Branch details at a glance

Bikaner Mn Hospital and Research Centre branch overview

Located at MN HOSPITAL AND RESEARCH CENTRE NEAR KARNI SINGH STADIUM BIKANER RAJASTHAN334001, the Bikaner Mn Hospital and Research Centre branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC CNRB0018342 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

Why every Canara Bank branch has a unique IFSC

Before electronic settlement systems went live in India, money transfers between banks relied heavily on demand drafts, mail transfers and telegraphic transfers. These older instruments routinely took days to clear and were prone to misrouting because there was no single machine-readable identifier for a branch. The Reserve Bank of India solved this by issuing each participating branch — including BIKANER MN HOSPITAL AND RESEARCH CENTRE of Canara Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code CNRB0018342 is therefore not just an internal reference; it is the digital postcode that lets the RBI's NEFT, RTGS and IMPS rails route funds straight to the right branch ledger without any human intervention.

Today, almost every salary credit, vendor payment, refund and EMI deduction in the country flows through this network, which is exactly why a correct IFSC matters so much. A wrong character can either bounce the transfer or send it to the wrong branch, and reversing such a credit is a manual, time-consuming process. Treat IFSC CNRB0018342 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

UPI payments and IFSC CNRB0018342

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India.

An incorrect IFSC almost always results in a failed transfer or, worse, a credit to the wrong branch. Before you click Confirm on a transfer to Canara Bank – BIKANER MN HOSPITAL AND RESEARCH CENTRE, double-check for these issues:

• Spaces or hyphens. Do not put spaces in the IFSC. It is exactly 11 characters: CNRB0018342.
• Wrong branch. A bank can have dozens of branches in the same city. Make sure you are using the IFSC for the actual branch where the beneficiary holds the account, not just any nearby branch.
• Old IFSC after a merger. If two banks have merged, the IFSC may have been reissued. Always verify with a recent passbook or cheque leaf.
• Copy-paste from chat. Auto-correct on phones can silently change letters in IFSC codes. Type carefully or copy from a trusted source like the cheque book.
