Data Verification Policy

How IFSCAtlas validates branch information, updates records, and handles corrections.

Last reviewed: 05 Mar 2026 | Reviewed by: IFSCAtlas Data Quality Team

1. Editorial Oversight

This policy is maintained by the IFSCAtlas Data Quality Team and reviewed on a recurring cycle, or earlier when source providers change formats or publication workflows.

  • Policy owner: IFSCAtlas Data Quality Team
  • Current published version: 05 Mar 2026
  • Scope: IFSC, MICR, branch identity, location, and contact fields

2. Data Sources

We prioritize authoritative and publicly available banking data sources in India, including:

  • Official bank branch directories and published updates
  • RBI published reference materials and circulars where relevant to branch/payment context
  • Regulatory and banking-reference datasets where available
  • Internal consistency records from previously verified entries

We are not affiliated with or endorsed by RBI. "Verified by RBI data" in our context means cross-checking applicable records against publicly available RBI references along with official bank sources.

3. Verification Workflow

  • Normalize input fields (bank, branch, IFSC, MICR, city, state, address)
  • Validate IFSC/MICR format and reject malformed entries
  • Detect conflicts and duplicates before publishing updates
  • Route suspicious or inconsistent records for manual review

4. Update Cadence

Data refresh runs are performed on a recurring schedule. Some records may update faster than others depending on source availability and verification complexity.

5. Accuracy and User Responsibility

We aim for high accuracy and continuously improve data quality. For high-value or time-sensitive transactions, users should confirm branch details directly with the respective bank before initiating transfers.

6. Corrections and Issue Reporting

If you find incorrect branch information, contact us with details so we can verify and correct the record.

  • Include IFSC, bank name, branch name, and observed mismatch
  • Include supporting reference (official bank page/circular) when possible
  • Typical review turnaround: 3-7 business days after a valid report
