About Canara Bank

Canara Bank operates a wide network of branches across India, including the Gurmitkal branch in Gurmitkal. Each branch is enabled for NEFT, RTGS, IMPS and core banking, allowing customers to send and receive money anywhere in the country using a unique IFSC – in this case, CNRB0008617.

About this branch

The branch is located at YADGIR HYDERABAD ROAD GURMITKAL YADGIR DISTRICT YADGIR KARNATAKA 585214. It serves the Gurmitkal region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Canara Bank. The IFSC CNRB0008617 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

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 GURMITKAL of Canara Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code CNRB0008617 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 CNRB0008617 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

How to transfer money using IFSC CNRB0008617

NEFT vs RTGS vs IMPS — which one should you use?

All three modes accept the IFSC CNRB0008617 for Canara Bank – GURMITKAL, but they differ in speed, minimum amount and use case. The table below summarises the differences so you can pick the right channel for the situation at hand.

UPI payments and IFSC CNRB0008617

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India. While most UPI transactions are addressed using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) like name@bank, the underlying account at Canara Bank – GURMITKAL is still mapped to IFSC CNRB0008617. When a customer links a savings or current account to a UPI app for the first time, the app silently looks up this IFSC against the account number to verify the account exists. The VPA acts as a friendly alias on top of the same plumbing.

If a UPI transfer to or from this branch fails, the most common reasons are an inactive UPI handle, a daily limit breach or a temporary outage at one of the participating banks — not the IFSC. You can always fall back to NEFT or IMPS using the IFSC CNRB0008617 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
