The branch is located at 42 KIZHUR VILLAGE NELLIKUPPAM PO SAMBAKKAM VIZ KANCHEEPURAM DIST TAMIL NADU 603108. It serves the Kancheepuram Dist 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.

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 KIZHUR of Canara Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code CNRB0016508 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 CNRB0016508 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 CNRB0016508

Online transfers in India are powered by three major channels — NEFT, RTGS and IMPS — and each one requires a destination IFSC. Below is a quick guide for using IFSC CNRB0016508 across all three.

How to use IFSC CNRB0016508 for an NEFT transfer

NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is the most widely used method for sending money to Canara Bank's KIZHUR branch. NEFT now settles on a 24x7 basis in half-hourly batches and has no upper limit for retail customers (individual banks may impose their own caps).

1. Log in to your internet banking or mobile banking app.
2. Choose Add Beneficiary and select NEFT / Other Bank.
3. Enter the beneficiary name, account number and the IFSC CNRB0016508.
4. Confirm the bank name auto-populates as Canara Bank and the branch as KIZHUR.
5. Approve the beneficiary using OTP. Once activated, transfer any amount and the credit will reflect in the next NEFT cycle.

RTGS transfers via IFSC CNRB0016508

RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) is the fastest high-value transfer mechanism in India. It is meant for transfers of ₹2 lakh and above and settles each transaction individually and instantly. To remit through RTGS to Canara Bank – KIZHUR, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC CNRB0016508 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.

Send money instantly through IMPS

For a real-time, anytime transfer to Canara Bank – KIZHUR, use IMPS. With IFSC CNRB0016508 and the beneficiary's account number you can move up to ₹5 lakh per transaction with instant credit, any day of the year.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Kizhur

The right transfer rail depends on how urgent the payment is, how large it is, and whether the receiving bank participates in the chosen scheme. Every option below works with the IFSC CNRB0016508:

• NEFT — best for everyday transfers of any amount; settles in half-hourly batches around the clock.
• RTGS — best for transfers of ₹2 lakh and above; settles each transaction individually in real time.
• IMPS — best when speed matters more than batch scheduling; instant credit up to ₹5 lakh.
• UPI — best for small peer-to-peer payments using a VPA; the underlying account at KIZHUR is still linked to IFSC CNRB0016508.

For salary credits, vendor payouts and refunds, employers and merchants usually default to NEFT because of its zero per-transaction cost for retail customers and its 24x7 availability.

UPI payments and IFSC CNRB0016508

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 – KIZHUR is still mapped to IFSC CNRB0016508. 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 CNRB0016508 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.

Digital banking channels

Most day-to-day work that customers used to do at the Kizhur branch counter can now be completed digitally — adding a beneficiary, transferring funds, applying for a fixed deposit, raising a service request or downloading account statements. The IFSC CNRB0016508 is the link between the digital channel and the branch ledger; once a transaction is confirmed, the credit or debit is reflected in the same core banking system that the branch officers see.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Canara Bank carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC CNRB0016508 and the account number together uniquely identify the Kizhur branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.
