Overview
Razorpay IFSC API lets you look up Indian bank branch details using an 11-character IFSC code — completely free and without authentication. It is useful for validating bank account information in payment forms or fintech applications. Just pass an IFSC code and receive the bank name, branch, address, and contact details.
Beginner Tip
An IFSC code is always 11 characters: the first 4 letters identify the bank, the 5th is always 0, and the last 6 digits identify the branch. Use the endpoint /v1/ifsc/{code} to validate and look up any Indian bank branch.

How This API Fails
We deliberately sent this API a broken request and recorded exactly what came back on 2026-08-10. Knowing the shape of an error before you hit it makes error handling much easier to write.
Returned an HTML error page rather than JSON — worth knowing if your client assumes every response can be parsed as JSON.
Common Errors & Troubleshooting
Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.
