  • Step 1 — Select City: You are already on the Tamil Nadu page. Choose your city from the list above. Type in the search box to filter instantly if the list is long.
  • Step 2 — Select Branch: The city page lists all State Bank of India branches in that city. Click your specific branch — the one where your savings or current account is held.
  • Step 3 — Copy MICR Code: The branch result page shows the full 9-digit MICR code with a one-click Copy button. It also shows the IFSC code, BSR code, address, and phone number for the same branch.

If you already have your State Bank of India cheque book, the MICR code is printed at the bottom of every cheque leaf in magnetic ink — the 9-digit number between the cheque serial number and your account number. You can verify it matches our database by searching BankZop for your branch.

Why Each State Bank of India Branch in Tamil Nadu Has a Different MICR Code

Every State Bank of India branch in Tamil Nadu has a unique 9-digit MICR code structured as follows:

  • Digits 1–3 (City Code): Identifies the CTS clearing zone within Tamil Nadu. Each major city in Tamil Nadu has a distinct 3-digit city code assigned by the RBI. All State Bank of India branches in the same city share this prefix.
  • Digits 4–6 (Bank Code): Identifies State Bank of India within that city's clearing zone. This is the same for all State Bank of India branches in the same city.
  • Digits 7–9 (Branch Code): This is what makes each MICR code unique. The final 3 digits identify the specific State Bank of India branch. No two branches in Tamil Nadu share the same complete 9-digit code.

This hierarchical structure enables the RBI's CTS clearing system to automatically route any State Bank of India cheque in Tamil Nadu to the correct clearing house, bank, and branch — without any manual intervention.

When You Need the State Bank of India Tamil Nadu MICR Code

SIP and Mutual Fund Registrations

If you hold a State Bank of India savings account in Tamil Nadu and want to set up a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), the NACH mandate form will ask for your branch's MICR code. This is how the fund house identifies your State Bank of India Tamil Nadu branch to debit your SIP amount each month through the NPCI's NACH platform. Entering the wrong MICR code will result in a rejected mandate and delayed SIP setup.

ECS Mandates for Utilities and Insurance

ECS (Electronic Clearing Service) auto-debits for electricity bills, broadband payments, gas connections, and insurance premium renewals all require your State Bank of India branch MICR code in Tamil Nadu. The ECS mandate form specifically asks for a 9-digit MICR code — not the IFSC code. The clearing system uses this to identify your branch and process the auto-debit on the due date.

Loan EMI Collection Mandates

Banks and NBFCs operating in Tamil Nadu collect loan EMIs via NACH mandates. When you sign a NACH form for a home loan, personal loan, car loan, or two-wheeler loan, the lender's bank uses your State Bank of India branch MICR code to set up the recurring debit. An incorrect MICR code causes the mandate to fail, resulting in a missed EMI and possible late payment penalties.

Post-Dated Cheques and Cheque Clearing

All cheques issued by State Bank of India branches in Tamil Nadu carry the branch's MICR code at the bottom. When these cheques are deposited by the payee, the CTS system in Tamil Nadu reads the MICR code to route the clearing request electronically. The entire process — from deposit to settlement — happens within one business day, thanks to the MICR-based CTS infrastructure.
