Branch details at a glance

The role of IFSC in India's payments network

India's electronic payment infrastructure — NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI and the National Automated Clearing House (NACH) — is built on a single principle: every participating bank branch must be uniquely identifiable by an alphanumeric code. The Reserve Bank of India introduced the IFSC system to fulfil this requirement, and that is how Canara Bank's PATRAPUR branch came to be assigned the code CNRB0000288.

Whether you are receiving a salary on the first of the month, paying a vendor invoice, settling an EMI, or accepting a refund from an e-commerce platform, the IFSC is the silent piece of metadata that tells the network where your account lives. Without IFSC CNRB0000288, money simply cannot be routed to the PATRAPUR branch electronically.

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 CNRB0000288 and the account number together uniquely identify the Patrapur branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.

How to transfer money using IFSC CNRB0000288

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 CNRB0000288 across all three.

NEFT to Canara Bank, PATRAPUR using IFSC CNRB0000288

National Electronic Funds Transfer is the simplest way to move money into an account at this branch. NEFT works around the clock, including Sundays and public holidays, and settles in half-hourly batches.

To send funds, add the recipient as a beneficiary in your bank's online portal, key in the account number, paste the IFSC CNRB0000288, and confirm that the system picks up Canara Bank – PATRAPUR. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

Real-Time Gross Settlement to PATRAPUR

If you need to transfer ₹2 lakh or more in one go to an account at Canara Bank's PATRAPUR branch, RTGS is the right channel. Each transaction is settled individually in real time. Use IFSC CNRB0000288 while initiating the transfer and the credit will appear within minutes.

IMPS to Canara Bank PATRAPUR (IFSC CNRB0000288)

IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC CNRB0000288 in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the PATRAPUR branch account within seconds.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Patrapur

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 CNRB0000288:

• 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 PATRAPUR is still linked to IFSC CNRB0000288.

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 PATRAPUR branch, the IFSC CNRB0000288 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.
