Branch details at a glance

Bank profile

Canara Bank is among the recognised banks listed on the Reserve Bank of India's payments network. The Accounts Section branch — IFSC CNRB0001741 — extends the bank's services to customers in and around Patna, Bihar.

Accounts Section branch overview

Located at II FLOOR PALACE HOTEL BUILDING,, PB 132, SOUTH GANDHI MAIDAN,, PATNA 800001, the Accounts Section branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC CNRB0001741 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 ACCOUNTS SECTION of Canara Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code CNRB0001741 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 CNRB0001741 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 CNRB0001741

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 CNRB0001741 across all three.

How to use IFSC CNRB0001741 for an NEFT transfer

NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is the most widely used method for sending money to Canara Bank's ACCOUNTS SECTION 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 CNRB0001741.
4. Confirm the bank name auto-populates as Canara Bank and the branch as ACCOUNTS SECTION.
5. Approve the beneficiary using OTP. Once activated, transfer any amount and the credit will reflect in the next NEFT cycle.

Real-Time Gross Settlement to ACCOUNTS SECTION

If you need to transfer ₹2 lakh or more in one go to an account at Canara Bank's ACCOUNTS SECTION branch, RTGS is the right channel. Each transaction is settled individually in real time. Use IFSC CNRB0001741 while initiating the transfer and the credit will appear within minutes.

IMPS to Canara Bank ACCOUNTS SECTION (IFSC CNRB0001741)

IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC CNRB0001741 in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the ACCOUNTS SECTION branch account within seconds.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Accounts Section

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 CNRB0001741:

• 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 ACCOUNTS SECTION is still linked to IFSC CNRB0001741.

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.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code

UPI lets you pay using a short Virtual Payment Address instead of typing the IFSC every time, but behind the scenes every UPI mandate is mapped to an account number plus an IFSC. For accounts at Canara Bank's ACCOUNTS SECTION branch, the IFSC CNRB0001741 is what the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) uses to route the credit when you tap Pay on a UPI app.

That is why, even in the UPI era, it is still worth knowing the IFSC of your home branch — for failed UPI mandates, e-mandate set-ups, third-party platform onboarding and salary or refund credits.
