No. The bank account number is not part of the MICR in a cheque. MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition and it is used to uniquely identify the issuing bank as well as details of the customer. But, the number printed on the cheque does not contain the account number of the customer. In all the new cheques issued by banks, the account number is separately printed out.
