How to use this tool

  1. Type the 9-digit MICR code you want to check.

Worked example

110002001 is 9 digits: city code 110, bank code 002 and branch code 001, so its format is valid.

What this tool does not do / Limits

This tool checks format only. There is no live bank database lookup here, so it cannot confirm a specific bank or branch, and a correctly formatted code may still be wrong or retired.
