses IFSC codes in the backend, even when you don't see them explicitly (as in UPI's VPA-based payments). This is why having the correct IFSC code for the right branch is critical before adding any beneficiary.

How the Bank of China Ltd IFSC Code Is Structured

Every Bank of China Ltd IFSC code follows the standard 11-character RBI format:

• Characters 1–4 (Bank Code): Always alphabetic — these four letters uniquely identify Bank of China Ltd across the entire RBI payment network. All Bank of China Ltd branches share the same 4-character bank code prefix.
• Character 5 (Reserved Zero): Always the digit 0 — never the letter O. This position is reserved by the RBI and acts as a fixed separator. Any code with a different character here is invalid.
• Characters 6–11 (Branch Code): Six alphanumeric characters uniquely identifying the specific Bank of China Ltd branch. Banks assign these sequentially or using internal coding systems. This is what differentiates one Bank of China Ltd branch from another.

When You Need the Bank of China Ltd IFSC Code

NEFT — National Electronic Funds Transfer

NEFT is the most commonly used fund transfer method in India. To send money to a Bank of China Ltd account via NEFT, you need the recipient's account number and the IFSC code of their specific Bank of China Ltd branch. NEFT settles in half-hourly batches and is available 24×7 since December 2019. There is no minimum amount for NEFT — you can transfer as little as ₹1. Without the correct IFSC code, the transfer will be rejected at the validation stage.

RTGS — Real Time Gross Settlement

RTGS is used for high-value transfers above ₹2 lakh. It settles in real time — meaning funds reach the recipient's Bank of China Ltd account individually and immediately, not in batches. RTGS is the fastest and most secure method for large business payments and property transactions. The IFSC code of the recipient's Bank of China Ltd branch is mandatory for every RTGS transaction. Since RTGS handles large amounts, always triple-check the IFSC code before initiating.

IMPS — Immediate Payment Service

IMPS, operated by NPCI, is a 24×7 instant transfer service available on all days including weekends and bank holidays. You can transfer up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. IMPS can be initiated using either the IFSC code + account number combination, or using MMID + mobile number. The IFSC code method is more common for transfers to known beneficiaries.

UPI — Unified Payments Interface

While UPI's day-to-day payments use Virtual Payment Addresses (VPA like name@upi), the IFSC code is required when you first link your Bank of China Ltd account to a UPI app like PhonePe, Google Pay, or BHIM. The app uses the IFSC code to verify and register your bank account on NPCI's UPI network. Once linked, you don't need to re-enter the IFSC for subsequent UPI payments.

Beneficiary Registration in Net Banking

Before you can transfer money to someone else's Bank of China Ltd account via your bank's net banking portal, you must add them as a beneficiary. The beneficiary registration form requires their account number and IFSC code. Most banks have a 30-minute to 24-hour cooling period after adding a new beneficiary before allowing high-value transfers. Always verify the IFSC code on BankZop before registering a new beneficiary.

Bank of China Ltd IFSC Code vs MICR Code — Key Differences

Both codes identify a Bank of China Ltd branch, but they are used for entirely different banking systems:

Use IFSC when making online transfers or registering your Bank of China Ltd account on UPI apps. Use MICR when filling NACH mandate forms, SIP registrations, or any cheque-related document. For TDS challan deposits, you need the BSR code — a separate 7-digit identifier. You can look up Bank of China Ltd MICR codes at the Bank of China Ltd MICR Code directory on BankZop.

How Bank of China Ltd IFSC Codes Work in NEFT Transfers

The Reserve Bank of India operates the NEFT and RTGS networks — India's primary digital fund transfer infrastructure. When you initiate a NEFT transfer to any Bank of China Ltd branch account, here is how the IFSC code enables the transaction:

1. Initiation: You enter the beneficiary's account number and Bank of China Ltd IFSC code in your net banking or mobile banking app.
2. Validation: Your bank validates the IFSC against the RBI's active NEFT participant list. An invalid or deactivated IFSC causes immediate rejection.
3. Bank identification: The first 4 characters of the IFSC identify Bank of China Ltd as the receiving bank, routing the transfer request to Bank of China Ltd's settlement account.
4. Branch routing: The last 6 characters identify the exact Bank of China Ltd branch, directing the funds to the correct branch's accounting system.
5. Settlement: The RBI debits your bank's settlement account and credits Bank of China Ltd's settlement account. Bank of China Ltd then credits the beneficiary's account. For NEFT, this completes within the next half-hourly batch cycle.

This process means a single incorrect character in the Bank of China Ltd IFSC code can either cause the transfer to fail immediately (if the code is structurally invalid) or credit the wrong account (in rare system edge cases). Always verify using BankZop before adding a new beneficiary.

Bank of China Ltd IFSC Codes After Bank Mergers

India's banking sector has undergone significant consolidation in recent years. If Bank of China Ltd was formed from or merged with another bank, some older IFSC codes from legacy branches may have been deactivated and replaced. Common post-merger scenarios include:

• Old IFSC codes of the merged bank are deactivated — transfers to those codes fail.
• Existing branches are reassigned new IFSC codes under the surviving bank's prefix.
• Some branches from the merged entity are consolidated with nearby branches of the surviving bank.

BankZop maintains the latest active IFSC codes sourced from the RBI's current master data. Always verify your Bank of China Ltd IFSC code on BankZop — especially if your account was in a bank that underwent a merger in the last 5 years.
