The present invention relates to a process for producing branched polycarbonate by an interfacial polycondensation method using an inert organic solvent, an alkaline aqueous solution of divalent phenol, a branching agent, and phosgene, which process is characterized in that as the branching agent, one having a partition coefficient of at least 1 is used, and after separation of the reaction mixture containing a polycarbonate oligomer or polycarbonate and an unreacted branching agent into an organic solvent layer and an aqueous layer, the unreacted branching agent contained in the aqueous layer is extracted with the inert organic solvent and the resulting unreacted branching agent-containing inert organic solvent is returned to the reaction system for reuse. The present invention has advantages of preventing waste water pollution and at the same time, increasing the efficiency of use of the branching agent because it permits to extract and recover the unreacted branching agent contained in waste water with efficiency. The branched polycarbonate obtained by the process by the present invention is good in melt characteristics, is great in dependency on a rate of shear, and is small in draw down. Thus the branched polycarbonate is suitable for extrusion molding.
