The following validations are used on the Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) field on the Bank Account page in the Mobile Employee Experience (MEE) and in the Equus Platform:

  • The length should be 11 character long

  • Follows the proper IFSC format and structure - the first 4 characters should be upper alphabets

  • The fifth character should be 0

  • The last six characters are usually number, but can also be alphabetic

An Intermediate Bank Information can also be added for each Bank Account record. Intermediate Bank could be a bank, credit union, or clearing house the payment moves through before reaching the final bank for ultimate payment. Intermediate Bank Information can only be added after a new Bank Account record is saved.

In the MEE, if validations are not met, the user will be presented with an error message: "IFSC reference must be 11 digits long.” and the value will not be saved until a valid value is entered. This is true for both Account Number and Intermediate Bank sections.

In the Equus Platform, if validations are not met, the internal user will be presented with an error message and the value will not be saved until a valid value is entered.

Error is indicated with the

icon beside the field and hovering the cursor over the icon will display the reason for the error.

Note, for Intermediary Bank Information section, fields are not validated.
