Is it written on the cheque book?

Yes you are right. It is written on my Axis Bank Cheque book, but it is not written on SBI cheque book, or at least I couldn't find out.

ssarkar: I think that this IFSC number is available on all the cheques. If your cheque book do not have the same, perhaps it may be an old chequebook.

yes, Devesh - is right.. may be ssarkar's cheeque book is old.. As I use Bank of India .. so, i don't have any problem with it..

I think its the great way to find out the IFSC no..

That may be true, I will ask my bank for new cheque books and let's see whether the IFSC code is written on it or not.

iFSC codes can be easily know from net ,otherwise from bank itself or from cheque book .I usually ask from branch manger for confirmation.

I think that this IFSC number of your bank is useful for international transfer of funds only. And this type of transfer to India is allowed on paypal only.
Does LR allow such transfer?

Friends, but some sites like xoom ask for bank code. Does that bank code and ifsc code are same? Actually, bank code is asked in many places. I can see the word IFSC only in paypal.

Dear lemon_1800 - bank code and IFSC code is not same..

But why u using xoom - I also use it onece - their service is good but they take high charge. So, as my opinion to u - pls don't use xoom ...

Bank code (swift code) and IFSC code is not the same. Swift code is required for international money transfer, i.e., if I receive some money from some foreign body, they require swift code, where as IFSC code requires only for domestic money transfer.

if you have a passbook of your bank account, the IFSC number will be sealed or printed in it. Or, you can ask any staffs of the bank online or through telephone.

\All the pvt banks are printing this number on their cheque books, but I also donot find it on my SBI Cheque book, as this a public sector bank. I don't know whether this is for old cheque book or sbi donot print this number at all.

Friend, if your paypal is limited like, Xoom will come very handy. I collect my money in LR and then exchange for PP using Xoom with higher rate so I won't be in loss.

**ssarkar** · 08-05-09, 19:45

Lemon, are you exchaning money in LR with that of PP through xoom? How much money you have to pay for this service? I mean to say, how much percentage of commission they deduct for their service?
